"I love riding with bikeNOW Europe. Warren takes great care of me, and the other riders are always wonderful company. The trips run smoothly, and we visit spectacular places. It’s always a pleasure. I’m really looking forward to doing it again in Italy this year, and I highly recommend you join us. Many thanks for making my week of riding in Italy such a memorable experience. You are simply the best guides in the world!"

"I’ve travelled with bikeNOW Europe three times, and I’m already looking forward to my fourth tour in 2024. Why do I keep coming back? The cycling is fantastic, the food is delicious, the accommodation is excellent, and the scenery is breathtaking. Warren goes to great lengths to discover the lesser-known roads and epic landscapes that you won’t find on most tours. That said, we’ve also ridden all the classic mountains and cols. After a long day in the saddle, Warren and his team take care of your bike, leaving you to focus solely on your recovery for the next day. Oh, and did I mention how amazing French food is?"

David Sasson
"I joined a group of friends for a tour through the Pyrenees, covering both Spain and France. bikeNOW organised the trip so we could experience three stages of the Tour de France, which made for an incredibly exciting atmosphere! Thanks to perfect timing, we had front-row seats for the cyclists' descent from the Col du Tourmalet – an unforgettable thrill! Despite not being fit at the start of the bikeNOW Europe Tour, I never felt like I was holding up the group, and I was never tempted to use the ever-available "sag-wagon". Warren and his team were a joy to ride with, and I made many new friends along the way. I must do it again before I get too old – perhaps with the help of an e-bike next time, as a nod to my 72 years!"

David Phillips
"I had a fantastic experience with bikeNOW Europe in July 2022, when a small group of us cycled from Bordeaux to Nice. Warren was incredibly relaxed and adaptable, even during the extreme heatwave we encountered. Nearly all of the rides took us along interesting rural roads, where we experienced something special or unique each day. On one occasion, Warren took us to meet a local farmer, and we left with a tour and a box of peaches!"

Tony Curwood
"I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with bikeNOW Europe. Warren and his team were friendly, helpful, and incredibly supportive. The daily rides were fantastic, and the evenings were filled with fun as we shared our experiences (with a bit of banter, of course). I’m already planning to go again next year, in 2023."

Andrew Bray
"I’ve completed three Europe tours with bikeNOW Europe—two with my wife and one following the Tour de France with a group of cycling mates. The team has exceeded our expectations every time, providing countless experiences we’ll be talking about for years. What sets bikeNOW Europe apart from other tours I’ve done or heard about is their ability to cater to a wide range of abilities and preferences. With multiple options each day, everyone can tailor the experience to their liking. I enjoy spending most of the day on my bike, while my wife prefers taking time off for sightseeing, and both are easily accommodated. We’re currently planning another trip with bikeNOW Europe and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

Mark Goldblatt
"Warren is the heart and soul of the tour. His commitment to making it an enjoyable and memorable experience is unmatched. His mechanical expertise, carefully chosen routes based on years of experience and reconnaissance, and his willingness to accommodate most requests make his tours exceptional. I aim to return every year, often repeating routes I’ve done before, though Warren always ensures there are new experiences to enjoy. The extra touches, like the Ponte Vecchio, the gondola in Chamonix, or the funicular in Tignes, add to the adventure. I look forward to joining one of Warren’s tours again this year."

Tony Riha
"I’ve had the pleasure of joining two fantastic tours through Spain and France with bikeNOW Europe. The cycling was, of course, exceptional, and the scenery was stunning. I loved the variety of accommodation, from modern and boutique to classic. The daily route updates and support during the rides were excellent. The tour staff were always helpful, taking care of everything so I could simply enjoy the ride… and the food and wine."

Martyn Hughes
"The tour was fantastic, offering a perfect mix of bucket-list peaks and hidden gems that only Warren’s years of local knowledge could provide. There’s great flexibility to ride as much or as little as you like, which isn’t something most operators offer. There was also plenty of time to eat, drink, and socialise with a great group of guests and staff."

"Waz is the man. When it comes to riding overseas, Warren truly knows his stuff. The routes are well thought out, making for fantastic riding while ensuring that everyone’s needs are met. When I go again, I’ll definitely book with bikeNOW Europe."

Vicki Hazel
"From Annecy to Venice and all in between, I don't have a favourite of all I've seen. The sights and the scenes as we rode those machines, were amazing and awesome and unforeseen. The places we stayed you selected with care, the nights all had were magnificent in the air. For it's true to say Rome wasn't built in a day, and Warren this trip was planned in a meticulous way. The special gift that you share with us each day, is not only knowledge of bikes and people and what they might need each day. You want them to have an experience to heed, and find something special that one might need. The call for adventure and define that special place, that makes their heart flutter and quicken its pace. For one thing you know and want us to know too, is the world is our oyster and that is true. So I can assure you, you will have that kindle spark, with bikeNOW Europe, travelling is easier than a walk in the park."

Adrian Loadsman
"A must. Warren and the bikeNOW Europe team were awesome before, during and after the tour. As a newby to cycling when I went in 2023, I was in great hands and with a great bunch of attendees from all over Australia. One thing I can say is this experience was absolutely amazing, a bucket list item I never knew I wanted or needed and I’m so glad I did! Like many others on the tours, I too will be a repeat client to enjoy another journey on a new path. Thank you Warren and the team, we know how much effort and planning goes into your tours, see you again soon."

"One of the greatest things I’ve done in my life. I should have done it 10 years ago, one thing for sure is I’ll be back there in 2024, I can’t wait! Warren and Jeff were the best hosts and guides I’ve ever had on a trip! Highly recommended!"

Tim Hurle
"I had the most amazing Italian cycling holiday with Warren and his bikeNOW Europe team. Warren tailored all the daily rides for each individual in the group, so if you were wanting to take on one of the many epic ‘Grand Tour peaks’ or simply wanting a ride to see the sights - Warren’s almost ‘local knowledge’ of France and Italy meant we were all well and truely looked after. Even though ‘it was all about the riding’….. it wasn’t just all about the riding…… there was plenty of tourist fun, very comfortable accommodation, great food and wonderful company. I would recommend Warren and his bikeNOW Europe team to anyone who is looking for a great couple of week’s exploring Europe on your bike."
