Every Medfeel tour is already private. Here's how to actually shape one around you.

- Four of Medfeel's six Mallorca tours are "bespoke" by design — booked on your own dates, for your own group, not a fixed departure — ranging from the 3-day Weekend Cycling Escape (€950) to the 8-day Epic Island Cycling Loop (€5,850).
- You can customize the level, the hotel, the bike, and the amount of dedicated guiding, on top of choosing your own start date.
- A dedicated guide day beyond the standard itinerary runs €280-440, and swapping to an e-bike changes very little else about the trip.
"Private tour" can mean almost nothing — plenty of companies just mean "not on a bus with strangers." At Medfeel it means something specific: four of our six Mallorca cycling tours are what we internally call bespoke tours, built for your own dates and your own group from the start, as opposed to social tours that run on a fixed 2027 departure calendar other riders can also book onto. This is a practical guide to what's actually adjustable on a bespoke trip, and how to think through building one.
What "Private" Means in a Medfeel Tour
The Weekend Cycling Escape, Classic Bike Short Tour, Signature Mallorca Bike Tour, and Epic Island Cycling Loop are all bespoke: you pick the start date, we build the itinerary around your group's size and level, and no other travelers are added to your trip unless you want them to be. That's different from our two social tours — the Easygoing E-Bike Tour and the Tramuntana Luxury Ride — which run on scheduled group dates that solo travelers and couples can join. If you're weighing those two formats against each other, our private-versus-group comparison covers it directly. This piece is about the four bespoke tours specifically — the ones that are private by default and open to real customization on top.
The Things You Actually Customize
Duration and level. The four bespoke tours already span a wide range, so the first lever is simply picking the base that's closest to what you want and adjusting from there.
| Bespoke tour | Days / Riding days | Distance / Elevation | Level | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekend Cycling Escape | 3 / 2 | 130 km / 1,850 m | Intermediate | €950 |
| Classic Bike Short Tour | 5 / 3 | 330 km / 3,290 m | Intermediate | €1,250 |
| Signature Mallorca Bike Tour | 7 / 5 | 430 km / 4,610 m | Intermediate | €2,320 |
| Epic Island Cycling Loop | 8 / 6 | 375 km / 6,000 m | Experienced | €5,850 |
The bike. Every bespoke tour can be ridden on a road bike or swapped to an e-bike, and the rental fleet is real hardware, not a vague "e-bike available" line: a Trek Domane SL6 (Shimano 105 di2) from around €44-64 a day depending on trip length, a Trek Madone SL7 or Cannondale Supersix EVO Carbon 2 (Shimano Ultegra di2) from around €65-89 a day, or a Trek Domane+ SLR e-bike from around €67-89 a day. If you're deciding between road and e-bike for the whole trip rather than just one rental line, we've written a full comparison in our road cycling tours guide.
The hotel. Bespoke tours aren't locked to one fixed hotel list — a Medfeel Travel Agent can swap in a different property along the same route depending on whether your group wants a working farmhouse feel or something closer to a five-star.
The guiding. Standard Ride Leader guiding is included on every tour. If your group wants a dedicated guide's full attention on a specific day — a custom detour, a photography stop, a slower pace for part of the group — that's priced separately by day length: €280/€320 (double/single occupancy pricing) for a short day, €310/€380 for a medium day, €340/€440 for a long day.
Worked Example: Building a Private Ride
Say a group of four wants the Signature Mallorca Bike Tour's route — 430 km, 4,610 m of climbing across seven days — but two riders want to do it on e-bikes while the other two stay on road bikes, and everyone wants one dedicated guide day around Sa Calobra rather than riding it as part of the group pace. That's a normal request on a bespoke tour: the base itinerary stays the same, two Domane+ SLR e-bikes replace two road bike rentals, and one medium guide day (€310-380) is added around the Sa Calobra descent. Nothing about that requires a different tour — it's the same Signature Tour, adjusted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is every Medfeel tour private, or just some of them?
Only some tours are private by default. Four of the six Mallorca itineraries — the Weekend Cycling Escape, Classic Bike Short Tour, Signature Mallorca Bike Tour, and Epic Island Cycling Loop — are bespoke, private tours booked on your own dates, just for your group. The other two, the Easygoing E-Bike Tour and the Tramuntana Luxury Ride, run as scheduled group departures that other riders can join. If you want a fully private version of one of these, that can often be arranged on request — ask a Medfeel Travel Agent when you share your dates.
What exactly is a "private" or "bespoke" cycling tour?
A bespoke cycling tour is built around your group's:
- Dates — you choose when to start and finish.
- Pace and level — daily distances and climbing tuned to your fitness.
- Route preferences — emphasis on certain climbs, regions, or types of roads.
