The nuts and Bolts

Useful information about your holiday

Still Undecided?

My husband is a much stronger cyclist than what I am. To have been able to go out and cycle with the peace of mind that I was being looked after if anything went wrong was a huge plus for me. My husband could go out and enjoy his cycle and not have to worry about me. Being in the slower group made no difference at all, we were all treated the same and felt just as proud on completing our cycle. Being this close to the Giro d'Ítalia was a very special experience. The guides were kind, caring, helpful and very encouraging. Clive runs a very well-organized tour, the bikes were brilliantly maintained and if you had any problems Matt was there to assist and sort it out for you. Thank you Italy Bike Tours for a wonderful experience and we will hopefully see you again for the next one!
