Dyll Davies, a keen amateur cyclist, set up Viva Velo in 2016 with one very clear idea in mind: to create a cycle tour company that had the ethos of a club and which specialised in designing bespoke cycle tours at a price that wouldn't break the bank.

Fast forward 8 years and Dyll’s idea has come to fruition. After establishing a reputation for creating cycling trips tailored to the individual and having survived the rigours of the Covid pandemic and Brexit! - Dyll has decided to retire. But in that short period he has met many clients who have become friends and, loathe to throw away all the experience he has gained in that time, he came up with the idea of forming AN ACTUAL CYCLING CLUB which would offer its members great cycling trips at virtual cost price.

The concept is simple: Dyll charges a small admin fee of £25 an hour for organising the trips (which adds usually £250-£500 to each trip) but otherwise all other elements of the trip are provided at costs to the members. The result? Super value cycling holidays all produced with the same attention to detail and care for each and every cyclist on them that marked Viva Velo Cycle Tours out from the crowd.  You can find out more about the exact nature of the process on our OUR TOURS page.
