We are travelling from Australia and would like to participate in a bike ride through the mountains. We're interested in this tour or the Dolomites tour starting on the 16th June. Do you have space on these tours? Can we hire bikes? We are travelling from Barcelona- is the start point easy to get to?

We provide a bike rental service with 2 different kinds of bikes: -High-end carbon frame road bike Giant equipped with electronic shifter Di2 and disk brakes -E-road bike (electric). We'll ride in a unique protected area and a unique landscape that will enthrall you, A UNESCO WORD HERITAGE SITE! In order to provide the best service and guarantee the best cycling vacation to our guests, we have chosen to organize tours only for small groups, so we'll provide a van and a bike guide for a maximum of 7 people and in case of tiredness, bad weather, or others reason, a spot in the van is always guaranteed, the van is always beside the group providing any kind of assistance.

I am lookiing at Great Alps- Luxury/Small Group Bike Tour (code 97742): either the June 9 to 15 or the July 14 to 20 trip. In looking at the brochure I remain unclear if a bike is provided or how a rental is set up.

The client can rent 2 different kinds of bikes: - High-end road bike, electronic shifter, and disk brake 380€ - E-road bike (electric) 520€

Are E bikes an option

Yes, We can provide E-road bikes for you. This tour takes place in a breathtaking mountain town: Bormio. During this tour, we'll be staying in a luxury 4-star Hotel.

What airport do I fly into? Any how do I get to Bormio, Italy? What airline would you recommend? Do you book the flights?

So is the a group tour....7 days, 6 nights? Also, where would I fly into? Venice? And, how many hours to departure town?

how many people are booked on each of the tours what is the mileage of each day does the traveler bring his/her own bike

We have some tailor-made tours of the alps but all are sold out. We have other departures confirmed in July.

Are airport transfers included?

All the transfer (from airport to hotel and from hotel to airport) are included. We provide transfer from all the airport/ station.

Road Bike Tours Italy is amazing!!! My mom and I set out for a 5-day bike trip through the Italian Alps with guides Luca and Michela. From the moment we started planning the trip via email with the guides, they were accommodating, on top of it, informative and friendly. On the first day of the trip, Luca and Michela picked us up in their support van in a city 2 hours away from our base site (Bormio). The first thing we loved about Luca and Michela was their incredibly warm and bright personalities - we clicked with them right away and felt right at home with them in Bormio. Luca led us on on the bike through different Giro d'Italia routes each day, which were challenging and breathtaking, while Michela drove the support van behind us, taking awesome photos and providing us with everything we needed- snacks, water, changes of clothes, bike mechanics. Not only were they amazing bike guides, but amazing tour guides of the Alps region in general, full of historical and cultural knowledge and providing lots of laughter throughout the trip. Road Bike Tours Italy provided the most incredible cycling and cultural experience - we came away with not only amazing cycling memories, but also new dear friends Luca and Michela who we will be sure to bike again with!Show more

My daughter and I spent a wonderful week with Road Bike Tours Italy riding through the Italian Alps. Luca and Michela were exceptional partners and guides in facilitating the best riding experience we could have asked for. Their local knowledge of the area combined with their passion for cycling and attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience. I would recommend this Tour to anyone who loves cycling, food and Italian culture. Show more
