Why Us
Why The Slow Cyclist
At The Slow Cyclist we design and lead small group cycling and walking adventures for the culturally curious; journeys that enable our guests to move at the perfect pace to absorb the beauty of a place - slowly, thoughtfully, and with curiosity.
From the meadows and forests of Transylvania to the red earth of Rwanda, since 2015 we have been crafting experiences with care for the landscapes we cross, the communities we visit, and the guests we guide. Rooted in values of connection, excellence, and respect for the planet, we offer something increasingly rare — travel that is both deeply human and profoundly memorable.
Whether you travel with us in Europe, Africa or Asia, you will be looked after by a team who genuinely care about you experience and what to make it exceptional. All you need is to decide where in the world you'd like to join us - we can help with that too.
Our Difference
For over a decade, Slow Cyclists have been telling us what they love most about travelling with us; and why they keep coming back.
The Slow Cyclist Difference
Our Philosophy
Slow cycling is an antidote to mindless mass tourism. It is about savouring the journey. With an open mind, an open heart and a little juice in the legs, it can provide the ultimate slow exploration of new lands, new people and their history and allow you to take in the sights, the smells and sounds along the way.

Our Guides
Our trips are led by guides and hosts, and understanding the difference is part of what makes a Slow Cyclist experience feel the way it does.

What Our Guests Say
Nothing makes us happier than a lovely letter or email from a Slow Cyclist, back home after their travels. And if you're new to us, there's no better way to understand what a Slow Cyclist journey feels like than to hear it from someone who's been on one.
