Garda Tourist Package
The ideal package for cyclists who like leisurely pace, minimal traffic, short rides, gentle climbs…
This package caters to a certain type of rider that we call “the dolce vita cyclist,” active cyclists who want to balance their days between a bike ride and other activities. The Dolce Vita cyclist may also be interested in sightseeing and experiencing Italy by bike for several hours per day. With a dedicated guide and suitable terrain, this package is the best choice if you are a leisurely paced cyclist and/or a cyclist who is comfortable and satisfied with rides of about 30 -35 miles per day.
Weekly Program
We have explored our area for the best rides that suit a Dolce Vita cyclist and have created a weekly program featuring a unique and wonderful ride each day, guaranteed to provide fantastic scenery and an immersion into local Italian life. You can choose to arrive any day of the week and stay at least 4 days or longer. Some days the ride will include a special destination to experience local Italian culture, and other days the focus will be only on the bike ride, with an early return for free time in the afternoon.
