We are proud to be the official Premium Tour Operator for the Giro d’Italia, Strade Bianche and Maratona dles Dolomites GF.

Our passion and desire to deliver the cycling holiday of a lifetime has resulted in so many of our clients returning year after year. So, if you are looking for a cycling experience where excellence comes as standard and a great bottle of Chianti is as important as riding, then choose Italy Bike Tours.
