ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours, a trailblazer in cycling adventures and leader in active travel, recently launched a range of self-guided cycling trips in Italy that cater perfectly to multi-generational groups seeking unique and immersive experiences together. With a focus on flexibility, freedom, and authentic cultural encounters, with all the logistics taken care of (route mapping, accommodations, and luggage transfers) these trips offer an amazing blend of adventure and relaxation for families and groups of all ages.
Italy’s diverse landscapes and rich history provide an ideal backdrop for multi-gen travel, allowing participants to explore charming villages, rolling countryside, and historic sites at their own pace. These tours are designed to accommodate varying fitness levels and interests, making them accessible to everyone from leisure riders to seasoned cyclists. What’s more, ExperiencePlus! offers a range of options when it comes to equipment, offering both classic and hybrid road bikes, as well as e-bikes, tandem bikes, and even tagalongs for the youngest members of any group. An overview of the company’s European bike fleet can be found here.
“We are excited to introduce these new self-guided cycling trips in Italy, which offer a new way for families and groups to experience the beauty and culture of this incredible country,” says Maria Elena Price, co-owner of ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “These trips are perfect for multi-generational travel, as they allow each member of the group to enjoy the journey on their own terms, with riders often choosing different daily distances and difficulties – while some may opt to break for a leisurely lunch, riders seeking big climbs and longer days can take advantage of those options. The Dolomites, in particular, offer options where those with bigger appetites can taste the thrill of accomplishing a big climb.”
According to MMGY Global’s Portrait of American Travelers report, 40% of all active leisure travellers have taken at least one multi-generational trip over the last year.
“In today’s fast-paced world, travel is a wonderful way for people to get together with friends and family and enjoy some truly memorable quality time with one another,” continues Price. “Our self-guided cycling adventures cater perfectly to this, along with offering all the independence you want at a price that is very budget-friendly.”
