What Are the Dates of Your Italy Bike Trips?

All of our self guided bike tours in Italy are entirely tailor made. You can choose what day you want to travel and what riding you want to do.

How fit do I need to be?

This depends on where you're riding. In the high Alps, you need to be fit to get the most out of your cycling holiday, as the climbs are long and steep. Trips like Tuscany and Puglia require you to be able to ride the required distances each day, but at your own pace and if you're worried, we always have e-bikes available.

Are your cycling tours in Italy guided?

All of our cycling holidays in Italy are self-guided, giving you the freedom to explore at your leisure. Armed with our detailed route packs, you can effortlessly navigate the stunning landscapes, pausing whenever and wherever you desire. We will take care of logistics like luggage transfers if you're moving from base to base. It's the perfect blend of independence and support, making for an unforgettable adventure.

When is the best time to go cycling in Italy?

For most areas, Italy enjoys good weather ideal for cycling adventures, from April to October. The peak summer months of July & August can be busy in towns and hot, but you can still enjoy some brilliant riding at that time and if you avoid the midday sun. Our favourite time is April to early July and September to October.

Where is good to cycle in Italy?

Italy is cycling heaven. From the climbs in the northern Alps, to the undulating hills of Tuscany and whitewashed villages of Puglia, pretty much anywhere in Italy is perfect to enjoy a cycling holiday.

What our Cyclists Say

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. I admit that I'm one of many people who have taken to booking holidays and flights direct to save a few quid. But when planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
