Bicycling Venice to Florence with ExperiencePlus!Tour Duration :
8 Days  Day 1:
We meet today at our hotel on the Lido of Venice, where we'll fit bicycles this afternoon. Then, you're free to go out for a ride, take a quick trip into Venice for a look around (our hotel is just 10 minutes by vaporetto from Piazza San Marco) or relax on the beach at the hotel cabana. We'll have a welcome dinner at a small trattoria in Venice this evening. Day 2: We leave Venice today and head south along the Lido. The Lidos of Venice and Pellestrina protect the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. We take two ferries on our way to Chioggia, at the south end of the lagoon. Enjoy lunch on your own in Pellestrina or in Chioggia and continue south to Contarina in the Po delta. (For those who want some extra mileage, there's a great ride into the delta area from our hotel!) Dinner together this evening. Mileage: 58 km (36 miles). Day 3: We pedal south to Mesola this morning and through the Po Delta to the beaches of Comacchio. Have pizza, a sandwich or the local favorite, piadina, on your own for lunch. There's time this afternoon for a swim in the Adriatic Sea and bocce ball on the beach or simply to relax by the pool. We'll suggest some great restaurants for dinner on your own this evening. (Today, too, there are some optional loops along the levees of the Po River or out into the delta for those who would like more mileage!) Mileage: 70 km (44 miles). Day 4: We'll pedal to Ravenna this morning, where we'll have plenty of time to visit Dante's Tomb and the famous mosaics of San Vitale, Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Our hotel is near all the city sights. Dinner together. Mileage: 55 km (34 miles). Day 5: We'll stop at the church of Sant'Apollinare in Classe this morning before heading to the farm for a picnic lunch and tour of the peach orchard and vineyards. Paola's family has cultivated this land for more than 100 years! From there, we'll pedal on to Faenza, where you can visit some of the town's world famous ceramics' shops this afternoon. We'll have dinner together this evening. Mileage: 55 km (34 miles). Day 6: We head into the Apennines today, and you'll have a choice between relaxing, riding, or relaxing some and then riding. Those wanting a day off the bikes can spend a leisurely morning shopping in Faenza before catching the train to tonight's destination in Ronta. Others will want to pedal the whole route over the Apennines. Whichever you choose, this is a great day! Dinner together this evening. Mileage: 0-68 km (0-42 miles). Day 7: There's a small climb this morning to Vetta la Croci, then we glide downhill to the old Etruscan city of Fiesole, where we'll enjoy a great view of Florence rising from the valley floor. We'll ride into town together, but the rest of the afternoon is yours to explore this capital of Renaissance Italy. Our hotel in Florence lies on the banks of the Arno River, just two blocks from the Uffizi Gallery. Mileage: 42 km (26 miles).
After a buffet breakfast in the hotel, you're ready to become a normal tourist again! You're on your own now, so get out there and visit Michelangelo's David, the Uffizi Gallery, and more. Have a great trip! Total Mileage: 280-348 km (175-217 miles)
