* Todas as distâncias são aproximadas. O itinerário planejado acima está sujeito a alterações devido a mudanças nas condições de vento e clima, e outras circunstâncias imprevistas que tenham relação com os requisitos de atracação, etc.
DIA 1: Chegada em Bolzano.
A capital bilíngue do Tyrol do Sul. Tyrol é um renomado centro comercial e turístico com a rica história. Hoje em dia as culturas e estilos de vida italianos e austríacos se juntam. O centro histórico de Bolzano ostenta uma encantadora beleza.
DIA 2: Bolzano- Trento, 44 mi (70 km)
Pedalando por ciclovias você segue o Rio Adge lado a lado com pomares de maçãs, vinhedos e através das vilas de Ora, Egna e Salomo. Você pedala ao longo das margens do rio em direção a Trento. Esta cidade se esconde para o turista apressado, portanto com calma olhe por trás das esplêndidas paredes dos seus edifícios pintados. Você descobrirá algo que realmente vale a pena ver.
DIA 3: Trento- Desenzano / Peschiera, 29 mi. (50 km) + passeio de balsa
Ainda pedalando ao longo do Rio Adige, você chega a Roveredo e Mori. De lá você continua subindo uma ladeira com inclinação suave no sentido oeste na direção do Lago Garda (o maior na Itália). Antes de partir para Riva você deve, lá de cima, desfrutar a vista do lago! De barco você viajará até Peschiera del Garda ao longo da margem sul do lago. Apenas a excursão de barco já é o suficiente para fazer valer toda a viagem.
DIA 4: Desenzano / Peschiera - Mântua, 28-44 mi. (45-70 km). Chegada em barco em Mântua.
A distância depende de onde você começa seu ciclismo. Hoje você vai pedalar seguindo uma das mais famosas ciclovias da Itália, que segue em paralelo ao Rio Mincio. Você passará pela vila de Borghetto com seus moinhos e Valeggio sul Mincio famoso por seu enorme jardim botânico “Sigutà”.
A viagem termina em Mântua, onde o seu hotel flutuante para a próxima semana está atracado em Porto Catena, a uma curta caminha do centro da cidade. Suas cabines estarão disponíveis às 16:00 horas. O encontro com o seu guia e com a tripulação está agendado para a hora do jantar, aproximadamente às 18:30 horas.
Mântua é uma das mais belas cidades no norte da Itália, onde muitos dos artistas conhecidos mundialmente deixaram suas obras-primas, graças à famosa família Gonzaga.
DIA 5: Mântua ida e volta, 22 mi. (35 km)
Dia dedicado a conhecer esta cidade maravilhosa e seus arredores.
DIA 6: Mântua- Zelo, 32 mi. (50 km)
Após o café da manhã, você sai dos "lagos" de Mântua e navega pelas exuberantes zonas úmidas que levam à Governolo, onde o rio Mincio, em Mântua, deságua no Pó. A partir daqui, de bicicleta, você segue as amplas varandas do dique em direção a Ostiglia, conhecida por sua fortaleza medieval e combates ferozes em 1945, enquanto os Aliados recuavam as forças de Hitler. Seguinte: Bergantino, sede do distinto Museu de Passeios de Feiras e sua coleção de órgãos de rua, todos habilmente restaurados!. Esta vila também fica no coração de Grana Padano, o arqui-rival do parmesão. Uma visita à fábrica de queijos local, degustando alguns Grana bem temperados é um must-do. Você encontra a barcaça em Zelo, uma vila sonolenta no Canal Bianco, a via navegável paralela ao Pó.
