This was a really lovely ride through contrasting scenery from the mountains, through several different cities to Venice. The riding was easy, mostly on lovely cycle paths with regular water fountains and cafes. There were only a few climbs, although some of the days were quite long, with headwinds. The food was good and the hotels variable, but always comfortable.
This tour offers challenging hikes most days through spectacular scenery, with a fun day of biking (eBike recommended!), and for strong hikers, the via ferrata for an exceptional thrill! You will eat incredible food (and a LOT of it) and stay in darling refugios (more like mountain lodges) and fine quality hotels. The guides are great and you will go home satisfied with fun memories of your challenging adventure (do be sure to train!).
This week-long self-guided cycling trip was excellent. Cycling through olive groves, along rocky shores and sampling tasty local food. Typical distances were 30K a day suggested, but there is great scope for extending (or shortening) routes to suit yourself. Directions were generally good, and accommodation was excellent along the way in very friendly hotels in Fazana (especially!) Rovinj and Porec.
