CIAO!

authentic italian experience, both on and off the bike ...

Our trips to Italy are more than just a cycling tour; they're an experience for the culinary senses as well. We put as much effort into sourcing the best hotel and dining locations as we do the best riding in each region which is why our tours are perfect for the those wanting a complete cultural experience alongside a great group of people sharing every amazing moment with you.

ACCOMMODATION

Our tours in Italy are as far removed from a 'mates rates' trip as a trip can get. Our hotels and chalets offer all the creature comforts while providing top facilities for cyclists and non riders alike. Most of our hotels are family run businesses whom we have been staying with for many years, carefully chosen for their location both to the centre of the towns as well as easy access to the local riding, washing machines, bike garages and on site bars.
FULLY SUPPORTED
All our tours are fully supported with Velo Tours' riders on the road and vans stocked with food & water so you can call it a day at any time.
General Information
Locations: Lakes, Alps, Dolomites & more
Our tours are tailor made to experience everything on a travelling cyclist's wish list. You will eat like a king or queen, stay in some beautiful hotels & chalets and ride some of the most scenic roads and challenge climbs in world cycling.
Tour durations: 11 - 14 days
With so many stunning sights to see and famous climbs to conquer we think it's vital to stay multiple nights in each location to ensure we capture the best cycling and food experiences the region has to offer. Our tours therefore run between 12 - 14 days.
Time of Year: May & June & August
The European summer begins on June 1 and is also the date the Stelvio Pass usually opens, but the temperatures down at sea level can still reach the high 20s to low 30s so touring in Italy is ideal throughout May and June.
