    The boat accomodations were good, small cabins but had everything I needed. Water pressure and temperature for showers was excellent. The crew was friendly and helpful. Food was top notch. The guides were fun, knowledgeable and looked out for our safety.

    Asked on February 13th, 2024

    How is the best way to get to Mantua (without a car) from Ravenna and Bologna and would I easily get to the international airport at that end?

    Flights / Transfers
    Transport
    • Girolibero - Cycling holidaysOperator•Written February 2024

      The best way to get to Mantua from there is the train or the bus. If you want to start the tour in Mantua you will finish that in Venice, so if your flight is from there you will be fine with a taxi or shuttle. If your flight is from other airports, the best option is the train again. Unfortunately I do not have availability in September for this tour. We have availability between end of June and August, plus some cabins in October.
