Ciociaria Gourmet Cycling Tours
Co-hosted in partnership with Australian cycling tour operator, Colin Bransgrove of Bespoke Cycle Tours and local Italian professional cyclists, BikeXtreme.
Since 2024, Antica Travel Co. has developed and hosted a series of incredible food, wine and culture cycling itineraries in collaboration with our on-ground cycling specialists and Australian tour partner. We were the first international tour operator in Ciociaria to bring cycling guests from Australia & New Zealand [and one of the only international cycling tour operators in the region].
Our unique cycling itineraries through the Valle di Comino and Apennine mountains of Ciociaria, with intimate access to local producers, vignerons and artisans and historic sites along the way plus the superior quality of bikes and personalisation of all cycling equipment for our guests through the high-level service provided by Loreto & Mario of BikeXtreme places us firmly ahead of the pack.

Italian Lifestyle Immersion
“I have been on a bicycle holiday in Italy five or six times before with various local providers. This Ciociaria experience was head and shoulders above any previous ones - and in this, I include the standard of the bikes, the quality of the eating and food experiences, the excursions, and the unheard of joy of hardly any tourists and very little traffic!”
