Cycling Tours in Italy

Why Italy Feels Made for Cycling Tours

Italy’s compact geography offers an unmatched cycling playground: from winding olive-lined lanes to vineyard-cloaked hills, dramatic mountain passes, and coastal stretches with endless views. Unlike the vast and often segregated landscapes of Australia or the United States, Italy’s countryside roads wind directly through life—farmers in the fields, shepherds with their flocks, hill towns clinging to ridge-lines.
As A’qto owner Nancy notes, Italian drivers are often courteous and welcoming to cyclists, sometimes even pulling over so riders can take a photo. This cultural respect for cycling is deeply rooted in Italy’s national identity, thanks in part to its long tradition of professional and recreational cycling.
Each of A’qto’s tours is handcrafted to reflect not only terrain but culture, food, wine, and heritage. Here’s a taste of their Italian offerings, including the brand-new Sardinia tour just LAUNCHED TODAY!
