What Is Your Passion?

Are you easily seduced by an incredible view? Do the gods of gelato and pasta call your name? Does your yearning to explore pull on your heartstrings when you hear the word “travel”? Do your dreams include spinning down quiet roads with your senses fully alive, absorbing the world’s most amazing cultures and spectacular scenery? Many moons ago, I followed my childhood passion for cycling, culture and landscapes and created Ciclismo Classico. My desire was to develop the most culturally intriguing and gorgeous cycling experiences in the world. Along the way, I also discovered my life purpose: to share my favorite places and inspire pedaling wanderlusts to discover and embrace their own deepest passions. Following this path, I have reignited my passion for photography and discovered that experiencing the world through a lens can allow a very similar, albeit slower, deep dive into the spirit of a place. While cycling is meditation in motion, photography offers a very special and mindful immersion into place. Both expand our sensory experience of the world like nothing else! In addition to cycling tours, our award-winning offerings now include photography tours for the culturally curious. These Travel Vision Journeys in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Iceland and Italy will connect and teach you about the world’s most enchanting cultures, nature and precious landscapes through an exclusive photographic experience. These perfectly crafted itineraries include daily classroom workshops and hands-on practice while exploring the surroundings with our master photography guides. At Ciclismo Classico, the pioneers in bicycle travel since 1989, creating an active experience that sparks your passion is our sole mission. Like chefs who intuitively know, love and seek out delicious flavors to blend into a succulent dish, our Ciclismo Classico dream team combines an insatiable love of cycling, travel and culture with a rich imagination for creating one-of-a-kind itineraries. This special blend of ingredients, the “Magical Ciclismo Menu,” has earned dozens of awards and thousands of accolades and is a feast for the senses that will win a place in your heart. That is my personal guarantee. Are you ready to soar through a landscape and pedal to your heart’s content? Do you long to follow your curiosity, wander through ancient villages and listen to the sounds of life play a soulful tune? Can’t resist stopping and taking hundreds of photos? Why wait to enjoy these sensory adventures? You deserve to follow your passions, live life to its fullest, sleep like a baby and awaken excited do it all over again!

After inspiring thousands of guests and designing the world’s most innovative cycling itineraries, one simple principle remains at our Ciclismo Core: Life should be active, fun, delicious, educational, flowing, strengthening, energizing and deeply connected with beautiful places and their people. Whether you are pedaling a bicycle or looking through a lens, you will discover, on a Ciclismo Classico tour, that life itself is a dream waiting to happen. Buona Pedalata!

What Makes a Ciclismo Experience Magical?

Magic Ingredient #1:

Magic Ingredient #2:

Magic Ingredient #3:

Our renowned tour leaders aren’t just fit cyclists showing you all the sights. Most were born and raised in Italy and Europe and live there year-round. They’ll give you the inside running on their home territory and the regions you’ll visit, sharing secrets and tips that only locals are privy to. It’s what Ciclismo Classico is famous for.

Not the fossil kind, but glorious fuel for you! Each day, feast on gourmet spreads featuring the tasty signature specialties of the region, from homemade tortellini in Italy to crepes stuffed with goat cheese and honey in Provence. Plus, you’ll enjoy the bounty of our famous Ciclismo alfresco picnics—a real treat.

Like true bicycle bambini, our guides have ridden—even raced—thousands of miles in their adventurous lives. In special miniclinics and lessons, they’ll share with you the fine points of shifting, braking, posture, climbing, descending, cadence and more, so that you’ll ride for maximum enjoyment and achieve your personal best.

Magic Ingredient #4:

Our Exclusive Menu of Special Ingredients

EXPERT, LOCAL GUIDES

LESSONS IN THE LOCAL LINGO You won’t be at a loss for words when a local pays you a compliment or gives you directions. Our native guides will conduct a number of efficient, structured language lessons covering important words and phrases that will earn big, welcoming smiles from the locals.

“ We have been charmed by the magic of traveling with Ciclismo—why go with anyone else?” — SANDY, SEATTLE, WA

FUEL, GLORIOUS FUEL

RAMPING UP YOUR RIDE

Magic Ingredient #7:

There’s no other adjective to describe them. Don’t be surprised to roll into a village at the height of a Renaissance fair, community feast or religious celebration, like the madcap Festa dei Ceri in Gubbio on the Bike Across Italy tour. We design many trips to coincide with them. Bring plenty of memory cards for your camcorder or point-and-shoot!

