Punto Tours
Their motto Veni Vidi Bici says it all - come, see, ride!
Our thoroughly researched cycling tours vary in difficulty and duration, traversing some of the best and surprisingly lesser known destinations perfect for road cycling.
Your accommodation is selected just as carefully, and dinners! We're a little bit famous for our dinners. Food is life, especially for hungry riders and we source only the very best of 'fuel' to power our tours. Small villages with a hidden gem, Michelin star fine dining or the cellar of an amazing farmhouse, you'll be let in on our sensational finds. And wine! Why is it so many great rides wind through vineyard territory?
Whichever adventure you join us on, there is the freedom and peace-of-mind to ride at your pace armed with our Garmin GPS navigation loaded with daily routes, point-to-point route notes and full support team. We understand that everyone has good days, and occasionally one not so. There is always the opportunity to take a breather in the van or a willing guide to ride extra distance if you've energy to burn!

Nothing short of perfection is wrought into Japan's soul. From the simple pleasures of taking a bath to forging legendary steel katana for the samurai, the Japanese strive for more than excellence.

If this isn't enough to make you smile, the friendly Japanese locals will be all that is required. See you in Japan, for the glorious autumn colours, yes? Hai!

An eleven day cycling tour that is a fantastic mix of the hard yards and sensational tempo R&R.
Tick off a few of the all-time legendary ascents from our alpine base in Bormio. Passo dello Stelvio, Passo di Gavia and both(!) sides of the daunting Mortirolo. Such feats earn themselves a luxurious night in Bellagio on the shores of stunning Lake Como. From there you will be transferred the following day to Alba, where we begin a rolling adventure through vine clad hills. The backyard of the incomparable Fausto Coppi. The unrelenting, undulating terrain is brilliant for easing out the tensions from the mountains, and enhancing your overall riding strengths.
Food and wine in Italy is always excellent, but in Piedmont it is exceptional! All meals, luxe accommodation, professional guides on-road and vehicular supports with all the trimmings is yours for the tour.
Join the Grinders' ride in 2020 for a tour that really has it all - entrée, main course and dessert. Andiamo!
