Description

Day 1: Bologna
Individual arrival in Bologna, the capital of the region and probably also its culinary capital. Home to the oldest University in the world, the city has a long tradition of studies, art and gastronomy. Regarding the latter, Bologna is the cradle of mortadella: make sure to try it, perhaps with a cold cuts board in one of the locals of Via Pescherie Vecchie and a good glass of wine. Or you can indulge in a genuine cooking course at a renowned cooking school, or, again, enjoy the Emilian flavors with a dinner in a rustic local trattoria.

Day 2: Modena - Modena (63 km; +/-212 m)
Today you will leave the center of Bologna, pedaling on its numerous urban cycle paths, to reach the sublime Bologna hills sung by the famous local artist Cesare Cremonini in 50 Special. You will face a short climb, but your effort will be rewarded with splendid views. Then continue on the bike path to the city of Bazzano. We recommend, before heading to Modena, to visit its Rocca Renaissance saddle. Once in Modena, do not miss a visit to the historic center and the Cathedral, a Romanesque masterpiece, and its bell tower, the Ghirlandina, which dominates the entire surroundings.

Day 3: Modena - Reggio Emilia (56 km; +/-223 m)
Before Departing for the Reggian countryside, visit the Modena covered market. Here you can delight yourself with the famous Balsamic Vinegar, but also grab some snacks for the journey: fruit and vegetables, but also gourmet selections of Lambrusco wine, amaretti, truffles, cheese and prosciutto. Then, pedaling on secondary roads, you will reach the farm where you will stay.

Day 4: Reggio Emilia - Parma (63 km; +/-219 m)
Today's destination is Parma, a city that will surprise you and your taste buds. After exploring this city rich in art and culture, enjoy some time in the historic center and take the opportunity to delight your palate with Prosciutto and Parmigiano, perhaps accompanied by a rich cold cuts board as an aperitif.

Day 5: Parma
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
