Massimo de Laurentiis

Massimo de Laurentiis

So far this year, Massimo has clocked 3,000 kilometers – and it’s only March!  Hailing from Abruzzo, climbing mountains is Massimo's #1 passion. A true Renaissance man, Massimo is an accounting whiz, speaks five languages, has traveled five of the seven continents, and lived in both the U.S. and Brazil. Three years ago he settled in Rome where it is his pleasure to help Ciclismo guests when they come to the capital.

Gelato of choice: lemon sorbetto
Favorite cycling website: Responsible Travel

"Massimo is a treasure.” – Eric of Vancouver, WA
“This was our third trip with Massimo. He’s just a great person: intelligent, very considerate, very knowledgeable. A great advertisment for Italy.” – Ellis of Houston, TX

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.

Make This Your Default Level

Moderate

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.

Make This Your Default Level

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.

Make This Your Default Level

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.

Make This Your Default Level

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.
