best italy bike tours 

  A terrific Dolomites tour (custom itinerary) was arranged by Luca and his team for our group of 7 riders. Absolutely fabulous, from beginning to end. The attention... read more to detail, the constant support, the deep knowledge of the area, of the routes, the hotels and eating establishments were unparalleled. I have been on numerous cycling tours in Europe and the performance of this group far exceeds all of them. They have a genuine love of the area, a joy of cycling, and a commitment to make sure the client is safe, fully and constantly supported and getting the maximum enjoyment from the cycling. Our group had varied skills, and route options, and Richi and his team expertly adjusted their plans daily/hourly, to make sure all of us had perfect coverage. I would unhesitatingly recommend Luca, Richi, and their team for a cycling vacation. I am surely planning a return trip with them. Thank you Luca, thank you Richi for an unforgettable trip.

  Wonderful routes, places, flexibility, attitude and service! Just can't say enough good things about how much fun it was to travel with Ricci and Nicolo. They... read more are serious cyclists, know the routes, know the local places, and know what you need to comfortably stretch your cycling experience - if that's what you want. Ours was a custom tour with riders of varying ability and ambition, and the support was amazing. Various riders did different segments and they were always where we needed them. Highly recommended!

  Amazing Coast to Coast ride and touring in Italy 842727265 Our experience with Road Bike Tours Italy was fantastic. The tour was excellently organized. The tour host rider,... read more Nicola, and the tour host Van driver, Niccolo, were wonderful. They anticipated our every need, always had the van available for rest stops, helped us with bicycle maintenance and ebike battery charging, and modified the general tour itinerary to allow us to visit spots spontaneously. They were the best tour guides that we have ever had on any trip (biking or hiking) over the last 25 year period! One very nice amenity of Road Bike Tours Italy is that they have a van constantly available for guests that can fit all the guests and bicycles in it. This is especially nice when it rains. No one is forced to stay on the bike in the event of wet, wind, and cold....unless the riders want to be in the weather. We started near Pisa on the Mediterranean and ended up in Senigallia on the Adriatic for a wonderful Coast to Coast tour of Italy through Tuscany, Umbria, and Il Marche. The ride takes you to all the wonderful medieval towns in Tuscany and Umbria - Volterra, Siena, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Assisi - then through rolling hills, vineyards, and orchards into the two days of mountain climbs and alpine plateaus crossing over the Apennines. Although the mountain climbs were challenging, the high alpine plateau was magnificent. Once over the Apennines, the descent to the Adriatic coast is only a half day ride and you are at the beach! The hotels were excellent and almost everyone of them had swimming pools, which was nice after a day of riding. The food was good and representative of each region we passed through. We knew of a restaurant in Assisi that we wanted to go to and the guides were able to make reservations there, so the flexibility and spontaneity was delightful. The availability to use ebikes makes it possible for any age rider to participate. Our group was aged 66 - 70 years. If you want a unique bike trip with amazing towns, countryside, informed guides and food unique to the region, you should consider this trip.

The tour was brilliant! Great cycling with wonderful views and a few challenging hills! Beautiful villages to see along the way and the most amazing restaurants for our evening meals.

We really appreciated the time Luca and Richi must’ve spent picking out each hotel and restaurant because they were all so special.

The tours offered by these guys aren’t just about the cycling, they are great holidays with enjoyable cycling experiences that just make you want to do them again!

Loved every minute Luca and Richi, looking forward to the next trip already!

This is my second cycling trip to Italy, with the last trip having been with a different company in Piedmont. I based my decision this time based on their website and by talking to Luca by email, and was really glad I chose them.
Not only are they expert cyclists, they are also expert hosts that are great ambassadors for Italy.
Starting in Sienna, we were expertly set up on the Giant TCR2 rental bikes by Richi, who is passionate with maintaining his bikes in top condition. Luca and Richi have obviously spent a lot of effort choosing the best riding routes and hotels, but they don’t really mention how amazing the food is as well - each day their choice of restaurants and cafe stops was outstanding, ranging from organic farm-stay to fine dining and every meal was hugely memorable with great company as well. Great coffee and gelato stops too, of course.
Tuscany is an awesome place for road cycling, so peaceful and beautiful with little villages that are hard to believe are real - almost like a movie set at times.
I should also mention they will provide a great set of photos at the end of the trip to help remember all the beautiful places visited.
Do not hesitate to book a trip with these guys, it will be like you are cycling with old friends and will be worth every cent.
Thanks Luca and Richi!
