Emilia Romagna Tour Companies

Omar was very good and

Italy Real Food Adventure tour is amazing! I'm happy to travel around the cities in Italy and eat all of the food there!

Your leader Jacopo Sementilli was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. He took good care of us.

I love traveling this way. Cycling through the countryside, weaving my way into a city on bike paths and quiet neighborhoods, stopping when I want at a little cafe, or something interesting that catches my eye, choosing when to be with other people or be alone.

A wonderful culinary tour.. easy cycling on many bike paths, delicious food and great visits to farms, cooking class, food demos, a full and fun packed tour..

The ability to guide ourselves through a tour with an exceptional mobile application making sure we didn't get lost was amazing! My wife and I generally prefer to not do guided tours, so we can decide what we want to see. Having the option with this company to do that AND have our luggage ported and lodging taken care of in one price was one of the major highlights of our time in Italy. It was a very stress free experience that let us just enjoy the countryside by bike. We had some maintenance issues on a couple of the days, but the bike rental company handled it before we left on our next leg of the trip every time! We definitely plan to do this kind of cycling trip in the future all thanks to this experience!

We loved our trip with Explore in Emilia-Remagna! It was the perfect mix of walking through beautiful cities and countrysides and eating delicious food. As always on our tours with Explore, we met interesting people and had great conversations along the way. Our guide, Sonia, was enthusiastic, professional, and helpful! We can't wait for our next trip!

Visiting local producers, good walks, excellent food

Our self-guided trip with Cycle Europe through Emilio-Romagna was a delight. Well designed routes provided variety and the autonomy that we sought. The hybrid bikes were ideal for the routes, which varied from small back roads in agricultural areas to a coastal nature reserve, to the hills of Brisighella, to the amazing bike lane infrastructure that led to the heart of Bologna. Lovely hotels with great breakfasts. Helpful staff at Cycle Europe before and during our trip. Take the opportunity for a guided tour in Ravenna to learn more about the Byzantine mosaics. The olive oil tasting and lunch in Brisighella are another highlight!

Despite requesting a road bike, I ended up with a gravel bike. Not a huge disappointment but illustrates Tour Radar's poor communication with the independent bike tour operator (a company called Cycle Europe). Hotels were great. I ride more than 5000 Km per year, and was generally impressed with the flat, uninteresting terrain we rode through in Emilia Romagna. The cities we stayed in were the highlight of the trip. Wife's rented bike front derailleur was poorly adjusted, and had chain suck twice which I had to fix resulting in filthy hands for that day's riding. The first night, they couldn't accommodate us at the hotel closest to the starting point making navigation out of Bologna, from the outlying hotel more difficult and stressful. Really didn't enjoy first day of riding because of difficulty finding the course. The two culinary highlights weren't programmed into the bike computer so we ended up riding past these and missing these. My wife didn't enjoy the cycling part of the trip. I will likely not book another trip through Tour Radar. because they are a middleman, not the tour operator. I would advise potential touring cyclists to deal directly with Cycle Europe who was the operator of our tour, if you want to ride through Emilia Romagna. The 3 stars I have given are because the hotels chosen were just exquisite places to stay, so you could explore Modena, Reggio and Parma. The small towns were the highlight of the trip, not the cycling, and not the hassle of ineffective communication with Tour Radar.
