12/07/2005 - Custom Getaways is proud to announce that we have been appointed Official Tour Operator by the Tour Organizers. This comes as a recognition of our many years of experience at the Tour de France and provides reassurance that you have made the right choice by going with an officially appointed Tour Operator. Because of our status, some of our trips can offer:

• All access accreditations to VIP Zones, all Tour Sponsors and Riders in the Start Village and Finish Areas.
• All access accreditations to VIP Grandstands at appointed stages.
• Riding an entire stage or final portion of a stage (depending on the difficulty of the stage) on the SAME DAY as the pros! This has never been done before and is only available through licensed Tour de France Operators! Includes exclusive photos afterwards on Tour Podium! This is even better than the Etape du Tour!
• All access accreditations to Press Area and Technical Zones to meet all your favorite broadcasters, TV personalities, and announcers.
• Meeting Tour Champions and Legends from the past 5 decades.
• Discounts at the Tour de France official store and boutiques.

Today, there are so many companies putting together cycling holidays to the Tour de France.
