Overview

This bike tour in Italy runs through the _il cuor verde d'Italia_ or the "green heart" of the country. The landscape consists of rolling hills, mountains, and valleys, thick with forests, and lush farmland laced with olive groves and vineyards. Umbria is big in history, culture, and cuisine. This tour will showcase all three, with particular emphasis on gastronomy, which is based on locally-raised game meats, delicious wines, olive oils, and wild produce like truffles and wild asparagus. Also plentiful are a wide variety of local freshwater fish. You will have the opportunity to taste the local wines, cheeses, and other tasty delicacies. You can even enjoy a cooking class! The tour is a Self Guided Bike & Hotel Tour in Italy with an Easy-Moderate Skill Level. The daily distances are between 14 and 32 miles (23 - 51 km). Cycling takes place on 80% quiet, rural, country roads and a few bike paths. You'll encounter heavier traffic in larger towns, such as Perugia but it's only for short distances.
