HOW WE CHOSE

THE WINNERS

We looked at

hundreds of bike

tour companies

from around the

world and scruti-

nized their itiner-

aries for average

tour size, traveler

reviews, value,

custom options,

and quality of the

rental fleet. We

also considered

timeless essentials

like staff training

and logistical

expertise that dif-

ferentiate the best

from the rest. We

surveyed industry

insiders and our

well-traveled editors

for insight on what’s

hot right now—off-

the-beaten- track

destinations like

Slovenia and

Colombia; the wild

popularity of gravel

riding; and a wider

range of self- guided

trips for intrepid or

budget-conscious

travelers.