DIA 7: Zelo/Ferrara - Adria, 32 mi. (50 km) e 60 km de ônibus
Logo após o café da manhã você começará a pedalar em direção a Ferrara. Assim que chegar na cidade que conquistou o nome de “Cidade das Bicicletas”, você vai se encantar com o centro histórico, ainda cercado pelas muralhas da cidade antiga. De Ferrara, um curto translado de ônibus levará você à Adria, um antigo porto grego, famoso por comercializar âmbar vindo do Báltico.
DIA 7: Zelo - Ferrara - Adria, 32 mi. (50 km) e 60 km de ônibus
Nesta manhã, você atravessará o Pó e seguirá para o sul através de uma colcha de retalhos de terras agrícolas, pomares e aldeias, até Ferrara. Sob sua família dominante, a Este, essa cidade-estado atraiu arquitetos, artistas e estudiosos por séculos, pioneiros nos princípios de planejamento urbano que foram imitados em todo o mundo desde então. Até hoje, a Universidade Ferrara está entre as melhores, e a cidade é apelidada de Capital de Ciclismo da Itália.
Um ônibus e um trailer privativos o transferem para o barco em Adria, um antigo porto romano pelo Canal Bianco (Canal Branco). Adria também é conhecida por sua herança etrusca e grega. Um passeggiata após o jantar na cidade para um merecido grappa ou gelato é altamente recomendável.
DIA 8: Reserva Natural Adria - Delta do Pó - Ilha Pellestrina, 25 mi (40 km)
O barco levará você a Porto Viro, onde você começará seu percurso diário no labirinto do Delta do Po, um paraíso sem contaminação entre mangues e lagoas do Po, pedalando no coração da natureza. Se o tempo permitir, ao continuar em direção a Chioggia, você também pode fazer uma parada na praia e dar um mergulho no Adriático - e não se esqueça de saborear uma a hot piadina! Chioggia também é conhecida como "Pequena Veneza", um centro de pesca . A noite acontece na ilha de Pellestrina, em frente a Chioggia.
DIA 9: Ilha Pellestrina - Veneza, 19 mi. (30 km).
Pellestrina, a primeira de duas ilhas que você atravessa hoje. Pellestrina é tranquila, pitoresca com suas cabanas, barcos e redes. Um pequeno passeio de barco pela ilha o levará ao Lido. Na moda na alta sociedade desde a Belle Époque, o Lido di Venezia agora abriga o Festival Internacional de Cinema de Veneza e sua galáxia de estrelas. Depois de voltar ao barco, você desfrutará de um cruzeiro de lazer em frente à praça de São Marcos até o destino final. Depois do jantar, você pode saborear Veneza à noite, agora livre das multidões e do mais romântico: Benvenuti a Venezia!
DIA 10: Veneza, dia livre.
Dia livre em Veneza à sua disposição. Após acordar com a maravilhosa vista da lagoa, há oportunidade de uma visita guiada ao centro da cidade. Você terá o dia inteiro ao seu gosto, para continuar sua exploração do magnífico centro histórico da capital da República Sereníssima ou de suas maravilhosas ilhas.
DIA 11: Veneza
A excursão termina oficialmente logo após o café da manhã.

