The Vago Way:
bespoke bike tours, Italian vibes.
Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend
WHAT IS THE VAGO WAY?
Think of Vago as your Italian friend with bikes, wine, Nonna’s best recipes and a plan. We take care of everything, so you can just show up, ride, and enjoy every moment, stress-free. Every bike tour is built around your group, your rhythm, and your appetite for beauty, flavor, and the joy of the road.
This isn’t just a bike trip. It’s everything beautiful about Italy, on two wheels.
What makes a trip with Vago Special?
Tailored Planning
Tailored Planning
No two groups are the same, and no two tours should be. Our Italy bike tours don’t begin with a rigid schedule — they begin with a conversation. We’ve designed trips mixing e-MTB trails with road climbs, and crafted routes where avid riders and casual e-bikers all ended the day smiling. Whether we build a tour from scratch or adapt one of our itineraries, the result is always the same: a ride that fits you perfectly.
Routes & Support
Routes & Support
From iconic climbs like Stelvio or Monte Grappa to quiet backroads only locals know, our routes are the perfect blend of beauty, challenge, must-see highlights, and hidden gems. With a guide by your side and full van support always close, you can simply relax, smile, and enjoy Italy at its best — one unforgettable ride after another.
Food & Wine
Food & Wine
The same care we put into planning the rides goes into curating every food and wine experience along the way. Because let’s face it: food is one of the best parts of a cycling day. On a typical tour day breakfast is a hearty feast to fuel the miles ahead, lunch an al fresco picnic in a stunning spot with plenty of homemade delicacies, and dinner can be anything from a cozy family trattoria to a private home-cooked meal or an elegant restaurant celebrating the best of regional cuisine. When you ride Italy with us, every table is as memorable as every ride.
Charming Stays
Charming Stays
For every tour we carefully select places with soul: boutique hotels in the Dolomites where you feel pampered after a big ride, family-run agriturismi in the Abruzzo countryside offering the warmest Italian hospitality, and lakeside villas overlooking Lake Como with views you’ll never forget. As with every part of the journey, the final choice of accommodation depends on your preferences, style, and budget — always authentic, always memorable.
