Join Backroads in Italy

Italy's landscapes, rich history and stellar wine and cuisine make it the perfect active and cultural destination for biking tours, hiking vacations—on your own or with friends— and family trips. And with over a decade of experience leading tours in Italy, we should know.

Italy has become our second home. As part of its community, we’re richly rewarded with a local’s knowledge of Italy's finest. Which trattoria serves the best tagliatelle. Where to stop for an impromptu picnic. Which hill towns or sea side villages are a must-see, and which enoteca to visit. And while the landscape may turn with the seasons, one thing stays constant on our trips—Italy will feel as welcome to you as your home.

"We prefer to travel on our own so we can do what we want, when we want. But biking in Tuscany involved more logistical challenges than we were ready to undertake.With Backroads we didn’t have to sacrifice our privacy and flexibility—we had both, plus the bonus of fun new friends. It was the perfect balance."
