We want to do a SELF GUIDED trip that STARTS in Parma and ENDS in Bologna the last week of September - potentially the 24th or 25th. Is that possible?

To date I'm not able to confirm a departure date for the Guided Tour Culinary wonders in Emilia Romagna for the month of July. For this self guided tour we already have people booked on the departures of 17th and 19th September. In our Self guided tour classic version you'll meet our staff on your arrival day at the booked hotel for a welcome briefing and bike fitting.

We took this 5 day self-guided tour with another couple from Bologna to Parma in early April. It was absolutely fantastic! (Gorgeous countryside, Parmigiano Reggiano & balsamic vinegar tours so interesting, food & activity recommendations spot on). Cycle Europe staff was incredibly organized, responsive, consistent and kind. The hotels they booked for us were wonderful - their locations with great walking access to the best of each city. The bikes were in perfect condition, GPS directions clear, and luggage transport was smooth. I highly recommend this company and would book them again in a heartbeat!

Great route for recreational cyclists. Accommodation was great, except for one stay. Rental bicycles (ebike and titanium hybrid) were in very good mechanical shape. Luggage transport occurred flawlessly. Overall, an excellent trip, which greatly reduced our need for trip planning for the week!
