Tour de France: Pyrenees Escape "Experience" Tour, 2025

The Pyrenees experience with GTP was a trip of a lifetime. The climbing, the scenery, and having front row seats to watch the tour was epic! The guides were so fun and supportive and really added to the entire experience. I will definitely be back for more!

Tour de France: "Experience" - Pyrenees Escape, 2025

Grand Tours Project is a don’t miss!! The entire team went above and beyond to provide the experience of a lifetime. We are a husband and wife team who participated in the Pyrenees Escape; I as a spectator and my husband as a rider. As a spectator companion, I was included in the riding group and afforded the luxury of following them in the team van, getting great pictures and video, and providing support with drinks/snacks. There was never a dull
moment, the scenery spectacular, and the access to/amenities provided in Le Tour Villages top notch. The best part of this experience was the people. Our group included individuals from around the globe. The camaraderie was instant and we forged relationships that will last a lifetime. Bravo, GTP… well done!
