Step 1
Determine whether you have the time to go as the race lasts almost the entire month of July.
-
Step 2
Find the package that is right for you. There are many companies offering trips focused on the Tour de France. You can contact a travel agent, but your best bet is to troll around the Internet to find companies offering these trips. Type in search terms such as “Tour de France vacation” or “Tour de France trip” and you will get many returns.
-
Step 3
Decide if you want to ride the tour route or drive it. The best way to see the tour is to ride the route on a bike, but not everyone is strong enough to do so. The alternative is to use other forms of transportation, such as Europe’s excellent rail and road networks. Some tour companies will use trains while others will use buses. No matter what you are looking for there is a tour group out there for you.

Step 4
Book your spot on a trip and pay for it. These trips are not cheap and many of them fill up quickly. Reserve your place as early as possible.
-
Step 5
Get your affairs in order. A trip that covers the entire race route is going to last nearly a month and take you through several countries.
-
Step 6
Go on the trip. Enjoy seeing this great sporting event and experiencing at least twenty different European towns and cities. Bring money!
