 Walking in Umbria
After 15 years of designing the most suggestive itineraries for two wheels, Bike Riders is happy to announce our first ever 3 day walking trip in Italy, with a new 3 day itinerary in Umbria. If by bike or on foot, with Bike Riders you can always enjoy one extra step of personal service, attention to detail, first rate comfort and, above all, a travel experience saturated with the locale.
Explore Umbria on leisurely walks through vineyards, along centuries old foot paths and into tiny hamlets frozen in time. We are tempted to linger in the villages, enjoy a cappuccino in the piazza, taste-test artisan olive oils and sip the local vino...a true slice of the Umbrian way of life. Located between Florence and Rome, among silver green olive trees, majestic Roman pines and sloping vineyards, Umbria is a region undiscovered by many. Home to mystical hill towns and magnificent fortresses, Umbria harks back to its powerful medieval days. As we walk through fabled towns and by frescoes and palaces of centuries past, Umbria promises an unforgettable taste of the Italian way of life.
