You don't need to be on your bike to enjoy the passion, excitement and spectacle of the Giro d'Italia. As an Official Tour Operator of the Giro, we can also offer VIP Spectator (non-rider) experiences, from the start-line and finish-line VIP zones, to following the peloton in a car or helicopter. Join us for an extraordinary experience, right in the action.
You may wish to bring your non-riding partner to the Giro on one of the tours you’re cycling. Or you may be a non-cyclist who wants to see the Giro up close and personal. Either way, we can offer you or your partner some extraordinary experiences as a spectator.
Pick your stage – do you wish to be at the start line of the Giro d’Italia? Or do you wish to be right at the finish line at the top of the big mountain stages? Or would you like to follow the pros in a car as the peloton climbs over a famous col? And at all times being treated as a VIP?
Your personal and exclusive accreditation badge will be available for you at the Giro desk situated near the start or finish areas on the day of the race.
Please note that this is for a VIP ticket only and does not include hotel accommodation or transport.
The teams participating in Giro d’Italia march in front of the crowds in a spectacular show event that fills the city hosting the Big Start with passion. Champions from all countries are introduced before fighting on the road. The hospitality area is located in a privileged viewing position with non-stop bar service.
Special entry with our Tour Operator badge.
Cost: €120 per person.
In the late morning, just before the stage start, the pros gather to sign into the race on the signature podium. This VIP package allows you to watch the spectacle as all the pros sign in, and then mingle with them as they relax before their big day of riding. There may even be the opportunity to grab an autograph or two, possibly photos with the teams and pros.
There are 2 options:
‘Puccini’, which is located next to the Michelangelo: €185 per person Stages 1-3, / €120 per person Stages 4-21;
‘Michelangelo’, which is a tent next to the signing podium: €245 per person Stages 1-3, / €185 per person Stages 4-21.
See the race as it climaxes each day, with the best possible viewing. This package gives you access to the exclusive Giro Club hospitality area at the finish line with drinks, finger food and large TV screens to follow the race. Mingle with former stars of the Giro and hear their stories of past glory as you sip prosecco. Then join in the rapturous cheering as the race approaches the line. The options:
‘Raffaello’ tent, situated around 300m from the finish line:
‘Leonardo’, an air-conditioned truck next to the finish line:
‘Giro VIP Arrival Lounge’ – only available at Stage 21.
“Drive Experience” – following the race in a car just behind the peloton is nearly as exciting as being in the race itself, but not as exhausting. This package allows you to follow the stage in an official Giro car, as it races along the course with the crowds inches away. Includes access to the Start Area Hospitality, a boxed lunch, and access to the Hospitality Truck Leonardo at the finish.
Cost: €1,400 per person for all stages (not available for stage 2).
“Chrono Experience” – follow one of your favourite pro cyclists in either of the two ITT stages – 2 or 10. Includes access to the Start Area Hospitality and access to the Hospitality Truck Leonardo at the finish line.
Cost: €670 per person for stages 2 & 10.
“Drive & Fly Experience” – on some stages, a helicopter ride over the race is available. Includes access to the Start Area Hospitality, a boxed lunch, a VIP car ride during the race and helicopter flight; plus access to the Hospitality Truck Leonardo at the finish.
Cost: €1,890 per person per stage for stages 6-9, 15-17, 19 & 20.
You too can ride across the finish line just a couple of hours ahead of the pros and step onto the podium to wave to the cheering crowds! At Grand Tours Project, we reserve this experience for those who earn their stripes by joining one of our riding tours – whether by cycling at least three full stages in our ‘Ride Every Kilometre’ tour or participating in one of our ‘Experience’ tours. Join us for the ride of a lifetime, and let’s cross the finish line together!
