Inside access to the world's greatest race
Every summer, the Tour de France rewrites the map of France—sun-kissed Provençal villages, vineyard-dotted countryside, Alpine switchbacks that have made and broken careers. In collaboration with our EF Pro Cycling team, EF Adventures puts you inside it. On the bike. At the finish. The best seat at the race. And at the dinner table.
Ride the route of legends
Ride iconic sections of the Tour de France ahead of the peloton—from the 21 hairpins of Alpe d'Huez to the bare summit of Mont Ventoux. The routes that define the race, yours moments before the pros arrive.
VIP race access
You're not watching the Tour de France—you're inside it. As an exclusive guest of the EF Pro Cycling team, you get access to stage finishes from positions no general ticket reaches, team operations up close, and an invitation to the EF Pro Cycling end-of-tour party. The race looks different from here.
The secret ingredient
Two expert Tour Directors lead every TDF tour. They know how to pace the climbs, the café worth stopping at, and the stories the landmarks don't tell. Trained at our EF Pro Cycling base in Girona, one leads, one supports. Between them, nothing gets in the way of a great trip.

Pro-tour grade equipment
Every tour includes a Cannondale road bike—the same brand that supplies EF Pro Cycling. Choose from performance carbon road bikes, team-spec Supersix EVO Hi-MOD racing bikes, or e-road bikes, depending on your riding style and the terrain ahead. The equipment is the same. The legs are yours.
After the stage
After a day in the saddle, the hotel matters. Joop Zoetemelk said it best: "You win the Tour in your bed." Every property is hand-selected for character and comfort—boutique châteaux, converted manor houses, alpine retreats with views that make the climb worth it. Locally sourced dinners, beds that set you up for tomorrow. A stay worth the effort.

Taste the Tour
Every region the Tour passes through has its own food culture—and we know every table worth stopping at. The market stall on the route, the wine to toast the finish, the restaurant that's been there for generations. From a humble boulangerie to a long dinner at a family-run bistro, France sets the table. And fills the glass.

Le deTour guide
Our 2026 TDF tours have sold out. But for everyone making the journey independently, our local experts have mapped the best stops along the route in our Le deTour guide—a stage-by-stage guide to France (and beyond). Twenty-one stages. Two rest days. Endless reasons to go further.
Sagrada Família, Barcelona
The Grand Départ team time trial rolls directly past the Sagrada Família. Gaudí's basilica has defined Barcelona's skyline for over a century. In 2026, it completed its central tower—144 years in the making, now the tallest church in the world. Perfect timing for the Grand Départ.
Montjuïc Castle, Barcelona
Stage 2 finishes on Montjuïc—the same 568-foot climb our Grand Départ tour riders ascend the morning of the race, on the closed official course. The 17th-century fortress at the summit has been a military prison, an Olympic venue, and one of the great viewpoints in Europe—360° across Barcelona and the Mediterranean below. The peloton crosses the finish line here. So do you.
Gala Dalí Castle, Púbol
Stage 3 rolls through medieval Girona. A 30-minute detour south takes you to Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol. Dalí gave the castle entirely to his wife Gala, decorating every room himself—elephant sculptures, surrealist paintings, a medieval love letter in stone. One of the strangest and most personal museums in all of Spain.
La Cité, Carcassonne
The best-preserved medieval fortified city in Europe. Double ramparts, Roman foundations, and two thousand years of history compressed into one hilltop. The peloton rolls out from beneath these walls. Walk them at dusk after the race—they're yours.
Place de la République Market, Pau
Stage 5 finishes in Pau on a Wednesday—market day. Jambon de Bayonne, Basque cheeses, first-press olive oils, local wine. The whole southwest of France on one square. Hugo and Conan Doyle both stopped here for the view. Stay for the food.
Beyond the Tour. Beyond the bike.
Want more Grand Tour pedigree? Head to the Dolomites to test yourself against the Giro's most famous climbs. Or find coastal perfection in Costa Brava or Mallorca—Vuelta territory, and where the pros come to train for the season. Off the bike, our Hiking and Multi-Adventure tours span five continents.
