Comments attributed to Thomson Bike Tours, Director Peter Thomson
Since setting up Thomson Bike Tours in 2001, I must have covered over 250,000km on the bike and haven’t grown one bit weary of doing so. One of the reasons behind that is the simple enjoyment I have in introducing new cyclists to the most challenging and rewarding cycling experiences imaginable.
There are few better environments to do that than at the Tour de France, where we are privileged with unrivalled access to the race. Together with our new TASA partner, we want you to enjoy that experience with us; to join our expert cyclists, to make yourself proud and to create everlasting memories.
We look forward to welcoming you to the greatest roads, cols and vistas. Let’s Go Again.

The alignment between Thomson Bike Tours and Travel & Sports Australia will be incredibly beneficial to all cycling enthusiast within Australia and New Zealand. The new partnership is expected to generate more sales in 2023 as TASA will begin to promote, expose, and manage TBT.
TBT are complementary to our existing high-end client base. Our valuable clients expect turnkey experiences backed with quality products and services. TBT delivers this in spades – their background, people and culture shine through on every bike tour.
