We love when the Giro D’Italia comes to our part of Italy…the excitement, the passion, the glory… it fills our neighbourhoods and villages and touches everyone. We relish this spirit as our world turns pink. Sharing our love of the Giro with friends and guests is personal for us. It is the most authentic Italian cycling experience we have, and it is right in our backyard. There’s no better holiday for the avid cyclist that appreciates the pro peloton and the history and culture of this great race. Let us show you our Giro. This is our 8th year offering a Giro package, and with our experience and local knowledge, you can trust that we will provide you with quality hotels, smooth transfers, special Giro stage access close to the action, and of course, a cycling holiday that you will talk about for years to come…
We’ll ensure that you experience the action of the Giro first-hand, taking you to many of the key mountain stages in Northern Italy to see the pros do battle, watch stage finishes and be part of the excitement of the podium ceremonies. Most importantly, you can be sure that our focus will be on you! And the best part…. you’ll be riding a Pinarello Dogma F12, with Di2 and disc brakes, included in the Package!

Giro d’Italia bike package was probably the best vacation my wife and I have ever experienced. The scenery, hotels and atmosphere were unbelievable. Every day that we woke up to a new cycling adventure, we had to pinch ourselves as if we were living in a dream. Everyone we met was passionate about making sure our experience was nothing but top notch. If there is a problem, it is that we will never be able to replicate such a beautiful vacation experience. I am confident that this will always be the benchmark we use to measure other vacations. Thank you for the memory of a lifetime!!
