Bike Travel Europe
Bike Travel Europe specializes in guided and self-guided gravel bike tours across Europe, designed for cyclists who want to explore beyond the busy roads and traditional tourist routes. With more than 25 years of experience in organizing cycling vacations, we know where to find Europe’s most beautiful gravel trails, quiet backroads, and hidden landscapes.
Our European gravel cycling vacations combine scenic off-road routes, comfortable accommodations, local culture, and authentic experiences. From peaceful countryside trails to remote mountain valleys and charming historic villages, every journey is carefully designed to offer the perfect balance of adventure, discovery, and comfort.
Our tours are suitable for both gravel bikes and electric gravel bikes (e-gravel bikes), making Europe’s diverse landscapes accessible to a wider range of cyclists. Based in the Netherlands, we create small-group cycling adventures and personalized gravel bike vacations across Europe, with a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and personal service.
Explore Europe at your own pace, away from the crowds, and discover the roads less traveled.

Sustainable Travel
Cycling is a sustainable form of travel. To visit those beautiful and inspiring places on our planet, we compensate our ecological footprint. We do this by planting a tree for each participant through TreesforAll. In addition, we use local, if possible, sustainable providers on site. This way, we invest in the future of our planet.
