Tours in Italy: Tuscany, Puglia, Sardinia
Here are our tours in Italy. Our signature tour is "Cycling × Cooking", the most popular choice at Cicloposse Japan.
Ride through the picture-perfect landscapes of Tuscany, Puglia and Sardinia, taste the wines of each region, and cook authentic Italian dishes with local people. Come and experience the real Italy.
We also offer gravel tours on the legendary white roads of the "Strade Bianche", luxury tours with wine tastings, self-guided tours at your own pace, and more.
Since 1994 | Cicloposse: authentic cycling tours in Italy
Cicloposse was founded in Tuscany in 1994, born from a deep love for Italy and a passion for cycling.
With a team that includes an AIS-certified sommelier, an exercise science specialist and professional mechanics, we have spent more than 30 years sharing "the real Italy" by bike: beautiful landscapes, great food and encounters in small villages.
The name combines "Ciclo" (bicycle) and "Posse" (a group of friends).
Selected for the EU "First Mile Project" (one of only 80 companies in Europe) and Travelife Partner certified, we bring decades of experience to every trip.
Ride through the Italian hills, enjoy regional food and wine, and connect with local people. That is the journey we offer.
All tours are guided in English. If you are travelling from Japan, our Japan office is your point of contact from the first question to the end of your trip.
Japanese-language support is also available, and on selected departures Japanese staff join the group in Italy.
What our guests from Japan say
"Five days of Tuscan country roads. The kind of roads you simply can't ride in Japan, stretching on and on."
Hara-san (Tuscany Food Tour)
"The bikes were of excellent quality, the GPS routes were perfect and the accommodation was fantastic!"
Karen Selleck (Gravel Strade Bianche)
"Over five days the scenery changed a little every day. I loved it so much I wanted to live there."
Hikichi-san (Tuscany Food Tour)
