World-class cycling, running, and triathlon holidays, crafted for athletes who crave adventure, connection, and unforgettable views with every mile.
Knowledge
At Custom Velo Tours, we believe the best way to experience a place is under your own power, on two wheels or two feet.
With deep local knowledge and years of coaching and guiding experience, we design every trip to bring out the best in each location, whether you’re chasing cols, clocking run mileage, or tuning up all three disciplines for race season.
Our flexible, inclusive approach welcomes triathletes, cyclists, and runners of all levels. From seasoned athletes to adventurous beginners, everyone gets the support they need.
We handle the logistics, so you can focus on the trail ahead, the next climb, or the post-session espresso. And of course, we’ll celebrate each day’s effort with incredible local food and great company.
Support
From long mountain climbs to coastal runs and sunrise swims, we’re with you every step, stride, and pedal stroke.
Our tours are tailored to your goals, whether you’re building endurance, prepping for a race, or simply soaking in the scenery. With full support vehicles, expert guidance, and on-route refreshments, you can train hard or take it easy, knowing we’ve got the details covered.
As experienced athletes and thoughtful travellers, we design every itinerary to go beyond the sport. We support local communities, travel sustainably, and always make time to connect over great food and shared stories.
Join us for an unforgettable adventure, where world-class support meets world-class destinations.
Memories
Whether you’re running trails, riding mountain passes, or diving into the open water, this is more than a training week. It’s an experience that stays with you.
We craft our tours to help you discover new places, push your limits, and fully immerse yourself in the culture along the way. Think local food, real conversations, and the kind of moments that make you smile long after you’ve unpacked your kit.
Each tour is a shared journey. You’ll train, eat, and explore alongside like-minded athletes, and somewhere between the early morning starts and the evening toasts, you’ll form friendships that last well beyond the finish line.
Come for the challenge. Leave with the memories.

What They Say
Cannot thank Peter, Donna and Eric enough for their detailed planning of routes, break stops, support, accommodation and organization throughout this truly wonderful experience.
The N2 route took us right down the spine of Portugal, through villages and towns tourists won't consider ( their loss). From what seemed like never ending ascents, to rolling roads that stretched out as far as the eye could see.
You like cycling you'll love the N2. Best bit, managing to finish each day. Worse bit, finishing the tour, I could do it all over again. Strangely enough I've booked again for April 2023!
Alas he had to eject shortly after takeoff. It ended up being a pretty epic last day in the Algarve. Great trip! Really fun group of riders here. Very much appreciate the invitation from Eric R! Awesome area to ride. Recommend it strongly, if you have a chance. Lots of rain and wind this week
