motorcycle
tours
In this section we
have put together our favorite rides in Italy and neighboring countries, such as France, Switzerland, Austria and Tunisia.
The
rides are the fruit of our growing specialization and passion for
riding our homeland in all directions and at all times, combined with
the continuous feedback we get from you.
If
you don't have time to organize a trip of your own, spending time researching, but you still enjoy a motorcycling holiday which has
been carefully developed by experts, this section is for you. You
will find many suggestions for both weekends and week long
tours.
for
2012 and 2013 we have favoured longer guided tours, firstly to accommodate
the growing request to fill two week riding trips, secondly to allow
more time to really enjoy the areas visited without being left with
the sensation that you haven't quite seen everything. More days = a more
relaxed trip with the possibility of multiple night stopovers.
All
trips can be run self guided. we don''t pubblish prices, as hotel
this
is our full programme for 2012:

all details of the programs are
new and will gradually be online in the coming weeks. Sorry for the
delay.
all
tours include:
-
motorcycle
guide on bike at all times
(freedom to just ride and enjoy the scenery knowing your are going to
the best places and on the best
roads!)
- support vehicle for luggage transportation
(lighter bike,
easier to handle and more space for shopping)
- accommodation with breakfast in 3 or 4 star family run hotels
(hotels
with a homely feel and safe parking usually set in the historical
centre of the towns we stay in)
- motorcycle rental (you
can come with yours if you want, but it makes life easier, if you use
one of ours. You just fly and ride!)
- small groups with maximum 14 people or 8 bikes
(easier to get around,
possibility of using smaller cozier hotels. This way we don't invade
places, but get a feel of the local way of life)
- tour handbook (for
you to be able to venture off on your own, if you wish, but also a
great reminder of what you did)
- maps (you
can mark where you've been and it sets your trip into perspective as
to what you still could do in the future)
- welcome and farewell dinners (dinners
are generally down to you, but at the start and finish of the trip, it
is good to all sit at dinner together
and have a moment to share expecations and
experiences - usually however the group has dinner together and the
bill is split individually - Francesco usually selects the evening
trattorias and restaurants focusing on local dishes, specialties and
products - Italy should also be understood through its cooking)
