Slovenia completely exceeded our expectations. Riding through Triglav and around Lake Bled was spectacular, and the Postojna Caves were an incredible addition to the trip.
I had an amazing experience with Italy Bike Tour! Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making the entire trip completely stress-free. A special thank you to Pavel, who was an outstanding guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always made sure everyone had a great experience on and off the bike. The entire team was incredibly friendly, supportive, and passionate about cycling. Riding through the Dolomites was unforgettable, and the excellent organization allowed us to focus on enjoying every climb, descent, and breathtaking view. I highly recommend Italy Bike Tour to anyone looking for a world-class cycling experience in Italy. I’ll definitely be back!
Our tour in June with IBT was excellent. The timely and informative pretour correspondence from the team gave us confidence and we were rewarded with a great support driver Simone and bike guide Matteo.
What a fantastic experience made easy with IBT, tour guides didn’t let me down with rides, support local knowledge and all aspects of the tour. Highly recommended and I will rebook my next tour with the team for 2027! Thanks guys.
I recently had the great pleasure of doing IBT Tour. Ivan, Jack and Luca from ITB were first class in the way they looked after us both on and off the bike. Great riding, great accommodation and great food!! I highly recommend IBT!!
We are very happy to have found a company that values its employees. We were treated like family, and that is extremely important. The boys are extremely polite and attentive. At all times, they prioritized our safety and comfort, which is of utmost importance. These were days of accomplishments, thanks to the choice of tours and the guarantee of success. It was truly worth the time and money invested. Boys, we love you!!!! Jack and Simone are fully qualified for the position.
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.
