Giro d'Italia 2025 "Ride Every Kilometre" Tour

You will need to be a strong cyclist to achieve this challenge, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete … ours is a journey, not a race, and we’ll leave enough time on each day to enjoy our lunch breaks and photo stops. Once we conclude the stage every day, we’ll sit back and watch the race as the “fight for pink” takes place only a couple of hours after us.

There are very limited spaces on these tours – Guaranteeing maximum support and personalized attention to each guest, supported by multiple expert guides and drivers/mechanics. This small group will ride together and will always have the support vehicles close by – with drinks, snacks and dry clothing. Riding on the racecourse just a few hours before the pros, with the support of the crowds and our team, makes this an unforgettable experience.

Ride. Every. Kilometre. of each stage in the morning ahead of the professional racers. Yes really. Grand Tours Project has successfully run these tours for several years.

Choose from:

• Week 1 Albania and Southern Italy 12 days
  Start your adventure in Albania, a land of contrasts and rich history. Though just across the Adriatic from Italy, Albania remains an enigmatic destination. Once part of the Ottoman Empire, it endured decades of totalitarianism before emerging as a modern, secular, and increasingly prosperous nation. Its landscapes tell stories of past cultures – Greek, Roman, Turkish, and Russian – while its wild interior boasts rich biodiversity, including the Vjosa River, Europe’s first Wild River National Park.
  After exploring northern Albania, the challenge continues as we cross to Italy for Week 1 of the Giro d’Italia. The route combines flat, rolling, and mountainous stages, taking you through Puglia, the wild Apennines, and into Tuscany. This is your chance to test your fitness, push your limits, and discover an Italy you’ve never seen before – all with full support from Grand Tours Project.
• Week 2 Tuscany to Northern Italy 8 days
  The second week of the Giro d’Italia in 2025 entails an ITT from Lucca to Pisa, before the stages crossing from Ligurian coast over to the flat Lombardy, Veneto and Fruili-Venetian regions. This week still finds a mountain near Lucca on Stage 11 and finishes in the Asiago Prealps after passing over both Muro Ca del Poggio and Monte Grappa on the final stage of Week 2. Plus you will enter Slovenia to finish Stage 14 in Nova Gorica and we can guarantee that the finish there will be thunderous and never to be forgotten!
• Week 3 Italian Alps & Roma 8 days
  We’re offering the opportunity for fit amateur cyclists to Ride Every Kilometre of stages 16 – 21, on the same day as the race ahead of the caravan and pros. We’ll be riding through some beautiful and spectacular regions of Italy with a VIP Finish and Podium access along the route. Instead, the race route travels from the flat Veneto region into the Vicentine Alps and Trentino, through the All’Adige crossing over Tonale and the legendary Mortirolo into Bormio. Stage 18 is a ‘recovery day’ before the mountains loom up again in the French-influenced Valle d’Aosta. The final mountain day includes the Cima Coppi, Colle de Finstre and quite probably gravel for the final 7 km of the ascent! BUT one more ascent to finish the stage at Sestriere before a very flat ride in Rome for Stage 21.
