Beginner cycling holidays Europe

Our beginners' guide to cycling

From carefully curated routes on some of Europe's flattest and most scenic cycle paths, to expert-designed e-Bike itineraries; a Softies holiday is the perfect gentle introduction into the world of beginners cycling holidays. We can offer detailed suggested routes with GPS navigation to help you find your way. As soon as you arrive on your luxury cycling holiday you won't need to worry about a thing.

Exploring by bike doesn't need to be about clocking up the miles and scaling steep hills. Instead, we think the best part is discovering new locations at your own pace and with ease. We are the experts in easy cycling tours, and can offer tailor-made advice to help you find the best beginners cycling holidays in Europe. Cruise up and down the rolling hills of Tuscany by e-bike, stop-off in the lavender fields of Provence for a scenic picnic, or test the water on a short break city weekend in Bordeaux.