It is difficult to choose just one memorable part of the trip. Each day was filled with a new exciting adventure! Even riding a bike in an unexpected downpour was a fun experience when shared with cycling comrades. Seeking out a delicious gelato in a town square was a favorite activity. Exploring and discovering Italy while biking and barging aboard the Ave Maria was a truly delightful experience. Our crew was very helpful and eager to show us how proud they were of their country and all it has to offer. Pumpkin tortellini eaten at an outdoor restaurant was such an enjoyable eating experience! Grazie Mille for a truly amazing cycling adventure!!

Especially loved the area of the Dolomite Mountains, from Bolzano to Lake Gardia, for the beauty and then arriving in Venice.
Trip was extremely well organized; wonderful crew, special tour guides in Mantova and Venice, good food...and bravo to Vivian and Sonya, excellent guides
The cyclists really got along well so that was an added bonus.
First trip that was guided for us and I was pleasantly surprised. Other trips were self-guided and so was the first part of the trip, from Bolzano to Mantova.
Lack of toilets on the way...

Guides were amazing. They worked hard to make sure all guests mingled with guests from other countries. Games played encouraged teams working together and finding new information about the villages we visited. Always extra surprises..like visiting the mussel fishermen, panoramic vista of Venice from rooftop. Training on how to use ferry system in Venice invaluable. I didn't think we could get a better tour than our 2018 trip, but this one exceeded all expectations. From snow in the mts. near Bolzano to swimming in the Adriatic, the differences in scenery was dramatic and thrilling. Bikes...so comfortable and fit perfectly. Didn't even need to wear my bike padding! Plenty of time to look around when we went thru villages. What can I say. This tour was the best!

We loved the scenery and it was such a relaxing bike ride we decided to go on our own rather than go with the group with the guide. The green arrow stickers saved us many times. Loved all the small villages on the way and stopped at a few every day for a cappuccino which was excellent. There was a few errors on the routes however we figured them out and pointed the errors to the guides when they occurred.

The route guides had some errors and you could tell that they were translated by someone who’s first language is not English but we usually managed to figure things out. We preferred to cycle independently from the group as people rode too slow for us and being clustered together we were concerned about all of us crashing into each other. We loved being able to rendezvous with our guides and the rest of the group for the Carrosel Museum visit, the cheese factory etc.
The staff on the Ave Marie Barge were fabulous, they all worked together, even the Captain helped set the table. The food was excellent and the chef was a real character.
The bikes were excellent, we were provided Read more… with a pannier and a box style bag for our handle bars. It wasn’t necessary to bring a small backpack as they like you to remove and carry the bags with you when you lock up your bike.
It was a great vacation and we hope to do another cycling trip in the near future.

Couldn't ask for more. We absolutely loved our bike/barge tour in Italy from Bolzano to Mantova to Venice in August on the Vita Pugna. The staff were fantastic and our guide Michela was amazing. We had a lot of fun, met some great people and visited some very beautiful places. The biking was not difficult. The food on the Barge was first class and plenty of it. Would absolutely recommend this trip. Can't think of the most memorable part of the trip it was all amazing. The first three days was challenging following the instructions, but we got there in the end. Was sorry to say goodbye to everyone.

The hotel accommodations were very comfortable and more than adequate. We would have been satisfied with a less luxurious hotel in Trento. We would have liked to explore the town and find a different restaurant, but there was no time. That is one of the drawbacks of cycling so many miles between towns; not enough time to explore.
The Ave Maria and the entire crew were first rate. We want to particularly thank our tirelessly helpful and fun-loving guides, Marinella and Stephania. In addition, the food was artfully created and inspired.
Our one complaint is about the poorly written instructions on the 3-day, self-guided part of the trip, which sometimes caused stress. The instructions were not only terribly written, we also had different editions of instructions among our group of 12. The most exasperating time was at Riva del Garda when we cycled back and forth through the town at least 3 times, Read more… looking for the correct ferry dock, after asking and being misled several times.

We started out in Bolzano, going from Hotel to hotel the first three nights, and then on the barge for seven more. The scenery of the hotel to hotel was spectacular! The Ave Maria was a fantastic boat, the crew was great and very accommodating. The only negative is- I wish we could have spent more time in each town we went past. But with only ten days, squeezing anything else like more time is impossible.

The Ave Maria is fantastic, our rooms were cozy but totally comfortable. The boat is in mint condition. Food is amazing! Our 2 chefs were top notch. Staff are fun and we really were lucky to have a great group of fellow travelers. Ronnie and Silvia were our guides and they were great. They were very patient, helpful and fun to be with. We had a competition one night, all the 5 groups from different countries did a skit. It was hilarious!!
Also, arriving in Venice by boat at the end of the tour is the best way to go in our opinion. We stayed an extra day in Venice and took water buses to some of the islands. It was cooler there, we saw beautiful places and we used up our 3 day transit pass.
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, we had an unforgettable, wonderful trip and are thinking of where to go on our next bike and barge adventure!

