Bike Across Italy – Venice to Pisa
- Length 12 days
- From USD$5795
- Style/Level Classic 2.0
- Countries Italy
- Begin/End Venice / Lucca
Overview
This is it – the classic bicycle tour that we started with back in 1972! We begin in romantic Venice, make stops in the great art cities of Ferrara, Ravenna & Florence, and end with a ride to the Mediterranean coast in Pisa. Along the way, you’ll enjoy gourmet meals from two of Italy’s best culinary regions (Emilia-Romagna & Tuscany), take in local markets, and discover a side of Italy seldom seen by tourists. You’ll also visit “the Hub,” our European headquarters, for a light lunch and a close-up look at our operations. This is our most popular cycling tour.If this sounds great but you don’t have time for the full 12 days, check out our Bicycling Venice to Florence tour, which features the first 8 days of this itinerary.

Keep in mind
We work hard to maintain consistency across all of our tours, but some trips have unique differences. Here are some things to keep in mind about this tour.
- The guided walk of Florence ends by the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, 5 minutes from the Uffizi and other important sights. On our walk, we will not visit the inside of any buildings or museums.
- If you wish to explore Florence's renowned museums, we recommend you make your museum reservations in advance. Refer to Day 8 of the itinerary to find out when to schedule your visit of the famous Uffizi Gallery or the Accademia, home to Michelangelo's David, and read more about how to plan your museum visit in Florence on tour.

The trip was the most organized and well thought-through adventure I have been on to date. Marking the route with chalk dust arrows was a bonus. The meals were great and our tour guides made our trip perfect.

I was back in the Middle Ages – lying on the bed in Firenze resting after a day of riding – when from the shuttered windows I heard a low murmuring river of sound. I slowly realized that it was the sound of humans, a multitude of shopping, chatting, living life three stories down on the road filled with shops. No cars, no discordant blares, only voices and bells. Magical!

The tour guides were wonderful. They were the best tour guides we’ve ever experienced. This is our fourth tour company and our favorite so far. We loved the trip and plan to travel with ExperiencePlus! again soon.
