Tour Overview
Texas Hill Country Bike Tour
We’ll let you in on a bit of a secret — Texas Hill Country is one of the best places in the country for scenic and peaceful bicycling. Miles of back roads wind through rolling limestone hills and river valleys lined with graceful cypress trees.
Tour historic and beautiful LBJ Ranch by bike. Cycle to the legendary country music hamlet of Luckenbach. Visit famous historic sites, including the Alamo, El Mercado, and La Villita. Ride the Mission Trail along bike paths leading to a series of Spanish missions established in the early to mid-18th Century. Partake in some of Texas’ most savory authentic BBQ and sip upon locally produced wines during your stay for a true taste of Texas flavor.
Our Texas bicycling trips are scheduled for peak wildflower season when stunning Texas Bluebonnets bloom. The routes are ablaze with their rich purple hue while many other colorful flowers bloom. The trip is centered around a four-night stay in the cowboy chic town of Fredericksburg at a lovely inn that defines rustic elegance and classic Texas character.
