Highlights

A fascinating journey by bike and boat across the Po Valley between Mantua, the pearl of the Renaissance, and Venice. Follow the course of the two important Italian rivers Mincio and Po, discovering unusual villages with rhythms now forgotten. After passing Ferrara, a bike-friendly city between Bologna and Venice, you can marvel at the sight of the Po Delta, where the roads are lost among reed beds and fishing valleys. The Venice lagoon begins in the little village of Chioggia: enjoy the view of the Serenissima (the traditional name of the ancient Republic of Venice) from your comfortable riverboat.

 

  • The historic center of Mantua, a Renaissance jewel to be discovered
  • The fishing valleys of the Po Delta, where you can't tell the water from the sky
  • The thrill of arriving or departing from Venice by sea, like the ancient travelers

What awaits you

The bike week takes place mainly on the Po River plains, on paved bike paths along rivers and canals, or on quiet country roads. The navigation is guaranteed all year round along the waterways parallel to the Po river.

The boat is moored at night and usually moves after breakfast. Some parts of the route take place by boat, to allow easier access to the bike paths or simply to enjoy the sailing.

This tour can either be self-guided or guided: choose to cycle at your own pace using our detailed App, or with the whole group following the tour leader.

Accommodation

7 overnights aboard a riverboat: a real floating hotel ready to follow you during the biking stages and welcome you aboard in the evening. The atmosphere is comfortable and is designed down to the smallest detail to ensure you have an unforgettable stay. At dinner and in moments of relaxation, our chefs accompany you in a whirlwind of flavors and aromas, taking care of the preparation of traditional local dishes. Cabins have private bathrooms and air conditioning.

Che bella scoperta!!! Non avevo mai pensato e fatto una vacanza che proponesse: viaggio, pernottamento, colazione e cena in barca lungo i canali tra Mantova e Venezia e il giro "guidato" in bicicletta su percorsi alla scoperta di paesi/città ma, sopratutto alla scoperta delle campagne della bassa pianura Padana, della foce del Po e delle due isole fronte mare che limitano la laguna Veneta. Il tutto condito da una nave accogliente, silenziosa, pulita, con aria condizionata nelle cabine e nel salone. Un albergo galleggiante. Non ché, uno splendido equipaggio formato dal Capitano Jano, Motorista Francesco, dagli Chefs Alberto & Esther e dalle Tour Leaders Elena & Licia. Persone disponibilissime e attente alle richiesta degli ospiti, sempre con il sorriso. Eccezionale il cibo cucinato a bordo, curato con professionalità e passione, con ottime materie prime e con dettagli che fanno la differenza. Le guide precise e professionali nello spiegare, agli ospiti, i tours e i luoghi attraversati in bicicletta e non. Tutto è diretto alla cura e alla soddisfazione dell'ospite. Complimenti.
