What is Golden Tours?

Dreaming of gravel riding? Let us make the arrangements for you. Golden Tours is now offering first-class trips, travel planning services and guidance in Girona.

We are Roope and Jay, two riding buddies who bonded over our love of gravel, good food and riding with friends in Girona. One day over a post ride cold beer we decided that we want to bring that experience and all that Girona has to offer to more people.

With our established industry connections and cycling experience, we can offer unique travel experiences that you just can’t find anywhere else. We’re here to make your cycling vacation as seamless, relaxing and fun as possible.

Meet the Team

Jay McCarthy

Jay, originally from Australia, has been living in Europe for 12 years of which the majority was spent racing in the pro peloton. After retiring from the pro road peloton due to injury, Jay enjoyed some time away from cycling. Gravel riding made him rediscover his passion for cycling while exploring and discovering a whole new side of his old training grounds in Girona. He can’t wait to share the trails, racing stories and cold post-ride beers with you!

Roope Nurmi

A lifelong cyclist from Finland with worldwide racing experience, now focused on supporting other riders as a bike mechanic. He has swapped the chillier climate of Finland for the warmer weather of Girona, enjoying cycling culture and breathtaking routes with his friends and family. Roope wants to share and enjoy the best gravel in the region with you.
