" would HIGHLY recommend CycleItalia for Italian Tours. Their motto is "Pedala Forte, Mangia Bene," which roughly translated means pedal hard, eat well. Their tours fit this motto well - the rides are challenging, the accomodations are excellent, and the tour support is excellent. "- Glenn, Ft. Collins, CO

"Overall, an excellent tour -- well thought-out itinerary, challenging yet fun rides, and lots of great food when off the bike.  Best of all, there's no pressure to ride (which is especially important if your significant other isn't into cycling as much as you are).  Larry and Heather really do their homework in setting up a great tour." - Andrew, San Carlos, CA

"This specialized operator has a wealth of knowledge about cycling in Europe. They are former racers, who have been operating tours for over 16 years. Both speak Italian anf French, and the tour size is small-no more than 12, so that everyone gets a seat in the van or car, should that be necessary.  Accommodations are first rate, happy hour every afternoon with a brief description of the next days ride. And, no one gets beat up through cutthroat challenges to crest the pass first." - Rick B., Chevy Chase, MD

"One stop shop for great riding and GREAT food!  Just show up and it is all taken care of.  Owner/operators are nice as they have a real interest in your satisfaction.  Not a wimpy tour.  Good stuff! Cycle Forte; Mange Bene!  or something like that..." - :  A. Mittelsdorf, Nashville, TN

"The fact that they arrange travel from the airport, is a HUGE plus. I have traveled with some of the most expensive bike tour groups, and had a terrible (and often expensive) time trying to get to the starting point as they are often hotels in small out-of-the way towns. " - :  Melanie, Seattle, WA

"I have done a number of trips with Cycle Italia, ... Each one has been a great experience.  Larry and Heather are knowledgeable riders and food and wine connoisseurs.  The size of each tour group is kept at a readily manageable level so you're never stuck on a large bus.  The routes chosen are superb.  If you love to ride and love to eat well, this is the tour company for you." - Myron L. Washington, DC
