Rome to Florence Off Road
The ride starts beside the Colosseum and ends in Piazza della Signoria. On the way: the Via Francigena, Etruscan sunken roads, forest tracks, trails and the Strade Bianche, the white roads of Tuscany. Eight stages, about 620 km and 12,000 m of climbing, with nights in farm-stays and small hotels. In September, now in its 6th edition.
Asiago WWI Heritage Tour
Five days on the Asiago Plateau, among high pastures, war roads and forts: the Sacrario of Asiago, Forte Lisser, the switchbacks to Cima Portule, Monte Verena, Forte Campolongo and Monte Cengio. About 253 km, mostly from the Col del Sole bike hotel, in June.
Which one is for me?
- A point-to-point journey through Italy: Rome to Florence. It is challenging: around 1,500 m of climbing a day and four to seven hours in the saddle.
- Mountains and history, from one base: Asiago, rated medium, with most nights at the same bike hotel.
What riders say
5.0 67 reviews on GoogleLogistics in some countries are complicated for many reasons, but the organization of the Mongolia trip was impeccable. I think I'll rely on the same agency for other tours around the world.
I don't know any company that does this kind of trip better. The trip design, the time together, the planning: perfect. I've already done 5 trips with them. Oh, and the guides are a 10!
True adventure cycling. Going to places one would likely never go on one’s own, in a way that means facing real rather than contrived challenges, but with professionalism and support of the highest standard.
