Blue Marble’s trips are different from those operated by “luxury” or “deluxe” operators, such as Butterfield & Robinson, Backroads, Ciclismo Classico, or Bikeriders Tours.  For starters, they are half the price.  But perhaps more importantly, they are small, loosely-structured, and individualistic.  The group, such as it is, provides as much company as you desire.  And the people with whom you share your experiences are a diverse and interesting bunch. 

But you are no more a part of a collective than you want to be:  you are free to go off on your own at all times, including even for the included meals.  And your fellow travellers do not replace contact with the people who live in the places to which you travel. 

Which brings us back to price:  we travel at an economic level in keeping with the one you observe around you.  We shun the palaces and private coaches that isolate you from the local population.  No doubt as a result, our trips are peopled by fun, entertaining, easy-going travellers, curious about and open to their surroundings.  You!
