A new motorcycle touring has arrived: the ultimate Italian Factories Tour.
From a motorcyclist's point of view, Italy is among the best places in the world for riding a motorcycle. Twisty roads, close distances between lakes, hills and mountains - you only need to ride a few miles and the landscape changes completely. Excellent food, good weather and reasonable costs make Italy an attractive touring place for motorbike and car lovers. This tour is the embodiment of all the feelings mentioned above.
This tour will introduce you to Ducati, Guzzi, Ferrari and the historic Millemiglia musueum.
Completely renovated and now with more exhibition space, the Museo Ferrari in Maranello anticipates the museum of the future: not just a collection of the past, but an extraordinary experience of the world of Ferrari. The visit to Bologna, Bellagio, Como Lake, Garda Lake will enrich the tour.
From the metropolis of Lombardy to the Oltrepò Pavese and to the Apennine ridges of Piacenza. The Oltrepò Pavese is a maze of streets on the hill ridges and along the little valleys cultivated mostly with vines. The Piacenza area will be the background of the tour with its wonderful castles and its old historic villages.
The Emilian Apennine is a land between the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia, scattered with citadels, parishes and castles and rich in ancient history, where the good food tradition is very rooted. For you, bikers, here fun is guaranteed. In a day you will cross two mythical Apennine passes: the “Cisa”, an everyday pilgrimage destination of hundreds of bikers, and the “Cerreto” in the middle of woods and lakes with peak at 1250 mslm.
Historic routes of the Emilian Apennine where motorcycling lovers will enjoy riding into turns on the historic pathways of the moto-touring on the road. An unexplored and amazing environment surrounds the bikers.
This day is dedicated to those who love motorcycles and cars.
