What a great trip we all had !
10 guys travelling from Aust to Italy, with 10 days riding.
From the early days of planning our trip with Francesco, and arranging every little detail... we could not be happier with how everything went. Francesco arranged Hotels that were perfectly located, Riding trips that were breathtaking, Restaurants that were to die for, and the Bike Hire . Every day just kept getting better... and all seemed to flow seamlessly. All the advice Francesco gave was spot on.. he really knows the everything there is to riding safely, and managing a large group. His local knowledge is priceless, and was definitely across all parts that make a trip, a Fantastic Trip ! We highly recommend using Francesco, and have a friend forever now. Till the next trip.

CIMT is an excellent choice for a motorcycle
adventure! I recently went on a trip to Corsica/Sardegna with Francesco and fellow travellers. His attention to detail regarding routes, restaurants, hotels and cities visited was spot on. If you love riding the twisties wth incredible scenery and exploring excellent cuisine CIMT should be at the top of your list.

Francesco is the consummate motorcycle tour guide. He makes a great ride become a much greater experience. He is very knowledgeable about the terain, coffee stops, sightseeing opportunities, hotels and the best local restaurants. All our questions, personal considerations and changeable weather conditions were expertly accommodated with Francesco’s trademark humor.

With Francesco as our guide, our tour of Corsica and Sardinia was a more fulfilling experience than we had expected. We highly recommend CIMT. You will not be disappointed!.

If you like riding motorcycles and want to see Italy on a whole different level, then CIMT is the tour group for you! Francesco is a top notch tour guide and an excellent host in his country.

Amalfi Tour 2026
When you meet Francesco and Riccardo, it will feel like meeting your Italian family. The tour is amazing because Francesco delivers. He is the ultimate tour guide, translator, coordinator, historian, and motorcyclist. His extensive network of forgotten sites, hidden restaurants, coffee shops, and unique lodging will leave you in awe. Also, not to mention the excellent motorcycle routes. Riccardo drove the support van and would magically appear. Our bags and luggage were always waiting at the next destination. I have ridden my entire life, and I can tell you, riding with Francesco was a pleasure. He exceeded my expectations. We hope to ride on another of his tours. I highly recommend CMIT, Italy Motorcycle tours.

We did the Italian Alps Tour in July 25 with Francesco and as ever it was fantastic.
I do not believe anyone in Italy has more knowledge of great motorcycle roads, lunch and coffee stops than Francesco !
A relaxed atmosphere throughout, nothing is too much trouble for him, we cannot recommend CIMT highly enough. I have toured Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, Amalfi and Sicily with Francesco and can highly recommend CIMT. Thank you for a great trip Francesco Gracie Mille.

Francesco is an excellent guide and knows his way around the Italian Alps and dolomites very well. The north of Italy is very beautiful and the multistrada V4 we rented worked very well on the stelvio highway with my wife on back and full of luggage. And The food was all quite excellent.

Francesco Venzi led a small contingent of us across Tuscany, which was truly the trip of a lifetime. Expertly guiding us on the best less-traveled roads (with plenty of twisties for the fun factor), we were able to get an unparalleled glimpse of the Italian countryside and historical sites, along with experiencing out-of-the-way coffee and lunch stops. Francesco is the ultimate tour guide, providing in-depth historical accounts of events that shaped the areas we visited, as well as taking great pictures of us and our route to help bolster our own collections of tour photos. The hotels we stayed at in Orvieto, Montalcino, Siena and Cortona were top-rate, and located in the city centers so that we could either walk or take a short taxi ride to our dinner destinations. The restaurants were hand-picked by Francesco for their quality, vibe and authenticity - and provided an unsurpassed culinary context to the trip. Finally, Francesco is an expert rider and patient tour leader, so we always felt comfortable with our pace as well as never feeling rushed during any of our stops. Overall, a fantastic journey.

Francesco who leads CIMT is top tier in all respects. He has brand new Ducati models, knows the routes intimately, selects the choice hotels, curates the finest dining experiences and most importantly….he always has your back and is there when you need help. He watches over you in his pleasant friendly manner instead of some leaders who take a back seat when difficulties occur. A true gem of a guy and great person to adventure with.

This was our third adventure with CIMT and Francesco as our guide, and it was fantastic yet again. Our journey with CIMT began with Tuscany in 2012, then South Italy in 2014, and now, a memorable trip from Rome to Greece and back.

Francesco is an exceptional guide—his deep knowledge of local history enriches every stop, and he has an incredible talent for choosing unique, authentic restaurants. He takes us off the beaten path with delightful, spontaneous stops to savor local treats, from the best gelato to octopus pies, or whatever regional specialty is in season.

We couldn’t recommend Francesco and CIMT more highly. Already looking forward to planning our next ride with them!

This is our 3rd ride with Francesco!
And it's another fantastic ride + tour starting from Rome then crossing into Greece by ferry then returning to Rome.
We rode along nice scenic roads through mountains & along the coasts. Besides riding, we also had time to explore & appreciate the history & beauty of the places we stopped at. Really enjoyable!
As usual, we had great food at pocket friendly prices. Francesco makes sure that we avoid "tourist traps" 🙂
Francesco sets a good pace throughout the ride & provides very personalised service.
Before the end of our ride, we were already discussing about where our next ride would be 😉

Completed our second tour with Francesco in June. You can count on a great experience. The trips were both well organized and structured, good balance between riding time and sight seeing/expresso stops! The routes were always well planned and with Francesco leading the way you will always, always eat well!

