Giro d'Italia

In 2026, we’ll once again guide you through the best stages of this legendary race. We’ll cover the best stages of the race and ride 50–70/80 km each day in our “Experience”- Leisure tours. We’re also the experts in guiding passionate cyclists in riding the entire stages in our “Ride Every Kilometre” tours of this amazing race, on the same day as the event, just a few hours ahead of the pros. Join us for a cycling holiday of a lifetime at “the toughest race in the world’s most beautiful place – Italy”

Our Giro Tours have been a resounding success in recent years, leaving countless guests with smiles on their faces and dreams fulfilled.

Join us for the ultimate Giro d’Italia on one of our ‘Experience’ – Leisure tours, as we ride 50–70/80 km each day and witness the live stage each day. You will have more time to watch the race at the finish line, visit the VIP zones, enjoy poolside drinks at the hotel, and explore the village we’re staying in each evening.

With our ‘Ride Every Kilometre’ tours, we’re offering the opportunity to ride the entire route – every single kilometre. You can choose to ride a week-tour or all 21 stages. You will need to be a strong cyclist to achieve this challenge, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete … ours is a journey, not a race, and we’ll leave enough time on each day to enjoy our lunch breaks and photo stops. Once we conclude the stage every day, we’ll sit back and watch the race as the “fight for pink” takes place only a couple of hours after us.

There are very limited spaces on these tours – Guaranteeing maximum support and personalized attention to each guest, supported by multiple expert guides and drivers/mechanics. This small group will ride together and will always have the support vehicles close by – with drinks, snacks and dry clothing. Riding on the racecourse just a few hours before the pros, with the support of the crowds and our team, makes this an unforgettable experience.

Here's what our guests have to say about Giro trips

Giro D’Italia Grande Partenza "Experience" - Albania, 2025

It was the best trip I have taken in a long time. I enjoyed every bit of it. The leadership, communication, and support were outstanding. I was the slowest rider in the group and I never felt scared or lost confidence in riding every day and doing at my own pace and staying within my comfort level. Will certainly do another ride with this company soon!! Thank you very much to the team and Uri& Fatjon in particular for their support and encouragement!!

Bhoopal

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Tour Week 3, 2025

I enjoyed the experience. Met really nice people and riding was great. Thanks

Guy

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Tour Week 1, 2022

The guides and support staff were great. Very capable, friendly and never showed frustration when things go wrong as they will when following a Pro race.

John

Giro d'Italia Grande Partenza "Experience" Tour, 2018

“The wonderful group that gathered in Jerusalem for this event, It is a memory that I will always cherish. The team were so accommodating and friendly. A casual but warm atmosphere prevailed with a professional relaxed but organized team. I highly recommend Grand Tours and really enjoyed meeting such a great group of diverse cyclists and characters at the same time. I hope to one day again be part of a Grand Tours group.The photos you sent bring back a constant reminder of these warm memories.”

Wendy

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Tour Week 2, 2018

“What an experience!! Spending a week in Italy amongst the excitement of the spectacle that is the Giro – each day offering up something truly memorable in terms of terrain, difficulty (hail to the mighty Zoncolan!) and what many of us love so much about Italy, the food and wine. The Dolomites were a true highlight of the week. The team at GTP was brilliant and really enabled our small group to make the most of the experience; from getting close-up access to the race to making tweaks to the itinerary to get the best out of the day. Cudos to the RiderEveryKm group – an incredible effort. Huge thanks to Kerry, (our guide extraordinaire), Keith and the entire team at GTP for making it such an unforgettable experience.”

Jon

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Tour Week 3, 2022

I really enjoyed my grand tour project experience. Easily the best group I’ve ever ridden with and I would love to join in on a ride in some other far out part of the world.

Chris

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Tour Week 3, 2019

“What an experience!! Spending a week in Italy amongst the excitement of Giro 2019 Week 3 was a fabulous experience. Nothing compares to riding the Giro route the same day as the professionals. The crowds, the excitement, fantastic food, amazing destinations and the superb planning of the Grand Tours team make this an experience not to be missed for any cyclist looking for an adventure. Everything about the Giro, Italy and the Italians was amazing, but it was the meticulous attention to detail, hard work, passion and dedication of Uri leading the cyclists, with a superb crew of Joel and Fabio in the support vehicles that really brought this experience to the next level. I had to leave early, but upon departure immediately started planning for Giro 2020. Thanks, Uri and the team for an incredible adventure! If you are looking for an amazing cycling experience, look no further!”

Michael

Giro d´Italia "Experience" Week 3

“The week I spent riding across Italy with the Grand Tours Project team was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. The scenery was incredible, the riding was exceptional, and the company was second to none. Every detail of our trip was meticulously planned. We had the pleasure of residing in historic castles, enjoying incredible local cuisine, visiting local coffee stops in small villages, and immersing ourselves in the full Giro experience as we were up close and personal with the athletes each day. The riding was challenging, beautiful, and well-supported. Keith and his team ensured all of our needs were met and that no stone was left unturned. Friendships were built that will last a lifetime, I laughed until I cried, and this is an experience that has surpassed all others. A big THANK YOU to Grand Tours Project for making this a journey that we’ll never forget!”

Molly

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Sicily Escape, 2022

The guides were excellent, especially Andres and Elena. Hotels AND restaurants were exceptional. Guides were very helpful.

Rick

Giro d'Italia "Experience" Sicily Escape, 2022

Two things I appreciated of the guides (Alex, Elena, Davide and Pierpaolo) was 1. the many text messages keeping us posted on meeting-up times, dinner, etc. – this was much better than other tours. 2. Flexibility. Best example: on the last day we all stopped for coffee in Vibo Valenta. The plan was then to finish the day with lunch in Pizzo where the group would split up into two, get in the two vans, with those of us ending the tour shuttling to Lamezia Terme. Instead, after talking it over – riders and guides – we all decided to skip having lunch in Pizzo, bike another 30-35K up the road and see the Giro peleton passing through one last time. Then we biked another 12K up to Lamezia Terme for a late meal in a great little restaurant. (It was the right decision in the end. If we’d stuck with the original plan, we’d have ridden a somewhat disappointingly short day, missed seeing the Giro one last time and missed the restaurant in Lamezia Terme.)
