Here is what our clients say about this tour………
My experience with the Italy Bike Tour was sensational. I usually do the bike trips by myself. But having their experience with everything, with the service, with the support, with hotel, with meal, mainly the translate to airport, with all the help and entrances to VIP areas was different. I felt calm enough to focus on what I needed, THE GRANFONDO itself!!! The team was very attentive, very committed, all the members were super nice to me. As a result, I was able to do what I love most, cycling, with pleasure and without any problems. I really recommend the Italy Bike Tour to everyone, and I will come back soon.
