Emilia Romagna Tours & Trips
Ready for food paradise? That’s what Emilia-Romagna in Italy is! It’s the Bologna food capital, with beautiful Parma ham and Parmigiano, Modena balsamic vinegar, and Ravenna Byzantine mosaics. Imagine a few days here simply eating your way around the area! The region is less touristy, more authentic, and there are plenty of food tours, with pasta making, cheese aging, and balsamic tastings. The cuisine here will blow your mind.

We took this 5 day self-guided tour with another couple from Bologna to Parma in early April. It was absolutely fantastic! (Gorgeous countryside, Parmigiano Reggiano & balsamic vinegar tours so interesting, food & activity recommendations spot on). Cycle Europe staff was incredibly organized, responsive, consistent and kind. The hotels they booked for us were wonderful - their locations with great walking access to the best of each city. The bikes were in perfect condition, GPS directions clear, and luggage transport was smooth. I highly recommend this company and would book them again in a heartbeat!

The ability to guide ourselves through a tour with an exceptional mobile application making sure we didn't get lost was amazing! My wife and I generally prefer to not do guided tours, so we can decide what we want to see. Having the option with this company to do that AND have our luggage ported and lodging taken care of in one price was one of the major highlights of our time in Italy. It was a very stress free experience that let us just enjoy the countryside by bike. We had some maintenance issues on a couple of the days, but the bike rental company handled it before we left on our next leg of the trip every time! We definitely plan to do this kind of cycling trip in the future all thanks to this experience!
