Location

The northern Italian city of Verona has long been a popular destination for a city break. Compact and intriguing, it’s easy to take it all in on foot. Highlights include the Roman arena (so well-preserved that it still holds regular concerts) and Juliet’s balcony. But the really fun part is losing yourself in its winding lanes, discovering imposing churches and tiny piazzas on the way. Verona has a buzzy nightlife. Here the pre-dinner aperitivo is an important business, make sure you partake. As with any Italian city you won’t have a hard time finding good food at reasonable prices as long as you stay away from the tourist traps. Leaving the city for the surrounding countryside, you soon come to one of the most important wine producing areas in Italy. The picture-perfect hillside vineyards and olive groves stretch all the way to the western shore of Lake Garda. Some of the country’s most famous red wines come from the Verona hinterland, from fresh, light Valpolicella to rich, full bodied Amarone. Soave, a dry white is also produced here.

After the tasting, let’s ride back to Verona.

Do I need to bring my own bike or is one provided?

You're welcome to bring your own bike, but most guests choose to hire a quality touring or e-bike locally through us, which saves the hassle of transporting it. Let us know your preference, height and experience level, and we'll make sure the right bike is ready and waiting when you arrive.

Are e-bikes available and are they suitable for less experienced cyclists?

Yes, e-bikes are available on most of our cycling routes, including Istria, the Danube and the Verona to Venice trail, and they're a great option if you want to cover more ground with less effort or tackle hillier sections comfortably. Just request an e-bike when booking and we'll arrange it for you.

Is my luggage transferred between hotels while I cycle?

Yes, on our self-guided cycling holidays your luggage travels ahead to your next hotel each day, so you only need panniers or a small bag on the bike itself. It's one less thing to think about, letting you focus on enjoying routes through places like Provence or the Salento coastline.

How much traffic will I encounter on the routes?

We choose routes that prioritise dedicated cycle paths, quiet backroads and riverside trails wherever possible, such as along the Danube or through Istria, keeping busier roads to a minimum. Some short sections on any route may involve light traffic, and we'll flag anything notable in your route notes in advance.

What fitness level do I need for a multi-day cycling holiday?

Our cycling holidays range from relaxed, flat routes suitable for occasional cyclists to longer, hillier days for more experienced riders. We grade each itinerary and can suggest daily distances or an e-bike upgrade if you'd like to keep the pace comfortable while still covering the full route.

Can I do the route at my own pace and stop where I like?

Yes, that's the beauty of a self-guided cycling holiday, you set off each morning with your route notes or GPS and travel entirely at your own pace, stopping for coffee, lunch or photos whenever you fancy. There's no group to keep up with and no fixed daily schedule beyond reaching your next hotel.
