Congratulations Ciclismo Classico!

Winner for “Best Foodie Destination,” “Best Family Adventure” and more!

Bike Tours

We were chosen as “Best Foodie Destination 2014″ by Outside Magazine for our Bike Across Belgium cycling tour. Why? Simply put, there is nothing quite like biking through Belgium’s contrasting landscape of flatlands in Flanders and the rolling hills in French speaking Wallonia. It is truly a cyclist’s dream, and home to arguably the most scenic cycling in Europe.

There are miles of bicycle paths that zig-zag along romantic canals and wind their way between quaint towns, charming castles, outdoor cafés and incredible restaurants. This bicycle infrastructure, gorgeous scenery, delicious food and varied culture help explain why cycling is the country’s national sport.

Best Foodie Destination: Bike across Belgium Bike Tours

Winner: Flanders and Wallonia, Belgium

Most European tours focus on Italy’s Chianti or France’s Beaujolais. That leaves Europe’s beer capital—not to mention meals like wild boar and venison for dinner, croquettes for lunch, and, of course, a waffle or eight at breakfast—for the rest of us. The guides at Massachusetts-based Ciclismo Classico stitched together a nine-day, 250-mile spin through Flanders and Wallonia that takes you past World War II sites, moody castles, and the canals of Bruges, with plenty of stops along the way at places like Orval Abbey, one of just ten Trappist breweries left in the world!

Best Cycling Guide in the World: Marcello Bonini (Part I)

We congratulate our own Marcello Bonini voted “Best Cycling Guide in the World 2014″ by Outside Magazine. Marking his 17th year with Ciclismo Classico, Marcello has led over 100 tours. In celebration of this milestone, he has created a special signature trip!

“The Best of Po Valley” will combine his early cycling experiences – rides to “the big river” looking for fishing spots and old style Osteria – and the thrilling climbs to the ancient castles of Matilde di Canossa where the view embraces the ridge of Apennines. Add the excitement of a gran finale participating in a classic amateur cycling event in Italy, the 42nd Gran Fondo

“Cycling: Marcello Bonini, Ciclismo Classico A masseur, sommelier, and former half-Ironman national -champion, the Italy-based Bonini learned how to cycle before he could write. ‘Marcello has consistently received the highest ratings from guests for 15 years,’ says Ciclismo founder Lauren Hefferon. Despite all the praise, the 48-year-old Bonini, who has led close to 100 trips, is humble. ‘Whatever I learn, I try to share, and people on a bike have to listen. They can’t run away from me,’ he says. Among other trips, Bonini is the specialist for Ciclismo’s 11-day, 350-mile Bike Across Italy.”