It was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. The kind people, delicious food, stunning scenery, and the natural beauty of the Tuscany in Italy will remain deeply in my heart.

I loved the experience, guidance and the care we received from Fransesco and Ricardo during our Central Italy motorcycle tour. The fact that we were a smaller group of 8 bikes made it very manageable and fun. We rode some amazing roads and had plenty of time to visit some amazing and interesting sights. Oh, and you won't go hungry or thirsty any time soon either!

Yet another fantastic tour with Francesco round Tuscany this year. His knowledge of roads, scenery, restaurants and hotels is invaluable.He's a great personality, friendly and always organised. My husband and I and our friends have been with him on several tours and would highly recommend him as a guide. Very personalised service.

"Francesco, I'd like to extend my sincerest gratitude for the extraordinary motorcycle trip you expertly curated. The experience far exceeded my expectations and was a perfect blend of thrilling rides, culinary delights, and cultural immersion.

Imagine an 8-day motorcycle road trip through Italy. You start in Motor Valley, Emilia-Romagna, exploring its famous automotive sites and thrilling roads. Next, you ride to Rimini, enjoying the lively beach scene and coastal views. The trip then takes you into the stunning Dolomites, with its dramatic mountain roads and breathtaking landscapes. Your guide, passionate and knowledgeable, suggests more sights and experiences than you can fit in, from hidden gems in Emilia-Romagna to local spots in Rimini. Each night, you stay in unique places—rustic villas, stylish hotels, and cozy lodges—each offering comfort and local charm. With every mile, you enjoy Italy’s beautiful scenery and vibrant culture, making your adventure unforgettable.

The 2024 Apple Strudel Tour in July was over 2000 kms of bikes, mountain passes, history, great food, great rides and lots of apple strudel. Francesco is the ultimate guide for Italy, motorcycles, food and great touring. This is from his passion for all of these.....especially Moto Guzzi's and just as significant - food. After a day of twisting through the Dolomites it was great to close the day out with some great local foods and finish the meal with a local strudel. Francesco has the timetable structured to ensure any special interest can be catered for.....including a marriage proposal on top of a mountain from a couple in our group.
Next trip me is Sardinia....mainly to go the home of a new vice I picked up on tour - Mirto liqueur.

It was an incredible experience. I did the Tour of the Alps with my family, some on a motorbike and others in a convertible. Francesco and his team were extremely professional. Attentive and the landscape is beautiful. Furthermore, the food is very good in Italy. In relation to the hotel/food, our bad luck was in Barcolonette (France) - there, the accommodation was bad and the dinner too, but, honestly, that's part of it... after all, motorcyclists should stick to it and ride: they've slept in roadside hotels for the past Brazil (he ate that coxinha soaked in oil and a cold drip). If you played for the USA, even worse, you drove non-stop on the highway next to trucks, when you woke up you were forced to swallow that breakfast of tea-fé (American coffee) and nothing else. On the road, just a lot of junk food, which is also part of it.
With Francesco's team, the tour is relaxing and cultural, at a slow tourism pace, after all, if you're going to Italy and don't enjoy the gastronomy, the culture, the landscape... don't go! If you want to take a motorcycle tour without worry; guide, beautiful routes, good equipment, good motorcycles, excellent food, warm bed, relaxing tour, support car, good cuisine, excellent service… play with them
I recommend it to Brazilian adventurers! I just want to go back, and I will

What an amazing experience! Just spent nine days riding through the Alps with Francesco and had a once in a lifetime vacation. Be ready to ride all day through some of the most breathtaking and technical roads ever. Highly recommended, Francesco’s love for riding is contagious and he is constantly there to make sure everything is perfect!

We rode with Francesco this past April on his Amalfi Coast tour. This was our third trip with CIMT and once again it was a great experience! Riding with Francesco is like riding with a friend that knows all the best places! We are already talking about our next trip with CIMT. Vivere la dolce vita!

One tour with Francesco and CIMT is an outstanding experience; our fourth tour, Corsica and Sardinia in 2023 was simply sensational. The organisation was straight forward, pick up the bikes, a ferry trip and soon we were riding in Corsica. We don’t all ride like Rossi and Francesco is a master at making sure the group stays together. Of course there’s nothing better than the morning teas, lunches and dinners where the riders can re-live the experiences of the day. Historical sites and stunning views add to the experience. A day on the ocean at the start of the Sardinia section is a great idea; it breaks up the two weeks of riding. Could you finish a tour better than to blast up the SS125, one of the world’s great motorcycling roads. Yes, a CIMT tour with Francesco is a must-do for the motorcyclist!

Completed my fourth trip in 10 years with Francesco this May and enjoyed another great tour of another part of Italy. This time, 12 days riding Corsica and Sardinia. Great fun, great riding and great company as usual with CIMT.

recommendsI just returned from a vacation in Milan. I wasn't planning on riding but the weather convinced me otherwise (Great... riding weather for March).
I phoned Francesco and withing one day of booking I was riding my usual, a well maintained, 2016 BMW R1200RT. I had no riding gear with me on this trip but they supplied that too. The new guy at the shop in Milano, Rodolfo, did an excellent job in setting me up. Oh and did I mention this was my third time dealing with CIMT?
Keep up the good work Francesco. Ciao.
