This five-night tour takes you up through the Appenines from Tuscany crossing into Emilia Romagna at around 1300m (4000ft) above sea level. The roads range from tight curves through to open sweepers with good visibility (although with a number of severe drops!). The tour starts with a minibus meeting you at Pisa airport and transporting you to the fleet of 749s. After a short ride to get to know the area, spend the first night in the Villa Corte Degli Dei on the edge of historic Lucca. From Lucca, a direct ascent into the Appenines and on to the home ground of Ferrari and Ducati (not to mention Maserati, Lamborghini and others).
This tour has little or no motorway riding and concentrates on good country roads. The riding on mountain tours (such as this) is more focused/high speed than some other tours, but pace will be based on the requirements of the group. Daily distances are not long but the roads can be hard work!
Some hotels have pools (although not all on this tour). All days move from one location to another so there is no 'rest' day.
There are trips to the impressive Galleria Ferrari and Ducati factory museum (entrance tickets included in the tour price).
All hotels are high quality traditional and full of character. All riders are given a private double room with their own bathroom. Passengers do share the rider's room.
The tour includes a group welcome meal and a group farewell meal (all food and drinks provided). All breakfasts are included. Lunches and remaining dinners are not included in the tour price.
