ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours has been named “Best Bike Tour” in the 2026 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, earning top recognition from travelers who voted for the bicycle tour company that continues to redefine what is possible on two wheels. These awards recognize outstanding travel experiences, with winners selected through public voting following expert nominations.
For ExperiencePlus!, the award represents more than a celebration of its acclaimed cycling itineraries around the world—it reflects the company’s ongoing pursuit of excellence through innovation, thoughtful route design, and a commitment to helping travelers experience destinations in a deeper, more meaningful way.
“Since we first started sharing the world with our travelers over 50 years ago, we continue to believe that the best way to experience the world is on a bicycle,” says Maria Elena Price, co-owner of ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “Not just to see a place, but to sense it fully, and for us, excellence has always meant continuing to explore what’s next: finding new routes, introducing travelers to unexpected destinations, and creating experiences that connect people to places in a more authentic way.”
That spirit of exploration is at the heart of the company’s newest evolution: Beyond, a new collection of bicycle tours designed for travelers looking to venture beyond traditional cycling routes and destinations. The new itineraries bring ExperiencePlus!’ signature approach—immersive experiences, local connections, expert-led journeys, and thoughtfully designed routes—to extraordinary places where travelers may not expect to find a bike adventure, including Chilean Patagonia, Finland’s Arctic Lapland, and Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater.
Beyond journeys build on ExperiencePlus!’ more than five decades of experience creating bicycle trips across Europe and around the world, while pushing the boundaries of where cycling can take travelers.
“Cycling has always been about more than the ride,” says Price. “It’s about slowing down enough to notice the details—the landscapes, communities, cultures, and stories along the way. Beyond allows us to bring that philosophy to new corners of the world.”
From self-guided adventures that give travelers freedom to set their own pace to fully supported journeys led by expert local guides, ExperiencePlus! continues to expand its portfolio while staying true to the company’s founding belief: that the best way to experience a destination is by bike.
The USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Award adds to a growing list of recognition for the company and reinforces its position as a leader in active and experiential travel.
