How physically demanding are the cycling tours in France?

Our cycling tours in Italy are categorized by difficulty: Easy, Moderate, or Challenging. We provide daily distances and elevation details so you can choose the right tour for you.

The best time for cycling in France is usually from April through October. However, in alpine areas like the Dolomites, May to September offers the best weather for bike tours. Italy's mild climate allows for pleasant rides even during the low seasons.

What should I do if the weather in Italy turns bad during my cycling trip?

We hope for sunshine, but the weather can be unpredictable. We recommend monitoring local forecasts regularly. On self-guided tours, you can adjust your schedule or take rest days if needed, although this may affect your itinerary.

Were in Slovenia over Easter and wanted to go on a mountain bike tour. Since our hotel didn’t have any bikes, we had to look for a provider locally. Luckily, Europe Wonder organized everything very well and we were able to enjoy our trip.

My mother wanted a weekend trip to Slovenia for her birthday. I don’t know much about Slovenia and so I turned to Europe Wonder. They planned the whole trip and organized everything. On the first day we went on a bike tour on the really beautiful Lake Bled (highly recommended) and on the second day we went to the capital Ljubljana. My mother found the experience unforgettable. Europe wonder took us to exactly the right places and restaurants and organized everything we needed. Highly recommended for stress-free travel!

Absolutely loved my day in Ljubljana with Europe Wonder 🙂 It was my first time in Slovenia and I honestly didn’t expect Ljubljana to be this beautiful. I booked the “Food and Culture of Ljubljana” experience and it really exceeded my expectations. From tasting local dishes and wines to exploring the city’s streets and ending the day with dinner at the castle – everything was just perfectly organized. Super happy I did this – it was the perfect introduction to the country. I’d recommend it to anyone coming to Slovenia for the first time!!
