We're excited to partner with Skratch Labs and a few other great cycling brands on this year's ultimate cycling tour & gear giveaway. Up for grabs: more than $13,000 worth of prizes, including a trip for two on any 2025 departure of our 7-day Gravel Explorer: White Roads of Tuscany tour from Siena to Cortona. The "Strade Bianche" offer some of the finest gravel riding on the planet among one of the most-photographed landscapes in all of Italy.     Be sure to enter by September 10: https://lnkd.in/ge7q--im     And help spread the word! 

We were thrilled to have world-famous mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer join our self-guided bicycle tour in Italy’s Alpine Valleys in mid-July. He and his partner Heather Quiroga captured the joys of riding every day at their own pace and finding adventure at every turn. Perhaps most well-known for being the first blind person to summit Mt. Everest in 2001, Erik is now the first blind person to take an ExperiencePlus! self-guided tour.

One of our co-owners, Maria Elena, was featured on a few podcasts this month. Give them a listen below!

As a bicycle tour operator based in Italy and running tours throughout Europe, we think a lot about the impacts overtourism has on local communities and the travelers who seek to experience iconic destinations. That's one of the reasons we now offer self-guided bicycle tours in less crowded parts of Italy. This article in Drift shares some insights on how we're doing that in Tuscany: https://lnkd.in/gAxxEHGd

European dirt is headed your way! ExperiencePlus! will host a live webinar on Wednesday, June 26 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. (Mountain Time) to introduce its four "Gravel Explorer" tours in Croatia, Italy and Portugal. Learn about the tour style and itineraries from EP tour leaders and staff. Can't make the time? Register anyway and we'll send you a recording for later playback at your convenience.
