"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 Rid Erevery Km group – 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 : Week 2 Experience Tour, 2018

"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!"

Jon - guest on our Giro d'Italia 2018, "Experience" Week 2 tour (Assisi to the Dolomites)

"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 to 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 life time, 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!”

Ashley, Giro d'Italia 2018: Week 2 "Experience" Tour (Assisi to the Dolomites)

"Cycling in Israel for the start of the 2018 Giro d’Italia was an amazing experience! GTP did a fantastic job arranging rental bikes, planning rides, and getting access to the race. It was a truly incredible to ride the TT course on closed roads in Jerusalem! The guides were wonderful and I would love the opportunity to ride with Grand Tours Project in the future. It was a fantastic way to experience both the excitement of the Giro and history and culture of Israel. I’m sure there will be another Grand Tours Project trip in my future!”

Wendy ,Giro d'Italia 2018: GrandePartenza "Experience" Tour (Israel)

"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.
