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! ❤️🇮🇹

My wife and I took a motorcycle trip to Italy for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was AWESOME! Booked the trip through Italy Moto Tours, and it could not have been a smoother process. Alessio and Elvira were extremely easy to work with. They even helped us book extra hotels before/after the trip. I highly recommend this company if you want to ride motorcycles in Italy! Thank you!
