Dolomites Lake Garda Venice ride A great ride from the Austrian influence in the Dolomites, a boat trip the length of Lake Garda then passing through famous towns of Verona & Padua to the delights of Venice at the end. Good riding mainly on cycle paths & small local roads surrounded by beautiful scenery. Great stops for coffee & lunch in local bars & restaurants. We also benefited from having our excellent guide Michele who had excellent knowledge of the countryside, geology, architecture, history & ofcourse food & wines. Reasonable distances covered each day but very manageable as not too hilly. Would highly recommend
We really enjoyed our evening with Alfredo, we thought he was extremely knowledgeable. It was great to sample lots of different Sicilian dishes in on e evening. We would recommend the tour. We look forward to returning in the future.
A great Italian cycling experience Whilst this trip was our first with this tour operator we were unsure of what to expect in terms of cycling difficulty, organisation, hotels and group dynamics. We need not have worried!! This guided trip was maybe very slightly more challenging than we expected due to hotter weather than normal in September, however the leadership dealt with these conditions well allowing the whole group to complete a rewarding week. The over night stays allowed us to experience a range of accommodation including a night in a Trulli house and all were clean and tidy. For us, one of the highlights was the group we met and spent time with. We got to know some great people along the way - chatting on route and over evening meals (although this is not compulsory!)
