.... The company offers routes that are truly unique and very thoughtfully planned. The accommodations range from very good to magical. The highly competent local guides are friendly and take genuine pleasure in introducing you to their country.  Compared to other companies Easy Rider's trips  give you a lot of bike adventure for the buck! - Wendy Ran, Forchheim, Germany

If you are considering a bike tour of Ireland, I strongly recommend Easy Riders Western Shores trip.  It was definitely the best value and the most fun. - Deb D, Altoona PA

We have gone on three tours with Easy Rider, and have found them a wonderful bike company to travel with. Our two tours in Portugal, Costa Azul and Grape Escape, were especially memorable. The cycling,comraderie, scenery,lodgings, food, wine, and our native tour guides were all excellent. In fact, by using native guides, we feel Easy Rider sets themselves apart from some other tour companies. Portugal is a wonderful country to see on bicycle, and we know in our hearts we will return again someday. Alan and Wendy Holzman, Sisters, OR

Every day on an Easy Rider tour is a treat. Scenic routes, knowledgeable and helpful office staff and guides, exceptional lodging and meals, wonderful picnics and points of interest along the way. Lots of fun with old and new friends. We have toured PEI, Nova Scotia and Ireland with Easy Rider Tours and we highly recommend them. Prepare to be spoiled. You will definately get your money's worth. Margaret S. F., Dallas, TX

We've taken three bike tours (Azores, Andalucia, Portugal) in the last 20 years, all with Easy Rider Tours. I highly recommend this owner-operated company for the reason that we keep coming back: Easy Rider consistently creates a great vacation. Each bike tour has been phenomenal yet balanced: well-planned for the novice and the serious rider, terrific routes providing a great mix of culture, history and natural beauty run by knowledgeable local guides who like good food and have a welcome sense of humor. Easy Rider specializes in Portugal. And the tour of the Azores is a true high point, unlike anything I've done before or since. I can still the hydrangeas in bloom, riding the rim of an ancient caldera, the ocean visible at every turning point. Jeanne McDermott, Lexington, MA

We have done dozens of bicycle trips over the years but have always returned to Easy Riders (9 tours)  because of the quality of its trips.  A great deal of thought and preparation has been put into each trip beginning with the pre-trip orientation information.  Of all the tours we have done, we have only repeated one trip and that was the Camino de Santiago tour.  It is prototypical of all the Easy Rider trips...magnificent itinerary, terrific knowledgeable guides, excellent SAG support, 3*+ accommodations, and always marvelous local cuisine usually directly off the menu including wine. And the local picnics they provide are only another plus. " - Rick and Sandy Gilmore, Rockford, IL

I've taken trips (over 40) with all the major companies and Easy Rider is the best value by far.  Plenty of challenging riding if you want it, excellent support, great accomodations (although you'll generally get a 2-star hotel along with the 3-4s) and unlimited selection of dinner items from the menu plus wine included. - Richard S, Wynnewood, PA

This was our 5th cycling trip and the best one ever! The staff that helped us plan the trip was wonderful and ready to help us with anything and everything! The trip itself was very well organized with lots of good cycling and site seeing. Meals and picnics and museum tickets included in the price was an added bonus. .. We have traveled with VBT twice, Classic Adventures once, and almost went to Spain this spring with Ciclisimo Classico but they cancelled the trip and we found Easy Rider instead! - Kathy Sumpter, Middlefield, CT
