We want to reassure you that we are taking every precaution to ensure your safety and wellbeing during your holiday or course.

As a tour operator, we bring together external services to provide our package holidays. These external services include accommodation and transport. Which in turn have their own Coronavirus (COVID-19) risk assessment/guidelines and can be obtained directly from them in written or verbal format depending on the size of their business (number of employees).

While our CycleActive "in house services" always have very high standards of hygiene, our directors are now overseeing increased levels of cleaning, employee training and additional protocols, so you can be completely confident of your safety throughout your holiday/course.
