It’s all there in your snaps: the ins and outs of a bike
holiday – as it is: fun, chilled, the discoveries,
encounters, the unexpected, the flavours, comfort,
friendship, family… Thank you so much for sharing
them with us and with the bike buddies who’ve yet
to go on their adventure: we just loved them!

       WHAT’S
      THE RUSH?
                          Since this is a holiday and not a race,
                     there’s all the more reason to enjoy your stops
                     and breathe in the country air, deep and slow.

      The secret ingredient for a fab
      holiday? – Great food.
      (Well, that’s what we reckon
      in Italy – and anywhere else,
      actually, judging from your pics
      of best-loved dishes!)

      HISTORY
      That look of contentment, at the
      end of the day, in the shadow of a
      castle, country villa, palazzo,
      ancient church, all speaking of
      bygone days and ways – and all still
      alive thanks to your photos.

       TRASGRESSIONS
       Let’s get this out of the way:
       choosing gelato flavours poses a
       moral dilemma.
       So our tip is why stop at the usual
       2 scoops? You deserve it.
       (And no guilt trips either.)

       AT YOUR OWN PACE
       The beauty of going self-guided:
       you stop if and when you want, for
       as long as you want. Just make sure
       you set your alarm: there’s another
       comfy room waiting at the end of
       your ride.
       Fancy some extra comfort?
       Why not ask us to tailor your tour
       for you – perhaps your

       WATERWAYS
       There was a time when
       artists’ easels would clutter
       the banks of the Seine.
       We have long been won over
       by the tranquility of a river
       and those sunsets, and we
       love adding new Bike and
       Barge tours to our brochure.

       The backdrop’s the bell tower of

       domes of Santa Maria della Salute
       on the Grand Canal.
       In the foreground: aperitivo time
       aboard Vita Pugna, with the most
       spectacular views you could dream.
       But Venice on our Bike and Barge
       tour isn’t simply a backdrop:
       you spend two nights here, with
       ample time to explore the nooks
       and crannies.

       WESTMINSTER
       What a Wow Factor when you get
       there! Twice as high if you’ve set
       off from the Eiffel Tower.
       The Avenue Verte cycleway was
       inaugurated with the London
       Olympics in 2012 and soon became
       one of the classic European bike
       routes.

       DIRECTIONS
       There are tours where the
       signposting, frankly, can be happily
       ignored: stately homes and castles
       soon tell you where you are:
       Palladio’s “Rotonda” villa?
       Benvenuti to Vicenza! Clos-Lucé
       manor? Bienvenue to Amboise!
       The Leaning Tower? – No points
       for guessing...

       THANKS, MUM
       The Gothic towers and spires of
       Tours Cathedral only materialised
       centuries after the first stone was
       laid. It may seem like centuries
       before that “thank you” from your
       children, but you can count on one
       thing: if they aren’t too excited
       about your travel photos now,
       the day will come!

       SURVIVAL
       Your travel buddies surely
       understand: all spare kit and
       K-ways must go into their saddle
       bags. You need space in yours for
       the picnic. (And it’s only fair that
       you should travel light after
       lunch...)

       ART
       There’s some everywhere, and
       you’ll soon find yourself parking
       your bike in the unlikeliest corners,
       camera in hand, nose in the air,
       snapping at your latest discovery.
       Such as in the Carrières des
       Lumières, a former quarry in the
       heart of Provence, alive with
       projections and sounds that draw
       you into the masterpiece.

       which you would not see by hiking or driving. It is a good compromise to         crossings: the simplicity of a bike, moving with discretion and freedom – yet
       cover distance and “feel” the landscape. People you meet when biking are         also power and speed – it just makes it so easy. To cycle is to be! To cycle is
       very supportive and helpful. They have respect for your undertaking.             to see things from a different angle.

       Thank you for another wonderful trip, Bolzano to Venice this time. This          A great itinerary, with so much to see! We loved riding through forests,
       was a beautiful tour and Rachel and I really appreciated the many direction      countryside and cornfields; exploring tiny villages far from the cities,
       signs along the way, detailed maps, excellent accommodation, and friendly        forgetting time, and coming across castles and enchanted woods. It was
       and helpful bag delivery service. Your organisation is impressive!               wonderful to enjoy it as a family, buy a baguette, some cheese – and then:
       We look forward to coming back for another trip some day!                        off to the next place!

                       A gang of bike buddies who enjoy their fitness
                          – and the Bike and Barge was just right

       BEAT
       Each town has its own: whether it’s
       marked by columns, signs and shop
       windows, or the footsteps – brisk
       or unrushed – of someone walking
       through the historic centre.

       day’s ride: time to enjoy a stroll in

       THE SEAS
       A coastal route calls for a good dip
       or two along the trail.
       Perhaps even on the Salento
       peninsula, where an original
       mobile bar provides the drinks.

       APERITIVO
       After a day or two in Italy, you’ll
       soon tell the difference between an
       Aperol-spritz and a Campari-spritz.
       And you’ll know which of the two
       has the same colour as your
       Girolibero bike.

       WELL-BEING
       Cycling is low-impact and good for
       fitness, weight loss, legs, mind,
       lungs, heart, sleep, immune
       system... (need we go on?).

       THE LOCAL BOTTEGA
       The humblest neighbourhood will
       usually have a bottega or two –
       whether it’s an artisan or a deli
       selling local specialities.
       And if your provisions start
       weighing you down, it’s time for
       that picnic!

       BACK TO YOUR
       CHILDHOOD
       A spin on a carousel and that scent
       of sugared almonds and candyfloss:
       from spring through to late
       summer, countless Italian villages
       and towns lay on a rich festa in
       piazza.

       YES, BUT IS IT ART?
       Bikes are always perfectly tuned
       and primed before being handed
       over to you – whether straight
       from our HQ workshops or our
       bases around Europe: that too is
       Art! (Well, perhaps our Leonardo,
       on the Loire Castles tour, takes that
       a bit too literally.)

       UP FOR A
       CHALLENGE?
       So much more than just valley-
       floor bikeways. On Girolibero
       Roadbike tours you also get the
       serious climbs and stretches, best
       suited to the sportier cyclist on a
       drop-bar bike. Think: the Giro,
       Dolomites, the pavé of Flanders,
       the Alps of the Tour de France,
       the Eroica’s White Roads...

       OUR
       BARGES
       Girolibero fleet
       We have been running Bike and
       Barge tours since 1998, starting
       with the Netherlands. Ten years
       later we shipped the Bike and
       Barge formula over to Italy,
       sailing with our two local boats:
       Vita Pugna and Ave Maria.
       Equally romantic and ever-
       popular, the Caprice and L’Estello
       are our barges plying the route in
       Provence-Camargue.

       Comfy cabins with en-suite           1-
       facilities, scrumptious food on
       board, relaxing lounges and
       sundecks: by river boat standards,        1 - Ave Maria   2 - Vita Pugna
       our barges are small-scale and
       much cosier.
       They can also take you into the
       heart of the cities and nature       2-
       parks, where large vessels and
       groups are not allowed.

       Crew
       Whilst professional and efficient,
       they soon become your travel              3 - L’Estello   4 - Caprice
       buddies too, welcoming you on        3-
       board and sharing the family
       atmosphere that comes natural on
       a barge.
