Travel safely with Velociped

With our modules for risk-free holiday planning and safe travel, you can look forward to your cycling trip in a relaxed manner.

Up to 28 days before the start of your trip, you can flexibly rebook your trip for a later date of your choice. The rebooking fee is € 50.00 per person.

In the event of an official travel or transport ban for your destination, arrival or departure areas during your travel period, you can rebook or cancel your trip free of charge.

If you cancel your trip due to a travel warning for your holiday destination, we will refund any payments already made in full within 14 days.

Your payments to Velociped are 100% protected by the "insolvency insurance" which Velociped has taken out as a tour operator with TourVers. You will receive a corresponding "security certificate" from us at the time of booking, which proves this. You will get your payment back in any case, even if Velociped would be forced to file for insolvency.

 

In order to cover the financial risks of an unexpected cancellation or interruption of your trip, we recommend that you take out travel insurance.

During your trip, we are also on duty for you at the weekend in case of emergency and can be reached by phone 7 days a week.

For further questions and answers, we are happy to help by e-mail or telephone. Our office is staffed Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Telephone: +49 (0) 6421 88689-0

Tour type: individual or guided

To ensure that you have a wonderful time, with us you don’t just have a large choice of tours; you can also pick the right tour type for you.

Individual bike tours

Individual bike tours mean that you determine your personal daily routine, the highlights of your tour as well as where and how long you are going to stay. You may, of course, ask us for suggestions and insider tips, and we will gladly be at your disposal for a perfect planning and coordination of your tour. In any case, we will always fit in with your ideas and wishes. But you can also make it easy for yourself resorting to our long-standing classics of individual bike tours. You will be amazed about these classics, too.

Your individuality does not at all mean that you should renounce to the amenities of a Velociped tour: We have developed for all of our individual tours our special all-carefree service for individual tours.

Guided tours

Guided tours mean that you just get on your bike and enjoy your holiday. The tour guide will care about everything else.
We have sorted out the most beautiful routes for you, taking you on and off to some hidden corners and telling you exciting stories about the people and regions. Wherever it is worthwhile, we have organised sightseeings and guidances for you. But there is still more we will do for you on a guided tour. We will care about the transport of your luggage, we will care about relaxing rests, and in many cases a tour’s own accompanying bus will be with your group all the time.
In short: We take care of everything that simply makes your holiday unforgettable.
The maximum number of participants normally is approx. 20 per group. It is the mix that guarantees interesting conversations and good mood.

Routing

The routes you take are crucial to your individual travel experience. That's why we've put a lot of effort into selecting our cycling routes. Quiet bike paths, hidden forest trails, selected side roads, dreamy towpaths: on our tours, we leave cars, noise, and exhaust fumes behind.
If regional conditions change on site - for example, due to construction sites, new bike paths, or seasonal restrictions - we flexibly adjust our route to ensure you always have a safe, harmonious, and enjoyable cycling experience.
Detailed information about the nature of each stage - such as the surface, route, or location near water - can be found in the detailed itinerary.

We would like you to share with us. Namely, our enthusiasm for bicycle travel and our conviction that everyone can join in. Whether young or old, whether family, group or people with disabilities: with us everyone rides well.
Our bike tours provide the ideal framework for shared experiences. Not only the destinations and cycling routes are varied, but also the different levels of difficulty take into account individual ideas and requirements.

There is no age limit on our bike tours. The youngest tour participants take a seat in our children's trailers or cycle on comfortable youth bikes. And the somewhat older ones are supported in their condition by our electric bikes.

travel reports
travel report Moselle Classic
I have been working on the Moselle region for Velociped-Fahrradreisen for over a year now. So I was all the more delighted when I finally had the opportunity to discover the Moselle by bike myself. I was excited as soon as I arrived: what would the hotels be like that we select so carefully for our guests? I was looking forward to checking in myself at the places where our cycle tourists usually stay. I was just as curious about the comfort of our rental bikes and what the quality of the cycle paths would be like “in real life.” I also wanted to experience the luggage transfer and return transfer from a traveler's perspective—after all, it's often these details that make a cycling trip relaxed and complete.

Sustainability
Report from the sustainability team
A lot has happened because sustainability is close to our hearts: we have immersed ourselves in the certification process, reviewed and changed office procedures, diligently collected information from our partners, and worked on new projects. In short, we are in the middle of an exciting journey that challenges us every day—and inspires us. Find out how these changes feel, what progress we have already made, and why the journey is just as important to us as the destination.

Travel Report Rhine sportive
There are cyclists who only ride when the sun is shining — and there are those who don't let the weather stop them. My wife and I definitely belong to the second category. Our decision to cycle the Rhine Cycle Route from Mainz to Cologne in three stages proved to be a challenge, but that's exactly what made the tour an unforgettable adventure.

Behind the scenes
Team event Trip to the Dammühle
Every year, shortly before the start of the season, we cyclists get itchy feet. We want to test our new bikes and get in the mood for the season with a small team event. So this April, we'll be getting on our bikes and cycling a short route around Marburg.
