Premiere hotels with exceptional views are the order of the day on this beautiful bike tour.

Spend two nights at the Hotel Domestique in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The third night is at Pilot Cove in modern cabins next to the Pisgah National Forest, and the final night at the superb Inn on Biltmore Estate.

Single and twin room availability is limited on this trip. The tour operator will try to find a roommate (of the same gender) for guests wishing to share a room.

If you sign up more than 95 days in advance of your trip and no roommate is available, 50 percent of the private room charge will be due at final payment. Should a roommate be found before your trip departs, the private room charge will be refunded. If you sign up less than 95 days in advance of departure and no roommate is available, the full private room charge will apply. If a roommate is found before your trip departs, the private room charge will be refunded.

On some trips, twin rooms are limited or unavailable; a private room charge applies if a shared twin room is not available, regardless of the number of days before departure.
