Central Holidays —
Founded in 1972, with headquarters in the U.S. and an office in Italy, they specialize in reasonably priced Italy tours, Central Europe tours, and the Mediterranean. They are experts when it comes to Italy, and currently offer four escorted cycling tours through Italy.
Italy cycling tours include the hills and coastal villages of Tuscany, the Estrucean ruins and endless vineyards of Chianti, along the Po river past Renaissance architecture and vineyards of Piemonte, or Lake Garda, with its views of the Dolomites, vineyards and medieval villages!
Rides average about 30-45 miles a day, with some in mountainous areas, like Lake Garda, being more strenuous. Cycling tours include bikes (with assistance, mechanics and route support), hotels, most meals, and an experienced guide.
Central Holidays offers other specialty tours as well, including ski vacations, cooking classes, wine excursions, tours for art aficionados; religious tours, river cruises, and an exciting array of reasonably priced independent travel itineraries (some under $1000)!
