Pedal your way across Italy’s magnificent landscape — and do it at your own pace on one of these self-guided tours offered by ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. Besides pedaling, the only thing you need to do is enjoy the journey. The pros at ExperiencePlus! will handle the details, from where you’ll sleep and how your luggage will be transferred, right down to mapping your route.

Bespoke planning can accommodate a variety of fitness levels and personal interests, whether you’re a daily cyclist, leisure pedaler or a pro. There’s even a selection of cycling equipment to choose from that includes classic and hybrid road bikes, electric e-bikes, tandems and tagalongs.

“We are excited to introduce these new self-guided cycling trips in Italy, which offer a new way… to experience the beauty and culture of this incredible country,” said Maria Elena Price, co- owner, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “These trips… allow each member of the group to enjoy the journey on their own terms, with riders often choosing different daily distances and difficulties — while some may opt to break for a leisurely lunch, riders seeking big climbs and longer days can take advantage of those options. The Dolomites, in particular, offer options where those with bigger appetites can taste the thrill of accomplishing a big climb.”

Tours to choose from include Cycling Cortona to Siena, which takes in Southern Tuscany’s UNESCO World Heritage Landscape; the Heartland of Italy’s Homemade Pasta tour, exploring Medici family history and the Renaissance town of Terra del Sole in the Romagna region; the Taste of Italy culinary adventure to learn the secrets of creating Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar; a Cortina to Bolzano tour to experience South Tyrolean culture and the legendary Dolomites; exploring medieval villages on Umbria – Cycling the Green Heart of Italy; and cycling winding paths through the villages in Italy’s stunning lakes region on the Italy’s Alpine Valleys – Sud Tyrol, Lake Garda and Verona tour.

Indulge in a Wellness Retreat at Amingiri Spa in the Maldives

A breeze tousles my hair, the sun warming my body as I walk across a bridge over the clear cerulean water sparkling in the sunlight. A peaceful quiet surrounds me, and I feel the tension of everyday life and long travel days slip away. My mind and body are already relaxed as I walk into Amingiri Spa’s open-air reception area at Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa. After checking in, I follow my dedicated spa attendant over another bridge and into the overwater bungalow in which I will enjoy my treatment.

Tours Reveal Jerusalem’s Paradox as an Old City Shaped by New Ideas

Despite the current situation in Israel, Jerusalem’s biggest draws remain the buildings, landmarks and archaeological sites going back hundreds to thousands of years. Israeli tech companies and cultural institutions between 2020 and 2022 implemented high-tech features to breathe new life into Old City walking tours and make the hallowed sites even more accessible, sustainable and enriching ... even for the repeat visitor and for when the modern-day tourist returns. Other tours reflect the role small businesses play in making Jerusalem’s lifestyle innovative and modern.
