The “Three C’s” - Charm, Comfort and Convenience – our accommodations range from small family-run country inns to monasteries, manor houses, castles and luxury hotels. We always aim to offer the best in the area and we look for that extra special something, as well as convenient location to sights and events.
With an average group size of 6 to 8 people, when we say small group travel, we mean it! Our tours run with a maximum standard group size of 16 people. This means our guides can spend more time with you and help you make to most of your travel experience. We also run tours with no minimum - yes, we have offered fully supported trips to lone cyclists!
Cycling Centuries began as a far-fetched suggestion in 1986 when few companies were in the field of cycle touring.
My mother, Maggie Deffense, took that suggestion and ran with it, creating Cycling Through The Centuries, a unique and specialized company offering small group, culturally in-depth cycling trips off-the-beaten tourist path.
Over the last 30 years we have shared our love of these countries with hundreds of other cyclists.
