Experience Cycling Like Never Before: EF Adventures Expands Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes Tours for 2026
The anticipated 2026 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will offer enthusiasts a unique chance to immerse themselves in the excitement of the races. EF Adventures, a leader in guided tours for active travelers, has unveiled a series of exclusive cycling experiences that cater to riders of all skill levels.
Eight meticulously crafted itineraries are set to provide cyclists with VIP access to some of the most prestigious events in the world of cycling, from the picturesque vineyard roads of Provence to the challenging alpine climbs of mountains like Mt. Ventoux and Alpe d'Huez. This expansion reflects the growing demand for immersive travel experiences focused on cycling, with two of the tours already sold out, highlighting their desirability.
A Closer Look at Tour Offerings
Each itinerary offers remarkable access that would typically be reserved for team staff and sponsors, giving participants the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride the official race routes, cross finishes ahead of the main racers, and celebrate alongside professional cyclists at exclusive post-race gatherings. Travelers not only enjoy the thrill of the competition but also the joy of camaraderie with fellow cycling enthusiasts.
EF Adventures promotes the use of high-quality bicycles thanks to its collaboration with Cannondale, a leader in the cycling industry. Each tour includes the option to ride on one of two premium Cannondale bikes at no additional cost: the
Synapse Carbon 2LE for road racing or the
Tesoro Neo X2 StepThru for e-touring. Moreover, travelers have the possibility to upgrade their rides to even greater performance models, ensuring that they are equipped with the best and newest technology available.
CEO of EF World Journeys USA, Heidi Durflinger, emphasized the blend of excitement and exploration in these tours:
"Whether you're scaling legendary peaks or leisurely cycling through charming villages, you'll be part of the exhilarating atmosphere of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift."
All-Inclusive Pricing and Flexibility
Every tour package is designed to be comprehensive, with costs covering accommodation, bike usage, luggage transfers, nutritious meals tailored to fuel cyclists, as well as VIP events. Knowledgeable Tour Directors and local guides ensure that travelers gain insights into the rich culture and history surrounding the communities in France, Spain, and Switzerland.
Travelers can reserve their spots with a minimal down payment and select flexible payment plans to facilitate their booking.
