Tour Summary

You’ll be exploring 800 miles and ascending 50,000ft on this incredible Italian 'Classico' tour. We start in the ancient city of Pisa in Tuscany, cycling south along the west coast with its amazing beaches into the Lazio region. 

Through Tuscany you will find roads lined with iconic evergreen cypress, rolling hills of wheat and hectares of vines. Medieval hilltop villages, like Bolgheri, invite you up to enjoy the stunning views. Before browsing cobbled streets where trattorias vie with gelaterias to satisfy your appetite and shops sell Tuscan olive oil, truffles, Cantuccini biscotti and lots of wine.

We then enter Campania and continue east across the stunning Apennnine Mountains through Basilicata you'll experience the different types of terrain, from challenging climbs to rolling hills and flat river roads. However quiet inland roads provide a safe environment for you to immerse in the diversity of the history, culture and traditions Italy has to offer incuding the incredible UNESCO world heritage site of Matera shown below.

Finally we arrive in Puglia, where via Lecce we meander on stunning coastal roads to our end point the very heel of Italy in Santa Maria di Leuca. Here you can reflect on having dined and slept in some charming local hotels and having experienced the very best of this part of the country has to offer.
