Can my spouse who is a not avid cyclist accompany me for the cultural experience?

Often we have no riders guests, our tour allows everybody to live a cultural experience by visiting all the historic villages and towns we ride through.

Can you provide some details on the distance and elevation climbed on each day of this tour?

The stages are 70/75 km per day with a average climbing of 900/1100 m per day. We provide a bike rental service with 3 different kinds of bikes: high-end carbon frame road bike Giant Defy similar (electronic shifter and disk brake), E-road bike (electric).

Just enquiring as to the road bike options.

We provide a bike rental service with 3 different kinds of bikes: entry-level carbon frame road bike Giant TCR Advanced 2 or similar (rim brakes and Shimano 105), high-end carbon frame road bike De Rosa 838 or similar (electronic shifter and disk brake), and E-road bike (electric).

I see your group size is at 7 maximum. Once we select the travel week, we have 16 people to invite, but we won't know how many will want to join until then. we were interested in late September or the first week of october 2023. Can we run 2 parallel groups of 7? We think we will have 8 - 14 people in our group.

Definitely, we can organize a tour for more than 7 people. To guarantee the best cycling vacation in case of groups bigger than 7 people we organize a van and a bike guide every 7 people. So in case, your group is, for example, 10 people, we'll have 2 vans and 2 bike guides. The last season we had groups from 10 to 20 people but always with 1 van and 1 bike guide every 7 people. Working in this way we can provide the best assistance for a cycling holiday in complete peace of mind. With this kind of group, we can organize for you a private-tailor-made departure based on your preference.

I'd like to know how many stars are the typical hotels we will be staying at and as a single traveler are prices based on single or double occupancy?

In this tour we have two 3stars hotel, one agriturism and one 4 stars hotel. The price for the single room is 350€.

Is the longest 75 km? Also elevation gain would help me know if this is the trip for me.

The longest stage is 85km and the average elevation gain is 1000m., some days 800 and one day 1100m. A van is always beside you to provide any kind of assistance.
