Come to experience some of the most incredible roads southern Italy has to offer, and discover our very own favourite establishments and secret spots. We’ll start with a delicious dinner in the capital of the old Empire, the mythical Rome, then via hills and shore reach one of the most famous live volcanos of Europe, the iconic Vesuvius. From there we’ll commence a real discovery of the extraordinary Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, and the beautiful Cilento National Park, before a final celebratory night in bustling Naples. Finally, we’ll blast back to Rome and fly home with memories to be cherished forever. Don’t be fooled by the kilometre count, this is a very entertaining trip filled with countless twisty roads, plenty stops for delicious food and wine, heritage and culture, and of course beautiful hotels and swimming.
As for all our tours, you can choose to follow the tour leader, or ride independently with our provided maps (and catch up with the group at the marvellous spots we plotted).

We’ll leave the city passing by the famous Colli Romani, then continue through the fabulous Lazio natural parks all the way to a lazy fish lunch on the coast. A sharpening of the senses with an espresso, and we’ll take on the last 200km fast along the coast until hour hotel at the feet of the Vesuvio. Authentic Neapolitan pizza dinner!
DAY 3 (02/10) 100 km: ‘THE AMALFI COAST’
A few kilometres via Herculaneum and Pompei and we’ll soon hit the first of the incredible panoramic roads overlooking the stunning and dramatic peninsula. Reaching Sorrento, we’ll continue to a ‘secret’ historical location on the peninsula for a dip in one of the most incredible swim spots. Refreshed and energised, we’ll be ready to take on the thrilling Amalfi coast for a truly brilliant ride with postcard views of the peninsula. We’ll lunch overlooking the sea, and then ride by Positano, Amalfi (perfect for ice cream and coffee stop), and finally reach our hotel on the lush coast.
DAY 4 (03/10) 210 km: ‘THE WILD CILENTO ROUTE’
We’ll leave the dreamy coast and head for the wild mountains of the Cilento National Park (UNESCO heritage site); little clogged by the masses of international tourists, and yet a fantastic example of the beauty of mother nature and history of humankind. From hills filled with olive trees to forests, and from old towns clinging onto rocks to churches dug into the mountain, you’ll experience Italy like you’ve never before (there will be several unique optional stops off the beaten tracks!). After an original lunch in the mountains, we’ll descend to the coast again to end our day atop the mythical Castellabbate, overlooking the beautiful Cilento bay.
DAY 5 (04/10) 150 km: ‘ROAD TO NEAPOLIS’
Down from Castellabbate, we’ll ride by the incredible ruins of the Greek city Poseidonia, home to one of the two best preserved Greek temples in the world, then head for a snack and full immersion into the world of mozzarella at one of the best producers of the region. Back on the Amalfi coast, we’ll split the peninsula climbing the exciting twisty road to the top of Monte Faito.
