This is my 4th Backroads trip in Europe and I would say it was the best one yet. First of all, the region was beautiful topography and it felt like it was all ours. The entire trip we saw only one other biking group so it felt uncommercialized. We experienced a deep dive into Piemonte cuisine and wine. No corners were cut in giving us a great experience in tasting and sipping. It was really great! Our guides were extraordinarily charming and attentive—kudus to them!!! Our routes really were on backroads; we were only on a fairly busy road only once. I'd do this trip again and hope to have Pietro and Luca as guides!

The Piedmont bike trip was exceptional! The terrain, the accommodations, the bikes and the always surpassingly superb backroads guides were over the top. We had guests in our group that were new to backroads and they were effusive with their complements and excitement every day. Not one missed step! Each venue, visit, route, meal, were terrific. Certainly one of the trips with consistently lovely views. Our crew biked almost every mile, even on the misty days. Except for a few guests, we will all be back, and bringing more friends!

Piedmont is INCREDIBLE! Beauty beyond words, and trip leaders that make it even better! Just imagine biking through stunning small towns with the Alps as a backdrop! You couldn't ask for a better trip!

This was my first trip with Backroads so I didn't know what to expect. The staff was incredible (fun, personable, thoughtful) and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a good time, that we had enough snacks, and that we were safe. The food was amazing everywhere. We were on e-bikes, but you could keep in eco mode or turbo, depending on how easy or hard you wanted the biking to be. It was a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Backroads for your adventures.

First time on a Backroads trip, and I was blown away from the first day to the last day with the biking routes, food, wine, and our 2 incredible, excited leaders. The leaders gave a review of the day and what to expect with a lot of history and information about the area we were cycling thru during that stage. The leaders were engaging with the group throughout the entire day, weather it was on the bike, meals, or wine tasting event.

Amazing 6 day trip through the vineyards and hazelnut trees of Northern Italy. Luca and Maria were amazing hosts. Fantastic premier hotels. Everything was thought of in advance. Just had to show up and enjoy the experience. Fantastic wine tasting and education from local vineyards.

The Piedmont bike tour is a must for those that enjoy cycling, fabulous scenery, excellent food and wine, visiting beautiful vineyards, and enjoy the company of interesting people.

Having just returned from my third biking trip, I can confidently say that this recent backroads biking adventure in Piedmont, Italy, was the best biking experience to date. The trip leaders were outstanding in every aspect – their deep knowledge of the region, responsiveness, and authentic approach made this journey truly special. They effortlessly accommodated all our group's requests with grace and ensured every need was met. What set this trip apart was the genuine backroads experience. We enjoyed true backroads biking, with no need for shuttling, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the stunning landscapes of Piedmont. The hotel choices were excellent, providing comfort and a touch of local charm after each day's ride. Additionally, the variety of riding options catered perfectly to our diverse group, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Another highlight was the deep exposure to Piedmontese cuisine and specialties. Each meal was a delightful experience, featuring local delicacies that showcased the rich culinary heritage of the region. We also had the pleasure of tasting some of the finest wines Piedmont has to offer, including barolo and barbaresco. It's the most wine we've ever experienced (and was included) on a Backroads trip! These culinary and wine experiences added a rich and flavorful dimension to our biking adventure. Overall, this backroads biking trip exceeded all expectations. The combination of exceptional leadership, well-chosen routes, and thoughtful accommodations made for an unforgettable journey through one of Italy's most picturesque regions. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-notch biking adventure!

We had a truly amazing trip with Pietro and Frederica. They are so much fun and have terrific knowledge of the area..as well as personal ties. We learned so much about the wines in the area (and tasted quite a few!) There are many great ones! So much good food and people to meet. There are many hills to climb but all are doable and THE VIEWS!!!!! One of the prettiest places we have been to. Everything was beyond expectation.

Imagine waking up every morning to beautiful bike rides through the Piedmont countryside, through hills and valleys lined with vineyards and hazelnut trees, with daily wine tastings and delicious meals. Add a successful truffle hunt led by the cutest, well trained Australian sheep dog--what could be nicer? Thank you Backroads for another wonderful trip (for me number 10)!
