About Us
We are a bicycle tour company specialising in road and mountain bike tours to Europe. We take only small groups of up to 12 to ensure we can provide you with exceptional personal service and a cycling and cultural experience that will long be remembered. We venture onto less travelled paths to show you the true beauty of Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Norway allowing you to discover the most beautiful places in those countries. See our list of tours for 2011.
We offer a variety of tours to suit cyclists of all abilities - from the casual cyclist to the serious amateur racer wanting to test themselves on Italy’s most challenging routes. If you are looking for something more personalised, we can prepare a tour customised to your requirements.
All our tours are identified with a difficulty rating so it’s easy to choose a tour that best suits your cycling ability and experience.

Garmin - our 'other' Guide
We thoroughly brief you before each ride, and our guides and road support are with you all the way, but PuntoTours likes to ensure each tour member has their own map and instructions when on the road. PuntoTours equips every bike with a Garmin GPS unit for the duration of the tour, uploaded with daily routes. Garmin does the map reading for you, providing direction notification and homing, as well as recording your daily stats of time, distance, length of ascent, course profile, route and calorie consumption. We will establish a Garmin web account for your, upload your personal data into it, allowing you to then access that data when you wish and show family friends where you went on your Giro d'Italia with PuntoTours!
