5. Self Guided Tours
Cyclomundo is unique because of their
specialization in self-guided touring. Cyclomundo
provides maps, route notes and
suggestions, handles meal and lodging
bookings, and provides luggage transfers. This
allows cyclists to experience the best opportunities
and rides available in an area, while giving them the
freedom to travel at their own pace. With self-
guided tours, cyclists have the opportunity to go as
fast or as leisurely as they like, and Cyclomundo’s
maps and notes ensure that cyclists won’t miss a
thing. The many options for this type of touring is
what sets Cyclomundo apart, according to many of
their past clients.

6. Guided Tours
In addition to self-guided tours, Cyclomundo
also offers guided bicycle tours led by local
guides who have been professionally
guiding, recreationally riding, and living in
these regions for years.
Since Cyclomundo’s guides are true
locals, they have access to personal
knowledge, connections and inside info that
most tour companies just can’t offer. This key
difference is what makes Cyclomundo’s
guided trips truly stand out from the pack.

9. Care for the Environment
Cyclomundo is involved with a few cycling
advocacy groups, including Bourgeons in
Annemasse, Pro-Velo and Eco-Cycle in
Geneva, that help promote cycling as a
means for responsible travel. As
such, Cyclomundo always tries to steer
consumers away from cars and get them on
bikes. Cyclomundo does this by offering a 50-
euro discount to all clients that are also
members of a cycling advocacy group.
Also, Cyclomundo office employees and
interns are each provided with a bike to use
for daily commuting.

10. Care for the Economy
As a France-based
company, Cyclomundo pays taxes that
help the local economy and
communities. Similarly, Cyclomundo
works with small companies including
locally owned hotels, bike
shops, restaurants, guides, mechanics
and incoming agencies. Working with
local, family-owned businesses
guarantees that the money remains in
the local economy, benefiting the local
communities, services, roads and
infrastructure.

11. Care for the Community
Cyclomundo’s headquarters are in
Geneva, so they really can't get any more
“local”.
Cyclomundo’s business model is based
on the use of a network of renters, local
operators and guides. Cyclomundo
doesn’t fly guides from the US or the
UK... all operators and guides are
locals, and bikes are bought from local
shops. Cyclomundo’s business directly
contributes the individuals and local
businesses that their tours take place in.
