Enlighten the senses
Italy bike tours.
Of all European countries, none draws visitors over and over again like Italy. A peninsula extending into the Mediterranean Sea, Italy consists of 21 diverse regions of villages and picturesque towns set amidst rolling hills, vineyards, mountains, lakes, cliffs and islands.
Each region has its unique charm, but all share the “Italian” view that life should be taken at a slow pace with time to enjoy conversation, food and drink.
Together, Italy’s regions boast the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. Packed with historical treasures, Italy’s cycling tours allow visitors to indulge in the spectacular natural landscape.
“The area was absolutely wonderful... just one adventure after another going through the small villages and beautiful towns.”
