Cycling & Multi-Activity

Italy on two wheels

A bicycle changes the scale of a landscape. What takes an hour by car takes a morning on a bike, and that morning becomes the point. The vineyards of Chianti, the olive groves of Apulia, the lake shores of Como and Garda, the Prosecco hills of Veneto: these are landscapes made for cycling.

Italy Explore designs cycling tours that use the road as a way of reading the territory, with guides who know every climb, every shortcut, and every producer worth stopping for.

Matched to your group, built around the ride

We design cycling programmes for all levels, from easy flat routes on converted railway lines to serious climbs in the Alps and Dolomites. Every itinerary is built around the group’s fitness and experience, with support vehicles on longer routes, e-bike options where appropriate, and cultural stops that give the day a shape beyond the kilometres.
