Italian Adventure Tours. A New Way to Experience Italy with Us

We’re excited to launch our new Adventure Tours for 2026.

As a new way to experience Italy with us, our Sardinia Adventure Tour from 29 June–5 July 2026 and Cilento Coast Adventure Tour from 7–13 September 2026 are seven-day, small-group experiences designed for cyclists and active travellers who want to explore Italy through a more diverse and immersive lens.

Blending cycling, hiking, sea kayaking and curated cultural experiences, these tours offer a carefully balanced mix of challenge, reward and connection, with flexibility also built in.

Where our Classic Cycling Tours focus on road cycling and a separate non-riding partner program, these new tour itineraries invite all guests to choose their own active daily program.  Strong riders can still enjoy 300–350km of cycling and 5,000-7,000m elevation, while others may mix it up with some rides, and some hikes and sea kayaking experiences by day, and also opt for artisan visits, cooking classes, or some time for spa and relaxation by night.

Why Sardinia and the Cilento?

We chose Sardinia and the Cilento Coast for their wild natural beauty, rich traditions, and slower pace of life. Both regions are unspoilt paradises where the mountains meet the sea, offering the ideal terrain for varied outdoor activities and meaningful cultural immersion.

Each destination brings its own flavour: Sardinia leans into art, history, and rugged adventure, while Cilento, home of the Mediterranean diet and a UNESCO World Heritage-listed national park, invites a deeper exploration of slow food, tradition, and wellness.
Highlights of our Sardinia Adventure Tour include:

• Riding, hiking and kayaking around Isola La Maddalena
• Sea Kayaking in the Gulf of Orosei
• Hiking Gorropu Canyon and Sardinia’s Gennargentu mountains
• A dinner in the mountains with local shepherds
• Optional hands-on art experiences such as mosaic or ceramics

Highlights of our Cilento Coast Adventure Tour include:


• Multi-sport exploration of the Cilento Coast, a UNESCO National Park
• Riding, hiking and kayaking around medieval Maratea
• A local cooking class with a renowned chef and his nonna
• A visit to a buffalo mozzarella producer and slow food tastings in the home of the Mediterranean diet
• Paddling into the mesmerising blue grotto of Palinuro!

A Natural Evolution

While our Classic Cycling Tours remain as our core offering across Tuscany, Puglia, Piedmont, the Dolomites, Giro d’Italia, Sicily, and now Sardinia, these new Adventure tours reflect a growing appetite from solo travellers, couples with different cycling abilities, and small groups looking for more flexibility and variety in their daily activities.

For us, these tours bring together everything we love – active days, both on and off the bike, slow food, authentic connection and offering our guests the chance to explore Italy with us in new ways.
