Giro Final Week cycling tour

See the decider stages of the final week and ride the iconic climbs of the Giro d’Italia. Discover the Italian gems of Lake Garda, the Little Dolomites, Piedmont, the Alps, and the great city of Rome while witnessing up close four exciting Giro stages! We specialize in catering to both cyclists and non cyclists on all of our Grand Tours.

Our trips are guided by former professional cyclists (Angelo Furlan and coach Simon Kessler) with the gourmet activities handpicked by our own Chef Jon Chiri. With over 20 years experience at the Giro and Tour de France, we have the expertise and knowledge to take you on your dream Giro d’Italia cycling vacation!

“I’ve gone on 2 trips with Gourmet Cycling Travel (the 2015 Tour de France and the 2017 Giro d’Italia). Both trips have been excellent. First off, the GCT team are super nice, accommodating and helpful. The selected rides are some of the most iconic in Europe: in France, Mont Ventoux and Alpe d’Huez, in Italy, the Passo dello Stelvio. Lastly, the food, wine and selected accommodations are top notch. GCT designs their trips for both bicyclists and non-riders – each having a great time and experience. If you’re looking for a great trip, I would very much recommend GCT. Personally, I look forward to riding / traveling with them again!” – Michael Ford, USA

    Non Cyclists

    Our Gourmet Cycling Travel tours are known for their non cycling activities and excursions which take place at the same time as the cyclists are enjoying an epic ride! You don’t have to make your partner follow the cyclists in a van for 5 hours or leave them alone for much of the day.

    Our trips cater equally to the non cyclists with some super fun and interesting activities and their own dedicated guides. Some of our non cycling activities include: a food market visit to a local village, visiting a local wine producer, cheese farm, chocolate artisan, or olive mill. Local shopping, a beautiful mountain hike, enjoying delicious lunches, cooking classes and more!

    Rental Bikes

    We offer top quality carbon fiber bicycles for rent during our tours. The bikes are equipped with specific gear to climb big mountains, typically 50/34 and 11/30 cassette. The rental price for a week of use is $400/bicycle. When you reserve your tour you will have the option to add a rental bike and select your preferred sizing.
