Umbria - Saints, Warriors and Unspoilt Nature

Commonly referred to as Italy’s green heart, the region of Umbria is a cyclist’s delight. With spectacular scenery, rich historical heritage, unique gastronomy and great wines, this region, one of Italy’s smallest, packs a powerful punch. The towns and villages we visit contain some of Italy’s greatest treasures.
Often overlooked in favour of Tuscany, its more illustrious neighbour, we believe that Umbria is actually a preferable destination for a bike tour. Hilltop villages, churches and watchtowers punctuate a serene landscape of verdant forests, vineyards and olive groves that can’t help but capture the imagination.
Relatively ‘untouched’ by tourism Umbria really gives a sense of being undiscovered. This is emphasised by the hospitality of the locals and the lack of traffic on the roads that we cycle on. Our tour joins the dots between some of Italy’s most mysterious and fascinating sites in a way that really makes you feel that you are being let into a secret world.
