Top Guide Tours
We are delighted to welcome you to our Top Guide Tour Series—a curated collection that celebrates the heart and soul of Ciclismo Classico: our guides.
So, what is a Top Guide Tour?
These are signature itineraries led by our most experienced and deeply trusted guides, professionals who know their regions not just well, but intimately. These guides have spent years riding the same roads, building relationships with local families, winemakers, hoteliers, and artisans, and refining each route through lived experience. They are true specialists in their regions.
A Top Guide Tour is not a new or experimental itinerary. Rather, it is a tour defined by the guide. Their expertise transforms each day into something richer—more immersive, more connected, and more meaningful. From the best time of day to ride a particular stretch to the hidden café locals love to the story behind a village festival or vineyard, these tours offer a depth of understanding that only comes from long-standing personal ties.
This exclusive series is a Ciclismo Classico hallmark and fills quickly. Guests are drawn not only to the destinations but also to the opportunity to travel with an exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate, and eager guide who is eager to share their world. Each Top Guide Tour often includes thoughtful extras inspired by the guide themselves—such as behind-the-scenes visits, or special tastings—small details that reflect their personal connection to the region.
Our guides hold a special place in every Ciclismo traveler’s heart. Over time, experience, dedication, and excellence earn them the distinction of Top Guide—a role defined by leadership, mastery, and an unwavering commitment to quality. These are the guides our guests ask for by name and the tours that often fill before they’re even announced.
Join us on a Top Guide Tour and experience what happens when deep regional knowledge, human connection, and exceptional cycling come together—the way only Ciclismo Classico can deliver.
