Euro Bike and Walking Tours provided my wife and I with an excellent eight day holiday in the Veneto area of Venice. The tour was first class with 5-star hotels all along the route. We started in Mira and biked to Caorle on the Adriatic coast. From Hotel Villa Margherita we rode inland to Gorgo al Monticano with an overnight stay at the Villa Revedin. Beginning each trip with a 7:30 am breakfast and 20 min. overview of the days' route we mounted our bikes and headed out to explore the countryside with confidence in the maps and a detailed road manifest. The trip was peppered with sites and times to make planned tours of various cathederals and museums along the way. Conegliano, at the hotel Canon de Oro and Asolo at the Albergo al Sole were certainly highlights. The hospitallity was tremendous and the rooms each night only got better as the trip went on. My opinion of the tour was that it was like living in a post card. The vineyards, valleys, and hillsides made for an awesome view. And we were there!
The WWI museums and Cathedrals in each town were inspiring. Stopping daily for a casual lunch, on the roadside or visiting a small Italian restuarant at a castle courtyard or on a hillside made for a relaxing way to get to know the down to earth Italy and meet some of the people one on one. In Follina we had the pleasure of staying at the Romantik Hotel Villa Abbazia. Our room was exquisite and the hotel went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our suite. Off the courtyard, having two arched porches with stone railing with anti-room was unbelievable. In Asolo, you could not beat the Albergo al Sole for a view!! From our second floor balcony one could see miles of hills and valleys stretch between the hilltop castle of Loggia del Capitano and the village Cathedral. And the village square was directly in front of us! We spent two evenings in the square having dinner and in the late afternoon just sitting at a corner cafe having a glass of wine and watching the villagers going about their day.
Our two guides were more than attentive and courteous. They went out of their way to make sure my wife and I enjoyed every day of our visit to Italy. From van coverage, to making daily itineraries to just becoming good friends. It was a great trip and we recommend it to anyone.
