Italy and France are two of the world’s top cycling venues

We are experts at private custom cycle tours from beginner to expert, small and large groups, guided or self guided. We can customize a cycle adventure anywhere in Italy and the South of France.

 

Rather tour on your own?  Choose one of our self guided adventures including lodgings, luggage transfers, activity stops with detailed routes & maps.

 

We will even prepare your routes & elevation profiles via your Garmin computer so you can train for the famous rolling hills of Chianti before you arrive.

 

What is our secret? We live, train and ride in Italy. We are not a foreign company selling tour packages.

 

Cycling is part of our life and who we are as an organization. Go foward for samples of our most popular cycle tours.
