    Olga

    Asked on February 13th, 2024

    How is the best way to get to Mantua (without a car) from Ravenna and Bologna and would I easily get to the international airport at that end?

    Flights / Transfers
    Transport
    • Girolibero - Cycling holidaysOperatorWritten February 2024

      The best way to get to Mantua from there is the train or the bus. If you want to start the tour in Mantua you will finish that in Venice, so if your flight is from there you will be fine with a taxi or shuttle. If your flight is from other airports, the best option is the train again. Unfortunately I do not have availability in September for this tour. We have availability between end of June and August, plus some cabins in October.

    Cassandra

    Asked on January 18th, 2024

    Is the eike included in the price

    Price / Availability
    • Girolibero - Cycling holidaysOperatorWritten January 2024

      the price of the bike rental is not included in the price of the cabin. You have to select both voices when creating the quote to see the final price.
