Italy · 8 days
The tours are self-guided by default: you get detailed maps, route descriptions and travel documents covering culture, food and the region you are riding through, and you follow the route yourself. An introductory meeting at the start explains the itinerary and the details of the tour. Luggage is transferred to your next hotel each day, so you ride with only what you need.
Routes are reviewed every year. The range runs from transalpine crossings such as Innsbruck to Bolzano and Bolzano to Venice, to lake circuits around Lake Garda and Lake Resia, to wine-country riding in Veneto and Piedmont, to longer point-to-point trips like Florence to Rome and Torino to Sanremo. Sicily and Sardinia tours cover the islands, and the bike-and-boat options (Mantua to Venice on the MS Ave Maria or MS Vita Pugna) let you keep the same cabin all week.
Accommodation is picked for its suitability for cyclists and for somewhere to relax in the evening. The 'with charm' tours step up to more comfortable properties. On original tours, a team member meets you at the arrival destination and is available locally for recommendations.
Family tours use well-developed cycle paths suitable for younger riders, with the Adige cycle path and South Tyrol among the options. The company also publishes practical information on Italian climate and regional cuisine, and notes that helmets are strongly recommended even though they are not legally required in Italy.
