⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recently I spent an incredible 5 days on the Giro Italia tour. Alberto and his team were fabulous in putting together a wonderful trip. The choice of accommodation, food and routes were perfect. Thank you to Matt, the great story teller, Nico, Pavel and Christian our expert and very patient guides, Lucy for the roadside coffees and fabulous buffet on Mortirolo, Lorenzo for the great photos and Angelo for the roadside support. I cannot wait to book my trip for next year.
