Bespoke planning can accommodate a variety of fitness levels and personal interests, whether you’re a daily cyclist, leisure pedaler or a pro. There’s even a selection of cycling equipment to choose from that includes classic and hybrid road bikes, electric e-bikes, tandems and tagalongs.

“We are excited to introduce these new self-guided cycling trips in Italy, which offer a new way… to experience the beauty and culture of this incredible country,” said Maria Elena Price, co- owner, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “These trips… allow each member of the group to enjoy the journey on their own terms, with riders often choosing different daily distances and difficulties — while some may opt to break for a leisurely lunch, riders seeking big climbs and longer days can take advantage of those options. The Dolomites, in particular, offer options where those with bigger appetites can taste the thrill of accomplishing a big climb.”

Tours to choose from include Cycling Cortona to Siena, which takes in Southern Tuscany’s UNESCO World Heritage Landscape; the Heartland of Italy’s Homemade Pasta tour, exploring Medici family history and the Renaissance town of Terra del Sole in the Romagna region; the Taste of Italy culinary adventure to learn the secrets of creating Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar; a Cortina to Bolzano tour to experience South Tyrolean culture and the legendary Dolomites; exploring medieval villages on Umbria – Cycling the Green Heart of Italy; and cycling winding paths through the villages in Italy’s stunning lakes region on the Italy’s Alpine Valleys – Sud Tyrol, Lake Garda and Verona tour.
