Embark on an unforgettable journey across Corsica, often hailed as the world’s top cycling island. The Corsican Coast tour begins in Nice with a scenic ferry ride to Bastia, where we’ll ease into the adventure with a warm-up ride along the island's northern coast.

The evenings are a delight, with warm temperatures and coastal breezes setting the stage for delicious dinners featuring French seafood and the island’s best seasonal produce.

FAQs

Can I bring a non-cycling partner on the tour?

Yes! Non-riding partners are welcome to join our tours. We offer activities for them to explore the local area, relax, or enjoy cultural experiences while the riders are on the road. Non-riders are transported in our van and usually dropped off at the hotel before the cyclists arrive, giving them time to enjoy the hotel amenities or surroundings. We ensure they feel included in the overall experience.

Are bikeNOW Europe tours competitive or race-focused?

No, our tours are not competitive events. The focus is on enjoying the journey, taking in the scenery, and exploring new places. Riders set their own pace, with guides leading and following the group. You’ll naturally form smaller groups along the route, with regular stops for cafes and photos. There’s no pressure to ride faster than you're comfortable with—our pace is relaxed and suits everyone.

How do you create a sense of community during your tours?

We foster a family-like atmosphere on all our tours. Our small group sizes encourage riders to connect, share stories, and support each other along the way.

How do you select routes for the tours?

We carefully design each route with a balance of scenic beauty, cultural highlights, and rider enjoyment in mind.
