At Grand Tours Project, we simply love Spain (and Portugal!). And our 2024 tours are now open for early bookings. We're the experts in guiding passionate cyclists in riding every kilometre of this amazing race, just a few hours ahead of the pros. We're also experts in guiding a more relaxed tour in each week of the race (50-100km each stage). Join us in Spain, and be ready to be surprised by this incredible cycling destination.
With our "Ride Every Kilometre" tours, we're offering the opportunity to ride the entire route - Every. Single. Kilometre. You can choose to ride 3, 6, 9 or all 21 stages. You will need to be a strong cyclist to achieve this challenge, but you don't need to be an elite athlete ... ours is journey, not a race, and we'll leave enough time on each day to enjoy our lunch breaks and photo stops. Once we cross the finish line each day, we'll sit back and watch the race as the "fight for red" takes place only a couple of hours after us.
If this is a bit too challenging for you, then join us on one of our more relaxed "Experience" tours, as we ride 50-100 km on each of the stages of the race. You will have more time to watch the race at the finish line, visit the "special areas", enjoy poolside drinks at the hotel, and explore the village or town you stay at each evening.
There are very limited spaces on these tours - with a maximum of 7 riders on each tour, supported by 1 expert guide and 1 driver. This small group will ride together and will always have the support van close by – with drinks, snacks and dry clothing. Riding on the race course just a few hours before the pros, with the support of the crowds and our team, makes this an unforgettable experience.
OUR 2024 TOURS WILL BE DISPLAYED BELOW after the official announcement of the full route of La Roja 2023.
