Highlights

    • Savor delicious Mediterranean cuisine, including paella, all flavored with unique Majorcan touches and accompanied with delicious local wines.
    • Complement your cycling days with stays in luxurious boutique hotels, each a unique property with its own character and history that embody the region.
    • Ride in a cyclist’s paradise of diverse landscapes: turquoise Mediterranean waters, dramatic Tramuntana mountains, coastal wetlands, emerald farmland and vineyards, rice fields, and more.
    • Stroll small coastal villages with deep farming traditions, each graced with beautiful honey-stoned buildings and a breathtaking setting of mountains and valleys.
    • Meet the owner of one of Mallorca’s oldest fincas and learn how his family has been producing olive oil for 17 generations using the only traditional press on the island.

What's this trip about?

    Think Mallorca is only for professional cyclists? Think again. With our deep Spanish roots, we found the hidden relaxed cycling routes other bike tour companies miss. Of course, the big climbs are there too—for anyone who wants them! As you cycle through lush subtropical forests and mountain valleys, our leaders will introduce you to sunny citrus groves and ancient stone villages bathed in the golden light of Mallorca’s vibrant sunsets. After spinning along the turquoise coast, you’ll savor Mallorca’s rich culinary traditions—including a deep dive into Spanish cuisine with a renowned paella chef, lunch at the island’s oldest olive oil mill, and a visit to the unique salt flats at Ses Salines. With a wealth of fresh seafood, locally produced Malvasia wines, and top-quality olive oil, it’s easy to see why Mallorca is truly a destination for foodies!

With us, you’ll experience your destination with the help of a local, bilingual trip leader with a passion for sharing their home with you. You’ll eat in local restaurants, stay in accommodations that have been family-owned for generations and cycle through vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages. 


With VBT, you won’t just visit a place—you’ll immerse yourself in it. You might follow a centuries-old pasta recipe while taking a cooking class in Rome—or learn a folk dance in Croatia, followed by sharing a bottle of locally-produced Grk wine with your new friends. Exploring the world on two wheels lets you experience your surroundings on a deeper level.

All you have to do is show up at the airport—we’ll handle the rest! From tour consultants who help you find the perfect vacation to expert local trip leaders who show you the best place for gelato, we take care of all the little details that make your trip memorable. We book your flights, arrange all your transportation and accommodations, and move your luggage between hotels. Our support vans are available to give you a lift up a hill or quickly fix a flat tire. VBT takes care of your travel details and creates unique itineraries so you can relax and enjoy your small-group vacation from start to finish.
