FROM Founder STEVE DORST
When I couldn’t find the perfect cycling trip, I created it.
I started by leading friends to Spain, and have been going back ever since. VIBE Tours is how I share that joy with new friends around the world.
My background is in documentary film production. Hosting cycling adventures is similar—demanding to organize, but exhilarating. Like filmmaking, cycling requires your full immersion. On a descent you can’t multitask: you’re focused, free, in the flow.
Our motto is “RIDE. EXPLORE. VIBE.” That means unforgettable days on the bike powered by a spirit of discovery. You can expect local cuisine, hidden village squares, music, mountaintop views—and even cycling champions dropping in for a ride.
It all adds up to a singular vibe only a small, passionate company can deliver. Come see for yourself!
