Bike Express do an interesting idea – they pick you up at any of a number of uk pick up points (our nearest would be Potters Bar on the M25), and take you to any of a number of destinations in the mediterranean area. You travel by coach with a large trailer behind towing the bikes. You can roll your own trip, picking your own times and outbound/return journey, and your return can be from a different place, allowing you to do a non-circular cycling trip. There are quite a few destinations but they are mostly in France and Spain.

Train is another option, but having looked at Europe travel by train, a tandem is a problem. It would need to be splittable, something you can do with a Thorn tandem which has couplings on the tubes so it becomes the size of a solo bike (or perhaps more like 2 solo bikes). See here for more details about ‘training’ it with a bike.
