The tour starts with an airport pickup and a transfer to the hotel in Cala Millor, where you check in and get your bike fitted before the first day's riding. From there the route works anticlockwise around the island, so you see the east coast, the north, the Tramuntana mountains and the south-west over four consecutive days.

Day two is the longest at 120km with 1,300m of climbing. You leave Cala Millor on quiet country roads towards Arta, follow the coast up to Port de Alcudia, then climb over Port de Pollenca to Cap de Formentor. After lunch back at Port de Pollenca there's the climb of Victoria, then a night in Port de Pollenca. Day three is shorter at 85km but steeper in character: up to Lluc, over to Sa Calobra for the climb, then a coffee and cake stop before the climb to Puig Major and the long 14km descent into Soller, where you stay at Port de Soller.

Day four heads for the west coast with 125km and 1,800m of climbing, dropping down to Port de Andratx for lunch, then through Paguera, past Santa Ponsa and Palma Nova, into Palma past the cathedral and marina, finishing at Can Pastilla. Day five is 95km and 1,025m: the climb to Cura (5km, steep, with coffee at the top), then Campas Santany, up the east coast through Porto Cristo and back to Cala Millor.

The guide rides with the group throughout, and the backup vehicle is with you at all times. The operator notes that every climb on the island tour is optional each day, so you can sit out a climb and rejoin the route. Luggage is transferred to each hotel, and water and snacks are provided on the road.
