We thoroughly enjoyed our week of cycling with Explore. Our guide Gus was caring and knowledgeable, taking us not only on a great itinerary of mostly off-road paths, but on a culinary tour of local restaurants and extra walking trips to local attractions. The tour exceeded our expectations!

day 1Join tour Venice Airport and drive to Merano

Our tour begins today at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). We'll meet at 4.15pm in the arrivals hall to transfer to our hotel. If you'd like to join this complimentary transfer, the latest your flight can arrive is 3.45pm. Our tour leader will be waiting in the hall, at the exit doors from the immigration/luggage area, holding a branded signboard. Please be aware that they may be waiting to greet both customers whose flight has just arrived and those who arrived earlier, so they may be looking in a different direction to the one you're approaching from. If you haven't booked your flights through us, it's essential you provide us with your flight information at least 30 days before your departure. Without these details, we can't monitor your flight and - in case of delays - won't be able to delay the group transfer. If you don't provide us with your flight details and miss the transfer window due to flight delay, you'll need to make your own way to the hotel in Merano. A taxi to the hotel takes around three hours and costs in the region of €550. We'll make the journey to the Alpine town of Merano as a group (a three-hour drive). After checking in to our hotel, our tour leader will organise timings for a welcome meeting, bike fitting and a group meal for those interested. Located in the South Tyrol, Merano sits in a basin at an altitude of 325 metres/1155 feet surrounded by mountains over 3000 metres/9843 feet high. It has been famed as a spa town since the 9th century and only became part of modern Italy after WWI. Before this, it formed part of the Hapsburg Empire which explains the prevailing Germanic culture, language and food in the region.
