Overview

Cycling along the Po-delta and Ferrara, blending nature, culture and fine cuisine. This leisurely bike and barge tour along the waterways of the River Po offers more than just a taster of Northern Italy. This cycling tour explores celebrated cities of art, one of Europe’s prime Nature Reserves and a wealth of tucked-away rural hamlets along the route. Rewarding our daily rides with authentic regional dishes back on board. From the glory of Venice, the lagoon leads us to colourful Chioggia. Next up, the natural wonders of the Po Delta, famed for its birdlife. Then Adria, once a key Roman port, and onwards to Ferrara and Mantua, once major city states crowned by the Italian Renaissance.