A few things I think need mentioning.
We got lost. Just as one of your reviewers mentioned on the way to Lake Garda. We were doing great and very early to get the boat but at one of the deviations,we turned towards Verona and didn't realize it until half way to Verona. We had to keep looking at the map and book description and when we thought we knew and didn't look at what we were doing, we got lost. So took a train to Verona, lugged the very heavy bikes up the train station stairs, no elevator or escalators there!! Then had to hang the bikes up on hooks on the train. Then the train back up to where we would have been finishing our trip in the boat down Lake Garda. PUCCINCI hotel in Peschiera.I was very disappointed to have missed the ride on lake Garda. So the day that was supposed to be our short day, and we had done 45k before noon, and should have been there, we did over 80K.
I felt that in order Read more… to do each days trip on the extra three days, we had to miss lots of towns and sights I wanted to visit. The hotel in Bolzano was very lovely and staff was great.
The hotel in Trento, The Grand, was very very Grand. We just loved it.
The gentleman that was at the front desk in............Peschiera was very helpful and was trying to give us many many things to do until he realized we didn't have the time in one evening, when getting up early to ride, to do too much.
The hotel at the bottom of Lake Guarda, Hotel Peschiera we had a large bedroom.
The breakfast room was in the basement and was quite crowded.
We went for a swim and I asked at the desk about towels for the pool and the woman said to just take the room towels. When I asked for dry towels later for our room she told me they were $5.00 each!!! Never have heard of that ever before.
Our barge was wonderful and as the times we have biked and barged before with other companies, we were very delighted with the delicious meals, friendly crew and outstanding tour guide Lecia. She was so much fun, very professional, had amazing skills in many languages and we all fell in love with her. The rides were so beautiful, just as we expected and the others on board with us were friendly and keen like us.

We did the Bolzano to Mantova bicycle trip, what an awesome experience. We loved every moment of it. Thank you for the wonderful trip, the hotels were excellent, the road maps we could not have done without. The signs from Pescheria to Mantova were not as good as the beginning - less to follow but on the whole I trip that we can recommend. The Ava Maria - 5 star, with a crew led by captain Connie and tour guide Helmut, not to mention the excellent food. Well organised and worth every penny

Just completed this trip - we'll summarize by just saying "OUTSTANDING"! Enrico (our guide) couldn't have been better - surely gave us more info (and time!) than we expected. The boat's crew was outstanding too - food couldn't have been better! And we loved the cycling...even with (in spite of?) two days of rain. Our tandem bike was (surprisingly, for a rental tandem) easy to ride and control, even through some of the tight turns in the towns on the tour. Hard to find/fit tandems that are enjoyable to ride for both cyclists - Girolibero did their homework! We're already planning another tour for next year, and what a feast to choose from!

Great Trip! Directions were clear & detailed for the self-guided portion. Maps could have been better by showing North orientation.
Guide on boat was fantastic! very knowledgeable and eager to please. Took us many places and gave us background info on things. Volunteered to take us on a tour of Venice and showed us how to use the water-bus system to get around on our own. Nicest boat and best guide I have had after many bike & barge trips.

Myself and 4 of my friends just completed the Balzano - Venice Bike Tour. This was our 7th cycle tour with Trip-Site and as with the previous 6 trips we were not disappointed. The cycling out of Balzano was probably the most beautiful of any cycling we have done. Coming down a mountain road to a spot overlooking Lake Garda was a spectacular site we will never forget.
The Ava Maria has been beautifully re-furbished. The staterooms are roomy with plenty of storage. The dining room comfortabley seated our 28 fellow cyclists. The food was great and the wine reasonably priced. Our guides Flavio and Martina did a wonderful job and went out of their to be accomodating to our requests. The trail markers and directions from Balzano to Mantova could have been better. But, we were never actually lost, just misplaced from time to time. A great time was had by all.