- Hotel style — from sport-friendly 4-star to luxury 5-star and boutique properties.
You travel with your own Ride Leader and support, without being merged with other groups. The itinerary is based on routes Medfeel's guides know well, but it's adapted to your goals rather than a fixed calendar.
Which Mallorca tours are available as private, bespoke trips?
Four tours are private by default and can be tailored to your group:
- Weekend Cycling Escape — 3 days, 2 riding days, one hotel base on the north coast.
- Classic Bike Short Tour — 5 days, 3 riding days, two hotel bases, includes Puig Major.
- Signature Mallorca Bike Tour — 7 days, 5 riding days, three hotel bases, a full Tramuntana loop with Sa Calobra, Puig Major, Formentor, and the west coast.
- Epic Island Cycling Loop — 8 days, 6 riding days, multiple bases, a full-island loop for experienced riders.
The Easygoing E-Bike Tour and Tramuntana Luxury Ride are primarily scheduled group departures, but private versions can often be created on request if you have your own dates and group.
Can I change the route on a private tour?
Yes. The base route uses roads and climbs our Ride Leaders know well, but for bespoke tours you can adjust:
- Daily distance and climbing — shorter or longer days, more or less elevation.
- Specific climbs — for example, building a day around Sa Calobra, Puig Major, or Cap de Formentor.
- Start/finish locations — within logistical limits (airports, hotel regions).
- Rest days and optional rides — adding recovery days or extra loops.
Changes are easiest when they keep the overall structure — hotel bases, transfer logic — similar. More complex rewrites can affect pricing and logistics, but route tailoring is a core feature of a bespoke tour.
Can some riders in the group use e-bikes while others use road bikes on the same private tour?
Yes — this is one of the most common bespoke requests.
- The itinerary stays the same for everyone.
- Some riders use road bikes, others use e-bikes (Trek Domane+ SLR, for example).
- Daily routes can offer optional shortcuts or extensions, so stronger riders can add extra climbing while others keep to the core route.
This works especially well for groups with different fitness levels, or for couples and friends who want to ride together without anyone feeling dropped or held back.
Do I need a minimum group size to book a bespoke tour?
Bespoke tours are designed for solo travelers, couples, and small groups of friends, not only large groups.
- Many private trips run with 2-8 riders.
- Solo travelers can often book a bespoke tour individually, sometimes with a single-supplement style adjustment.
- Exact minimums and pricing can vary by season and itinerary, so it's best to check current minimums with a Medfeel Travel Agent when you share your dates and preferred tour.
How does a dedicated guide day work on a private tour?
On any of the four bespoke itineraries, you can add a dedicated guide day, where a Ride Leader focuses solely on your group for the entire day rather than shared support across multiple groups. This is useful for:
- More personalized pacing and on-road coaching.
- Custom detours, photo stops, and café choices decided in real time.
- Extra support on technically demanding days — big descents, long climbs.
These days are added on top of the base tour and priced by length: €280/€320 (double/single occupancy) for a short day, €310/€380 for a medium day, and €340/€440 for a long day.
What's the price range for a private Mallorca cycling tour?
Private tour pricing depends on:
- Duration (3, 5, 7, or 8 days).
- Itinerary — number of hotel bases and transfers.
- Hotel category — 4-star, 5-star, boutique, or luxury.
- Bike type — road bike or e-bike.
- Add-ons — extra guide days, private vehicle, special experiences.
As a reference, Medfeel's bespoke Mallorca tours span from €950 for the 3-day Weekend Cycling Escape up to €5,850 for the 8-day Epic Island Cycling Loop, before any add-ons. For an exact quote, share your dates, group size, hotel preferences, and bike mix with a Medfeel Travel Agent.
Can I request a completely custom tour, outside your published itineraries?
Yes. Beyond tailoring the existing tours, Medfeel can design a fully custom private cycling tour from scratch, based on:
- Your preferred dates and duration.
- The regions and climbs you most want to ride — only the Tramuntana, say, or a full island loop including the east and interior.
- Your desired hotel style and budget.
- Any special requests — golf days, gastronomic experiences, partner rides, corporate retreats, and more.
To explore a custom trip that isn't directly covered by the published tours, get in touch through Medfeel's custom trip request form.
How do I start planning a private cycling tour in Mallorca?
- Choose your ideal duration (3, 5, 7, or 8 days) based on how much you want to ride and which climbs matter most to you.
- Decide your group — solo, couple, friends, club group — and approximate fitness levels.
- Pick a base tour (Weekend Escape, Classic Short, Signature, Epic Loop) as a starting skeleton, or decide you want a fully custom route.
- Share your dates and preferences — must-ride climbs, hotel style, e-bike vs. road, rest days — with a Medfeel Travel Agent.
