★★★★★

The 12 Day Giro Trip was unforgettable!! Full immersion into Italian 🇮🇹 culture! The people, the places, the food, the coffee stops, and the cycling - stupendous! Behind the name “Italian Bike Tours” are a group of people (guides, mechanics, and owners) who really do care about your experience. IBT has captured the concept of “hospitality” and my wife and I had an absolute “ball” on our Giro d’Italia adventure!

Had an incredible experience during the second week of the Giro d’Italia. Every day brought a unique and unforgettable experience, with the final VIP day, it truly took it to another level. Fausto and the entire IBT team Lorenzo, Marco, Giacomo and Anita made this a trip to remember. Their passion, organization, and hospitality were outstanding from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the Giro in a special way.

Alex Review
Alex | Giro Last 12 Days May 2026
★★★★★

I just returned from the 2026 Last 12 Days of the Giro trip. I had high expectations and they were exceeded in every way. The riding was great. The guides were excellent. The complicated logistics were handled so well they appeared to be effortless. (They are anything but.) An excellent mix of riding, race watching and soaking up all that Italy offers. The food was fabulous, the coffee stops plentiful and the bikes were pampered as much as the riders. For the price charged this trip was a tremendous value. Can’t wait to join you again soon.

Gabriel Review
Gabriel | Giro Third Week May 2026
★★★★★

Our IBT Giro week exceeded our expectations in every way - start to finish! My husband rode and I was a non-rider and we both had a fabulous time. The entire team is top notch, all of them work extremely hard and have fun doing it. I enjoyed my non-rider hours with Anita and Erica, both wonderful humans. Our leader, Ivan, did such a great job keeping us organized, on time, and happy. Lorenzo, Michele, and Jack were also integral in making our 7 days magical. Stefano took amazing photos and video of it all. Our fellow attendees are now our friends forever. This was one of those trips where it was hard to say goodbye; so we'll say, see you soon! A presto amici!

Darcy Review
Darcy | Giro First Week May 2026
★★★★★

Favoloso… Straordinario… Incredibilmente bello… semplicemente 10 giorni fantastici in bicicletta, percorrendo le prime 8 tappe del Giro. Italy Bike Tours è un'organizzazione di prim'ordine. La nostra guida principale, Nicola, è stata flessibile e divertente, tenendoci sempre di buon umore. Il suo staff di supporto: Lorenzo, Davide, Stefano, Michela, Anita e Ivan, si sono dimostrati competenti e disponibili in ogni aspetto del viaggio. Il loro amore per l'Italia e per il ciclismo era evidente ogni giorno. Un ringraziamento speciale a Luca, la mia "super" guida per la tappa 4. Molto disponibile e sempre incoraggiante. Consiglio vivamente Italy Bike Tours a chiunque cerchi un modo attivo, coinvolgente e indimenticabile per vivere l'Italia.

Erin | Giro Second Week May 2026
★★★★★

We had a massively positive experience with IBT for the Giro d’Italia 2026. Everything exceeded our expectations - the rides, the support & amazing staff, the hotels, the transportation, the food and entertainment. Not only was the rider experience great, but the non-rider experience was also terrific, well considered, and pure fun (grazie Anita!). This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We can’t wait to tour with Fausto and the IBT again soon.
