Self Led Tours

Self Led Tours - Velodays Cycling Holidays Scotland

Our holidays offer a chance to see Scotland at close quarters. Our routes combine quiet country roads with stretches of the National Cycle Network, with all routes selected to take you through some of Scotland's best cycling countryside.

The tours listed below are all Self Guided - this means that we take care of all the arrangements (including accommodation, bike hire, luggage transfer and route navigation by GPS cycle computer), while you are left to cycle at your own pace, with your own party.

Our tours are a combination of circular routes and one-way cycles, which offer you the satisfaction of having actually got somewhere as a result of your efforts. Our A to B routes are designed to offer you the opportunity to travel back to your departure point by rail. We have shaped our tours around the availability of quality accommodation and good food. After a day of fresh air and exercise it's the least you deserve.

If you are not sure about committing yourself to a cycling holiday, we also offer a range of Short Cycling Breaks.
