I like cycling, but I'm not well-trained. Am I able to make a bike and barge tour?
You don't have to be a trained cyclist/walker, but please do consult the route you are interested in: each bike or walking tour has a different level and requires a different kind of preparation.
In the description of each tour you will find the activity level based on the length of the stages and possible elevation gain.
