View full itineraryThis destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866-464-8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Verona, Italy
A town rich in history and culture, Verona is a gem of northern Italy. Celebrated by Shakespeare, who made it famous as the romantic setting for Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a splendid, ancient corner of the Veneto region, nestled between the river Adige and Lake Garda, and intimately linked to their waters. You’ll find plenty of attractions to keep you occupied in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Escalus Luxury Suites
The exclusive choice of those seeking elegance, sublime attention to detail, and a refined welcome, this boutique hotel is just a stone’s throw from the Arena and Piazza Bra. www.escalusverona.com
Hotel Accademia
An historic mansion dating to the late 16th century, this elegant hotel is located in the center of Verona. Well placed on the via Mazzini, in the center of Verona’s exclusive shopping district, this hotel is conveniently positioned between Piazza Bra, the Arena, and Erbe Square with Giulietta’s House (inspiring Romeo and Juliet) and its legendary balcony. www.hotelaccademiaverona.com
Hotel Indigo Verona - Grand Hotel Des Arts
A unique boutique hotel that combines authentic local experiences, modern design, and personalized service. Located in the Cittadella neighborhood, it’s very close to the rail station but also all Verona’s signature landmarks. www.hotelindigo.com
Venice, Italy
Whether you’ve never been to Venice or have been there 20 times, there’s always something new to discover. Indeed, even the most seasoned visitors get lost in the city’s labyrinthine network of islands, bridges, pedestrian alleys, and canals. And therein lies the beauty of the destination: afternoons spent wandering from palace to piazza, exploring the small art museums, shopping the stalls that line the streets, and encountering a fresh side of Venice, a fascinating amalgamation of influences—Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Italian—every time you round a corner. The UNESCO World Heritage site comprises the city of Venice and its lagoon situated in the Veneto Region of northeast Italy. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest building contains works by some of the world’s greatest artists. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Oltre Il Giardino
The house, which once belonged to Alma Mahler, a composer’s widow who lived there in the 1920s, lies next to a small canal just a stone’s throw from the Church of the Frari and has now been turned into an exclusive but home-like retreat. This enchanting place in the heart of Venice offers something unique to those visiting the city. Having only six rooms, it is quite like a guest house, but with the utmost focus on luxury. The garden, with its olive trees, magnolia, and pomegranate, is an oasis of peace and tranquility, and it provides the possibility to relax amidst its green and embrace well being. www.oltreilgiardino-venezia.com
Hotel Antiche Figure
This quaint hotel occupies a fabulous 15th-century palazzo overlooking Venice’s Grand Canal, adjacent to an ancient Gondola workshop. The hotel takes its name from the Renaissance frescos of "antique figures" that once adorned its facade. This historic setting provides the perfect venue from which to explore and to experience the true Venice and the perpetual dialogue between present and past, ancient and modern. Conveniently located across from the railway station and water taxis, it’s also within walking distance to most points of interest. www.hotelantichefigure.it

In the romantic atmosphere of the Bacino Orseolo, you’ll discover this charming boutique hotel, Hotel Dòna Palace. Enjoy luxury accommodation with refreshingly intimate, quiet ambiance only steps away from St. Marks Square overlooking a canal. www.donapalace.it

Trek Travel guides are dedicated to making moments that last a lifetime, and we invite you to thank them with a trip gratuity. These are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. For this Pro Race trip, we recommend $490-$560 per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience.
Like everything else about your vacation, the Trek Travel team is here to make this experience easier for you. While local currency is preferred, you may also tip through the following options:
Via PayPal (please have this account set up in advance when possible) or with your guest services representative on the phone before or after the trip.
Gratuities will be divided among the guide team, so feel free to leave your gratuity with whomever you choose at the end of your trip.
You cannot put a price on a wow. But you can show your thanks for an exceptional experience.
