What Makes us so Special?
Real Experiences with Real People. Our trips are more than just bike tours. They are explorations of a region's unique culture and how real life is lived there. We meet local people, learn how they cook and live, attend their fairs & parades, explore their particular history, we visit local artisans and learn about those arts.
Small Groups. The trips are small and personal. Each trip has no more than twelve travelers. In such a small group, the guide can attend to the travelers' individual needs and interests, and by the end, hopefully, can become closer friends as well.
So Affordable. Whew! Finally. Bike riding, great cuisine, charming accomodation and small groups at a realisticly afffordable cost! Part of our mission is to allow those with a desire to travel, to be able to. So we try to keep things affordable. Our trips are nearly twice as long and half the price of other bike tour operators. (That makes them about 75% cheaper.) Hooray!
Extensive Local Knowledge. Our guide speaks fluent Italian and has spent a lot of time living, exploring and talking to the people in the regions we visit. She has crafted the itineraries from her own experience. We visit places most tourists would never see. Whether it's picnicing under a beloved ancient oak, dinner at a farmer's house, or a ride to the area's most dazzling piece of coast, we wish to show you the very best that the region has to offer.
