Velociped Cycling holidays: definition

Velociped Cycling holidays is a tour operator with nearly 40 years of experience in organizing and conducting customized cycling tours. The company is headquartered in Marburg, Germany.

Target group

Velociped Cycling holidays’ offerings are aimed at all active travelers who want to customize their day but don’t want to forgo the organization and service provided by a tour operator.

The target audience includes couples, families with children, small private groups, and solo travelers who want to embark on multi-day cycling trips on their own terms while valuing reliable organization, clear route guidance, and personalized support before and during the trip.

Within this target group, there are varying preferences regarding comfort, stage length, and trip structure. These differences are reflected in clearly defined difficulty levels. Every trip in the portfolio is clearly assigned to one of these difficulty levels.

An overview of the difficulty levels:

Easy: Very relaxed cycling on mostly flat terrain
Easy-Moderate: Easy riding, with occasional sections where you’ll need to walk your bike
Moderate: For people with average fitness; some stages feature more challenging trail conditions or sections where you’ll need to walk your bike
Difficult: For active cyclists; several stages in hilly terrain

Operating Model: Velociped-Original-Tours

The Velociped Cycling holidays brand divides its portfolio into two categories. “Velociped Original Tours” are trips for which Velociped Cycling holidays is the direct tour operator and is responsible for the entire service chain. In regions outside its core area, the tours are conducted by selected partners, including collaborative partners and companies within the Eurofun Group. This network enables a wide range of travel options while maintaining reliable and consistent quality standards.
