An epic, and for me super challenging week cycling non elec bikes over the rolling Tuscan hills - 360km and 5,675m climb! Matteo is an excellent and patient guide aided by Andrea on water van duty. Great company, super food and left feeling super satisfied on this our second tour. Looking forward to next year!
We had a fantastic week riding with Stefano, Marco & Alby around the Lakes Surrounding Como. These guys were exceptional & made every day enjoyable. Thank you so much for giving us an unforgettable experience.
Italy Bike Tours have delivered another outstanding cycling tour to 6 of us from Australia. This was the Luxury lakes & vineyards tour. Our guides and support personnel were Stefano, Marco and Alberto. The team from IBT are incredibly professional, supportive of people attending, with different fitness levels and abilities, flexible to support the people in the group. They took us to beautiful locations including lake Garda, Iseo, Como, wineries, coffee roasting factory and restaurants. This is my second tour with IBT and once again I thank the whole IBT team for their amazing work and giving us life long memories from our week with you.
We had an exceptionally enjoyable cycle tour with Christian (guide) and Marco (support) through the Italian Northern Lakes. We were well looked after and found the various daily biking routes varied and scenic. The final day's bike to the Ghisallo Cycling Museum was a highlight and a great way to complete the tour. The range of accommodation and location of the various hotels was well planned as well as the wine tasting, coffee sampling and dinners out all added to the experience. Well done Italy Bike Tours.
It was wonderful trip. A great balance between riding a relaxing. Our group was a mix of experienced and novice riders. At all times the tour guides made us all feel like we were Giro d' Italia athletes. They were great coaches, improving our riding, encouraging us up the hills and educating us about the history and culture of the cities and towns we rode through. The bikes were excellent and time was spent adjusting them to each rider. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable, clean with great breakfasts. Definitely would look to book with them again.
