Our Top 5 Experiences on Two Wheels

Often one of the best ways to explore a destination on an Audley tailor-made vacation is by bicycle — so here is our top five

Audley don't really do cycle tours as such but there are plenty of destinations which lend themselves to a day, or even half day, of gentle cycling sight-seeing. Furthermore, the benefits are obvious:

• It's much faster than walking so you'll see a lot more
• You'll get healthy exercise
• For those on a budget it's cheaper than many other types of excursion
• A bicycle has virtually no carbon footprint

We highlight five bicycle tours which you can do on an Audley tailor-made vacation.
