What are Guests Are Saying
"Lise and Gary did such a great job finding extraordinary places along the way. We stayed in so many unique, wonderful hotels and inns. It was apparent that they had spent a lot of time finding interesting and special routes that really exposed us not only to the essence of the sport of cycling in Italy, but also to the less traveled, cultural aspects that helped round out our European experience."
Ruth and Bob Wade, Aspen, CO

"I have had the pleasure of taking two cycling trips to Europe with The Adventure Travel Group and can't wait to take another! I could not imagine a better trip. Gary and Lise take care of every aspect of the trip with great attention to detail--the cycling route, food, accommodations and alternative activities are all planned to perfection. The end result is a trip that leaves me telling all my friends that trips with The Adventure Travel Group are the ultimate vacations."
