Viva Italia! “Every Day Was A Wonderful Adventure!”

Italy & the islands of Corsica, Sardinia & Sicily are the backdrop for the Viva Italia Cycling Tour. And what a backdrop – historic cities, vineyards, granite mountains, sandy beaches, turquoise waters, hilltop villages – the list goes on and on! The riders on the 2024 tour certainly enjoyed their ride!

The 2026 Viva Italia Cycling Tour is open for registration but keep in mind that all previous editions of the Viva Italia have sold out.

“The Viva Italia is a tour bursting with life, the good life. The Italians simply know how to live and it’s on full display in every village square and cafe. This is a tour for the senses.” – Brian McCloskey (USA)

“Every day was a wonderful adventure riding through Italy and Corsica , with the rich history, art, culture, architecture and buildings, scenery and natural beauty, magnificent coastline, and interest around every corner , experiencing this with a great group of people from all around the world.” – Maurice Efron (Australia)

“Wonderful way to see and experience first hand 4000 years of history and culture in a magical journey around Italy on roads less travelled.” – Chris Wille (Canada)

“As this was my first TDA trip, it was impressive and ripe with awe! I expected challenges with distance and terrain – there were some. My fellow tour members were fun to ride and dine with and the staff kept my bike going and the body well fed. Being able to stop and photograph the scenery at will was a huge gift. And boy was there scenery! Looking back, completing Viva Italia was huge accomplishment in many ways. Hills, chunky gravel, long days in the saddle, and rain was balanced with majestic landscapes, group/staff support and a will to see “what lies around the next corner.” – Peggy Morsch (USA)

“This trip was both physically very challenging with the climbing and absolutely exhilarating. The landscapes are stunning and the country is rich with history. By far, this was my favorite TDA trip thus far! It is worth mentioning that this TDA staff was seasoned, organized and very engaging. I was ready to come home after 6 weeks of pedalling, but I would do it all over again!!” – Karen McCloskey (USA)

“I love the TDA style. It’s perfect for me- enough support coupled with enough challenges. I’m going to be sad when I “age out” of my abilities to do them. Thank you for all your hard work.” – Kathy Herson (USA)

“Loved being on the bike every day reading through amazingly varied scenery and culture. Enjoyed the friendship of a wonderful group of fellow riders and equally accommodating support staff.” – Rae Simpson (Canada)
