Italy Three Ways
Experience this rich and diverse country your way
Most of our repeat travelers know that ExperiencePlus!’s first tour was born in Italy and we call this spectacular country our home-base in Europe. Italy is a diverse country with worlds of art, history, and of course cuisine to offer. Whether you’re looking for scenic views, great food, or rich history, we have just the route for you.
Bike Across Italy – From Venice to Pisa
Cycle into the heart and soul of Italian history, art, culture and cuisine
This is our oldest and one of our most traveled bike tours. When we first created Bike Across Italy in 1972, it was the first tour our family business ever ran, and it has remained a customer favorite. If you want to get a sample of “everything Italy”: Roman and Renaissance history, the scenic landscape, the stunning art, the architecture, the famed cities, and the wonderful culture, food and wine, then we suggest you Bike Across Italy from Venice to Pisa. Beginning in Venice, you’ll cycle through the heart and soul of Italy, following routes we’ve ridden for over 30 years. You’ll enjoy gourmet meals and wines from Italy’s most renowned culinary regions – Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, and you’ll have time to wander through the stunning art cities of Ferrara, Ravenna and Florence ending your journey by exploring Lucca and pedaling to Pisa. Along the way, you’ll take in local markets and discover a side of Italy seldom seen by tourists.
