What Makes us so Special?

Focus on Culture. 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.

Group Size. The trips are small and personal. Each trip has no more than nine 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.

Affordable. Our trips are affordable. We want those with a desire to travel, to be able to. Piccolina's mission is not only to create enriching, fun trips, but to keep them affordable as well. Our trips are nearly twice as long and half the price of other bike tour operators. Hooray! (That makes them about 75% cheaper.)

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.
