Top Places You’ll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Lake Garda
Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, is a world of contrasts — where alpine peaks meet olive groves and lemon terraces. Its vast, shimmering surface reflects medieval castles, waterfront villages, and Mediterranean vegetation. Ancient Roman villas still stand along its shores, testifying to centuries of admiration.

Mt. Baldo Range
The Monte Baldo range stretches for over 30 kilometers along the eastern shore of Lake Garda, earning the nickname “Garden of Europe” for its exceptional biodiversity. Its slopes host alpine and Mediterranean species side by side, creating a natural paradise of rare flowers and sweeping vistas.

Castello Scaligero di Sirmione
Dominating the narrow peninsula of Sirmione on Lake Garda, this 13th-century fortress is one of the best-preserved castles in Italy. Surrounded by water, its walls and towers reflect beautifully in the lake, creating an unforgettable sight. Built by the Scaliger family of Verona, the castle once guarded the port and the town.

Verona
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Verona is a city where Roman grandeur and Renaissance elegance coexist in perfect harmony. Its ancient arena — still used for operas today — recalls the city’s importance in Imperial times, while medieval bridges and piazzas invite leisurely exploration.

Montagnana
Montagnana is one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval walled towns, encircled by nearly two kilometers of perfectly intact 14th-century walls and 24 towers. Inside, cobbled streets lead to elegant palaces and lively squares that reflect centuries of prosperity. The massive defensive gates once guarded the borderlands of the medieval Carraresi lords of Padua.

Venice Canals
The canals of Venice form the lifeblood of one of the world’s most extraordinary cities. Winding through a maze of over a hundred small islands, these shimmering waterways replace roads, carrying gondolas and vaporetti past marble palaces and hidden courtyards. The Grand Canal, lined with Gothic and Renaissance façades, tells the story of a city that once ruled the seas.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!


Great trip: excellent customer service, great route, excellent hotel stays during the tour. The bike rental company that they use is the best I've ever experienced in Europe. I am even planning to buy the same bike for myself at home that I had on the trip! We had this service also book our stay for after the tour, and that is the only thing I would do differently next time, since the hotel for the several days after the tour was not very good, had mediocre service and not a good location. But for the tour, I would definitely recommend DenmarkBikeTours.
Exploring Tuscany on a self-guided cycling holiday was pure joy. The carefully curated routes took me through vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque towns like Siena and Pienza. I loved being able to stop whenever I wanted to soak in the views or enjoy a cappuccino in a quaint café. The GPS and route notes were spot-on, and the logistics, from luggage transfers to charming accommodations, were seamless. Tuscany’s beauty is best experienced on two wheels, and the freedom to set my own pace made it unforgettable.
