We are running two beginners weekend tours this season for riders who have less experience and have not toured in groups before. These long weekend trips will give exposure to the type of riding involved in our other trips but in a more relaxed manner. The spring weekend trip will be based in Tuscany and the winter weekend in Sicily for some late season sunshine. Both trips are centre-based with a single hotel for all nights of the tour (4 nights in total). Each day there will be guided tours on offer and the guide is happy to give riding tips, advice on safe road placement and general bike handling. Hotels are well equipped and offer comfort and a place to unwind after your day's riding. Spring WeekendThis 4 night beginners weekend tour is based at the country hotel 'La Camporena' in the heart of Tuscany's chianti region. The surrounding area is everyones image of Tuscany with rolling hills, vineyards, forests, olive groves and picturesque hilltop towns. The hotel provides a base for the whole trip. A basic itinerary (below) is offered. The meeting point is Pisa airport at 2.30pm on the start date of your tour (cheap flights are available from various UK airports to Pisa with Ryanair). If you cannot meet at this time, please contact us. The afternoon includes a 2 hour ride to the location of the hotel. All riders are provided with a radio based intercom for bike to bike communication, a route book and map. We advise all participants to bring a mobile phone that works in Italy. The hotel and the nearby town of Greve in Chianti provide an ideal location for our beginners weekend tour as it offers all the facilities you would expect and good access to this very picturesque area of Tuscany. For the first evening we have planned a group dinner (included in the tour price) in Greve. Each day of the riding center tour gives the riders exposure to riding in group and in an area that is very different to your home patch. Each day there is the option of joining our guide for daily circuits or for following their own route. We organise trips to local places of interest such as San Gimignano, Siena and Monteriggioni. We also offer tours according to clients' choice. Tell the guide where you would like to go and we will sort out an itinerary. For the last night a farewell dinner is organised (included in the tour price) in one of the finest restaurants of the town. Transport is provided The final morning bikes are returned to the DucatiTours' base and all participants are transported back to the airport. Winter WeekendThis 4 night beginners weekend tour is based at a resort hotel in Venetico Marina on the northern coast of Sicily. The hotel provides a base for the whole trip. A basic itinerary (below) is offered.
