Welcome Riders!
The Amalfi Coast and Southern Italy tour includes 4 riding days.
Riding on 2 wheels through the chic Mediterranean towns of Amalfi, Positano & Ravello is unforgettable.
And once the sun has set, pulling off your boots and relaxing in a four star hotel, eating great food, enjoying superb wine, and exploring what the local night-life has to offer.
Enrico Grassi, Tour Leader and Founder of Hear the Road has spent many hours discovering the riding routes and the extraordinary hospitality to leave you with a holiday adventure you will always remember with a smile.
The tour starts and ends in Rome, which allows easy planning to extend your visit to this fabulous city should you want to.
Where We Ride – What We See – What We Hear
-
From the airport you will be transferred by private car to your hotel. Here you will find Enrico, your Hear The Road host, ready to warmly welcome you to Italy.
Late morning or early afternoon arrival is recommended.
After settling in your room and freshening up, we will be waiting for you in the hotel bar for a “Meet and Greet” amongst tour colleagues. We’ll then go and pick up the bikes and bring them back to the hotel garage.
Once back at the hotel Enrico will give a general briefing of the tour, and will be happy to answer any questions.
We are now ready to go out for our “Welcome Dinner” during which you’ll learn more about what to expect in the exciting upcoming week.

We leave Rome heading east towards Subiaco where we stop to visit the Abbey of Saint Benedict.
Back on the bikes we ride the narrow scenic road that brings us to Jenne (passing through many natural tunnels dug into the mountain!), and then to Guarcino, where we stop for our first lunch on the road.
Then, with our batteries re-charged, we are ready… for a great plunge towards the Mediterranean Sea.
We reach Sperlonga just in time to admire the sun setting in the sea while we drink our Italian aperitif to celebrate our first great day on the challenging roads of Southern Italy.
OVERNIGHT IS IN SPERLONGA.Highlights:
Abbey of Saint Benedict, Ciociaria Region, Sperlonga.

We leave Sperlonga heading South towards Pompei where we stop to visit this famous archaeological site. Pompei is one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization, and, like an open book, provides outstanding information on the art, customs, trades and everyday life of the past.
Back on the bikes we head South again to reach the Costiera Amalfitana.
OVERNIGHT IS IN RAVELLO.Highlights:
Visit of Pompei, Amalfi Coast, Ravello.

Today we fall in love with the colors and the fragrances of the Costiera Amalfitana.
A day of pure pleasure: riding on the dramatic coastline roads; having lunch on a beautiful terrace facing the sea at Marina di Cantone; shopping in beautiful city of Positano; drinking an aperitif while sitting at the table of a characteristic bar, waiting for the sun to set into the sea.
But there is also time to visit the Factory of the Pasta in Gragnano, where they still make Pasta following old traditions… What else?
