Giro d'Italia - VIP Spectator Experiences

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 Premium 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, and many a photo of the pros.

There are 2 options:

‘Puccini’, which is located next to the Michelangelo: €120 per person, / (€185 Stage 1);

‘Michelangelo’, which is a tent next to the signing podium: €185 per person / (€245 Stage 1).

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 scream as the race approaches the line. The options:

Following the race in a car just behind the peloton is nearly as exciting as being in the race itself, but not quite 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 (cost €1,400 per person). Or you can follow one of your favourite pro cyclists in either of the two ITT stages - 7 or 14 (cost €670 per person). On some stages, a helicopter ride over the race is also offered (cost €1,890 per person, including the car experience). These packages also include the Start-Line and Finish-Line VIP Hospitality.

You too can ride across the finish line, just a couple of hours ahead of the pros, and then jump onto the podium for a wave to the cheering crowds! But at Grand Tours Project, we reserve this experience for those who are prepared to earn their stripes by joining us in one of our riding tours and cycle either the full stage ('Ride Every Kilometre') or 60-100km of the stage ('Experience' or 'Getaway'). So come join us for the ride of your lifetime, on 3, 6 or all 21 stages! If you have only one day for cycling with us, get in contact as you can join for 1 stage and cross the finish line with us.
