Italian Cycling Vacations

Giro d'Italia & Italian Granfondo

Discover YCI
Founders Bill and Anna Speckman and YCI's ride leaders are intimately familiar with our location in Italy's Veneto region and the nearby Dolomite mountains, and love to immerse our guests in everything the area has to offer: world class cycling routes, tasty food prepared with Italian pride, and beautiful landscapes and culture that most tourists pass over.

How YCI Works
Unlike some touring companies that shuttle you
from point to point, YCI is based from a single location near Bassano del Grappa. Our approach lets you maximize your riding time and explore more of the amazing back roads that make the Veneto Italy's true cycling mecca. We guide two or three different bike rides every morning , eat our meals together, and take you out for an optional activity or tour in the afternoon.

We stay in a newly constructed, three star hotel that has comfy, modern rooms and great food. You can come to YCI for as long as you like during our operating season from May through early October; most guests find that a week is a great introduction, and two weeks lets them really explore the area well.