When traveling by bicycle, getting an excellent night’s sleep is right up there with gourmet carbs and fabulous scenery. From a rustic farmhouse to a five-star villa, from a medieval castle to a cute cottage, we make sure your nightly “casa” reflects the character of your destination.

Need a breather? Hop in the Ciclismo support van, your air-conditioned deli, tool shed, café and hangout. Rest your wheels, crack open a box of biscotti and follow the route until you’re ready to roll on that magic pavement again. Caveat: the guides might get you singing “Volare” or some other classic Italian tune while you enjoy the ride.

Magic Ingredient #9:

That means “after your ride, have fun!” in Italian. You’ve parked your wheels, indulged in dinner, what’s next? Gelato strolls, dancing la tarantella in the piazza, spontaneous serenades and even a late-night dip in the Mediterranean are just some of the ideas our guides conjure up for that all-important nightcap. Dormire bene— another magic day awaits your willing wheels.

We make sure you keep your body fueled regularly with water, fresh fruit and high-energy snacks, sourced locally when we can. Think—or rather scarf—orangeand-chocolate Pan dell’Orso (bear bread), piping hot pastries and, va bene, you better start pedaling!

DOPO IL GIRO FUN: Divertirsi!

What’s the Ciclismo Secret Sauce?

“ The guides were the most outstanding feature of the tour. Professional and efficient, but also passionate about cycling, food, culture, and very connected to the group. We’d do another trip with them in a heartbeat.” — MIKE, MERCER ISLAND, WA What inspires our guests to return year after year for their annual active vacation, birthday, wedding or other milestone moment in their life? Our guides’ passion for their work and years of expertise. In our 27 years of operation, we’ve received countless letters of adoration and appreciation from guests thanking our highly experienced, and often local, guides for hosting the perfect tour. Tours that create deep cultural connections with the areas you travel through, tours that take you on an insider’s adventure of Italy and beyond, tours that are led by our amazing guides… and our own Ciclismo Guiding Principles.

Guiding Principle #1:

Guiding Principle #2:

Guiding Principle #3:

Even in a small group, feeling at ease with your travelmates is key to creating the perfect cycling adventure. Our gregarious guides break the ice between you and other travelers, no matter what corner of the world they come from. Before you know it, you’ll be talking travel memories, ancient history, wine varietals and more. With our guides as your mutual connection, you’ll forge lasting friendships and feel like you’re traveling with family.

A warm welcome into our guides’ hometowns (and, in some cases, their own homes!) is a given. But tagging along to their favorites—gelaterias that serve up Dolomite–sized servings, ancient murals that have been long tucked away in a barn—is like visiting a long-lost cousin who knows all the secret spots. Connections with the local people—and their enthusiasm—is what distinguishes a Ciclismo Classico Guide from others in the field.

Whether cycling alongside you or tailing you in our support van, your guide is always on the spot, making sure you stay on track, keeping your water bottles full and ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect day of bicycle travel. Mechanical problem? No problem! Our guides have the tools and experience, and our mobile bike van is never more than a crank-turn away.

TRANQUILLO: PUTTING YOU AT EASE—IMMEDIATELY

Guiding Principle #4:

CICLISTI: EXPERT COACHING TO MAKE YOU A BETTER CYCLIST No matter how athletic you are, there’s always room to get more from your ride. Our guides are expert cyclists, former competitive racers and experienced distance bicycle travelers, and have plenty of other cycling credentials. Most importantly, they love sharing their cycling expertise, and offer at least three structured clinics and personalized coaching tips to make your ride safer, better and more effective.

CASA MIA É CASA TUA

SEMPRE SORRIDENTE: STELLAR SUPPORT, MILE AFTER MILE

Guiding Principle #5:

PROFESSIONALE E ATTENTO Our guides are the first to rise and the last to bed—it’s a lot of work to make sure your tour runs like a well-oiled machine! Their professionalism is enhanced by their innate ability to care for each and every individual guest. They delight in showing off their homeland in a way that unforgettably ignites your passions—whatever they may be. We carefully select guides who foster these surprisingly rare dual qualities.

World’s Greatest Guides Guiding Principle #6: RIMANI IN CONTATTO: STAY CONNECTED

Our guides love to stay in touch post-tour. Via Facebook, Skype, email, blogs—even a personal visit—our guides keep you up to speed on upcoming events, giving you plenty of reasons to return to their homeland. They love hearing your thoughts on what would make your next Ciclismo tour even better. During winter, our guides often come to our Boston office and hit the road to visit their new cycling friends. If you are interested in hosting them at reunion festa in your hometown, please contact our office. ciclismoclassico.com | 1.800.866.7314
