The Tour de France, Told by the People Who Lived It

Every brochure promises "inside access." Our guests lived it. Here’s what they remember from their time on the road with Mummu Cycling—and what you can expect in 2026.


Real access, not fences

“We had enough access to the Tour and the riders that we felt almost like we were doing the Tour de France and not just spectators.” — Scott Jensen, Tour des Vins

“Exclusive access to start and finish lines including a couple of really tough mountain stages… hospitality second to none.” — Scott Petrie, Pyrenees Pro Experience

Ride your own Tour (or don’t)

“Mummu enabled me to ride to my capability limit and then kindly gave me a lift to catch up to the group… I enjoyed the cycling on my own terms without feeling pressured to keep up with the ‘real’ riders.” — JC Walsh, Tour des Vins

“Fantastic riding; we rode Hautacam, Soulor, Tourmalet and Luz-Ardiden among others… simply awesome routes and scenery.” — Mike Sumner, Pyrenees Ride

Hosted by people who built the legend

“Marcel, Stuart, Liam, Cedric, and Emily are each, in their own right, exceptional people; and as a team, simply incredible.” — JC Walsh, Tour des Vins

“Stuart O’Grady is part of the fabric of the Tour de France… we had access to former riders, the current peloton and behind-the-scenes areas that no-one could or should have expected.” — Tim Longwill, Tour des Vins

Hospitality that feels personal

“Beginning with our visit to Caveau Humbrecht and ending with our final dinner at Les Jardins de Sophie, we were impressed with the quality of food, wine and service.” — Helen Longwill, Tour des Vins

“It was great: hospitality, finish line, podium and some funny moments with the group of riders and the staff. I hope to do it again!” — Brice Geisler, Pyrenees One-Day Experience

Why people come back

“We knew we were in the hands of professionals committed to their mission… They delivered a return on our investment.” — JC Walsh, Tour des Vins

“Our expectations were exceeded in every way… we are still pinching ourselves.” — Julie Worthington, Grand Depart

“Great organisation and an unforgettable event. Met lovely people and had a fantastic time.” — Amir Ghahremani, Paris Weekender
