Steven, Michael, et al,
Of course, I would prefer
that you cycle with us, but we don't offer European tours ;-)
If
you are looking for guided / supported inn to inn tours, I might suggest
Experience Plus. I have known Rick for many a year in the industry
and they run great trips all over Europe. Options range from easy
(101 trips) to rather challenging (401 & Expeditions). -

For guided / supported camping tours, check out Biking Les Alps for low
key, but rather challenging rides in the Alps, Dolomites & Pyrenees -
www.bikinglesalps.com
If you want more independence, but still have logistics organized, try
Randonnee Tours. They have been doing self-guided European trips for
many years, you get nice hotels, your bags transported between hotels and
route suggestions to get from A to B, but no schedule and no guide pushing
you along. -

And when you are ready to go somewhere other than Europe, check us out
(
www.PedalersPubandGrille.com).
For what you will pay for a bike tour in Europe, you can get a bike tour in
Thailand & the airfare from Gainesville to Bangkok and still have some
money leftover.

If you
have first hand experience with cycling overseas, specifically Scotland,
Tuscany-Italy and/or other European countries, I would be grateful for
recommendations of companies you went through and helpful advice you may
have.
Thanks,
