You want to travel. You hear about the various tour operators and it isn't necessarily obvious the differences between the options you have. Research is time-consuming and you need a vacation but not more work in order to make that vacation happen.

Listen to those who've been there & read the latest testimonials (we have pages of them, but these are the ones that have arrived from our most recent trips). Ciclismo has a high standard to which we hold each of our tours. Our guides are phenomenal, off-the-charts and continue to always set the bar higher. No rating system can describe them.

Call us, we'll help you decide what tour is best for you and get you on your way to a fine and fabulous fall trip! 1-800-866-7314

"I cannot say enough good things about this entire experience. The trip was fabulous! It was extremely well-organized and the guides were fantastic. They really made the whole trip. Their passion for the sport and the country was infectious. I have already forwarded the Ciclismo web link to many of my friends."

"I wanted to let you know that I had a fabulous time on my trip. Federica and Isacco were beyond wonderful. Isacco kept us entertained with his quick wit and knowledge of the wines we drank. Federica supplied an abundance of information about the food of the area as well as the history. Both offered tips that helped me improve as a cyclist. Now I am conquering the hills in the Bay Area!

I am looking forward to my next Ciclismo trip!"

Maratona tour, in Dolomites

"Now that our trip is over, I would like to thank you and all the team at Ciclismo Classico for an incredible experience.

Enrico and Massimo, as always, were great and everything went on flawless.

The organization, structure, rides,  hotels and meals where wonderfull and all the Venezuela group enjoyed very much.

Thank's again for everything..." - Abraham, Maratona of the Dolomites, 2011


Piedmont, gelato eating

"Just wanted to send our many compliments for the fantastic tour experience we had on our Ciclismo trip.  We've been telling everyone we know since we returned home about what a great operation you run and what a quality experience a Ciclismo trip is.  Needless to say, we LOVED our tour.

I also wanted to specifically highlight our two guides- Dylan and Enrico, who I thought were just superb.  Throughout the entire trip, not only were they professionals at every moment, but they were very creative and were great problem-solvers.  Enrico's local knowledge of Piedmont was a treat and added so much to the experience for all of the guests.  Dylan's calm demeanor and great patience with everyone was much appreciated when it came to biking difficulties.  They were both obviously working really hard to ensure that the trip was seamless and they succeeded.  We were delighted with both of them as trip guides. 

All in all, the tiny villages, the local restaurants, the unbelievable food and wine and the spectacular scenery are a testament to the scouting and preparation that must have gone into this trip. 

Thank you so much for such a wonderful trip and we will absolutely recommend Ciclismo to everyone we know!"

To change your default trip level please select a new level from the list below.

All Levels

You’re potentially interested in any level of trip and don't want your site experience tailored to any specific level.

Easy

You’re new to biking, or you just want to take it easy with lots of stops to take pictures and explore and no one hurrying you along. Expect a leisurely pace over generally flat terrain.

Average distance per day: 18-35 miles.

Athletic Beginner

You’re not a fanatical rider, but you exercise regularly and enjoy a leisurely day’s spin on your bike. You might want to graduate to “intermediate” one day, or not. The pace is relaxed but the terrain gently rolling, more ups and downs, more vistas and valleys than Easy tours.

Average distance per day: 35-45 miles.

Intermediate

You’re active on your days off, and recreational biking is most likely your weekend sport of choice. You love to ride and it shows in your endurance and strength. A steady but active pace, with opportunities to push yourself and some challenging climbs, with great descents over rolling terrain. (These folks ARE cyclists, they are usually pretty serious cyclists but do not train at the expert level.)

Average distance per day: 40-50 miles.

Expert

You crave vigorous pacing, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. You crave longer mileage with lots of hills and descents, varying terrain, and a mountain pass or two only makes it better.

Average distance per day: 45+ miles.

Family

If you have kids under 16, we have great options for you! With fewer hotel changes, easier biking and wheels for all ages, we've got your ideal active family holiday.

Average distance per day: 20–30 miles.
