Rome to Civitavecchia: Warm-up Ride & Ferry to Sardinia
A scenic warm-up ride through the lakes and rolling countryside north of Rome. We stop at the charming town of Bracciano, famous for its volcanic lake and the imposing 15th-century Orsini-Odescalchi Castle, before winding through the wonderful Tuscia hills down to Civitavecchia to board the overnight ferry to Sardinia.
Olbia to Bari Sardo (Eastern Sardinia)
After disembarking, we head straight for the magnificent East Coast to tackle the legendary SS125 “Orientale Sarda”, one of Europe’s greatest motorcycle roads with flawless asphalt and endless curves. We pause for panoramic views at Capo Coda Cavallo, ride past Orosei, Dorgali, and Baunei, and arrive in Bari Sardo for our first night on the island.
Ogliastra Loop: A Region Suspended in Time

What Our Riders Say
Reviews from guests who have ridden with Italy Moto Tours.
We did the 10-day Tuscany, Sardinia and Corsica ride. Alessio was incredibly accommodating. He had very nice places to stay, very good places to eat. He went over the ride and generally what to expect. We weren’t rushed, and we rode the terrain according to our ability. He and Mario took great care of us. We had a breakdown on a motorcycle, and they had a new machine to me in about an hour. We shared 8 days together and are pleased to consider him a good friend. We would definitely recommend this tour, and if we are ever back in Italy, we would definitely ride with them again! Fantastic tour company! ❤️🇮🇹

This is my second tour with Alissio and Mario. Last year, I did the Sardinia-Corsica tour and was so impressed with all aspects of that tour. My friend Ed and I decided to book the late June Dolomites Tour. My expectations were only exceeded by the beauty and challenge of the routes selected. I have ridden with many tour operators, both international and domestic, and have a pretty fair appreciation of what to expect. Alessio is very good at providing detailed explanations and excellent at getting back to you with answers to questions. I highly recommend Italy Moto Tours.

I throughly enjoy the Sardinia tour with Alessio and Fabio as guides. They got us top motocycles and a great itinerary. They rode at a good pace and listened to what we had as feedback. The island was amazing, and we had great meals throughout. I would recommend this tour and the group to anyone who likes adventure on a motorcycle.
