Chain Gang focus on small group cycling holidays that take in stunning scenery (photo op delight!) and great local food and wine. Knowledgeable guides take you off the beaten track to some delightful towns and villages where you can sample great food or patter around to your hearts content. The accommodation along the way is beautiful, and not the sort of thing you could easily find yourself. Luggage is all taken care of and you just need to cycle to your nights accommodation. Bikes, helmets, jackets etc... are all supplied - just bring yourself. All in all, some of the best cycle tours we've done are with this group - no wonder so many people keep coming back. Highly recommended!Show more

In September 2017, our group of 4 cyclists did the Umbria bicycle tour with Chain Gang tours. There were other riders on the tour as well so we were 9 riders in total. We met in Orvieto and were transported to the small tour where the tour began. As we cycled through small towns and pleasant countryside, it became clear our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the country. We were seeing beautiful country but also leaning about its past as we travelled through it. The hotels and meals were first rate. The guide and his assistant (van driver) made sure our bikes were in good working order each day. We saw beautiful countryside, had great meals and enjoyed great company. What could be better than that. Show more

I have now completed two tours with The Chain Gang and both were excellent, with fine cuisine, very nice company and very supportive and informed guides. Our trip through Alsace, France was very picturesque, visiting many ancient towns and inns along the way. Our Tuscany trip was very exciting biking through challenging and hilly terrain, on both paved and dirt roads. Our guide Bernard was warm, supportive and very accommodating as my wife navigated the Tuscany hills on a tandem. Bernard is fun, very well informed and speaks Italian, so he was also helpful at meal time with the wait staff working out our meal orders. I highly recommend Chain Gang if you want a pleasant and moderate cycling experience through some of the most picturesque countrysides in Europe. Show more
