Why choose Sardinia Cycling for your bike tour?

A true chance to disconnect — with tours designed and delivered entirely in-house
Sardinia is one of Europe’s most authentic cycling destinations — quiet roads, stunning landscapes, and a slower rhythm that lets you breathe. Unlike travel agencies or intermediaries, we design and run every cycling tour in Sardinia ourselves. What you pay goes directly into the quality of your trip — not into middlemen or freelancers. Every itinerary is carefully crafted at different difficulty levels, so whether you’re looking for a leisurely bike holiday or a challenging road cycling tour, you’ll find the perfect match.

Guided bike tours in Sardinia

Few, but exceptional
We operate only a limited number of guided tours each year, all led exclusively by our own in-house team of experienced professionals. We never outsource our tours, allowing us to guarantee consistent quality and a truly personal experience. Before you arrive, we'll already know you, your riding level, and your preferences, so we can make your journey as enjoyable as possible.

Self-guided cycling holidays

premium quality without compromise
Our self-guided bike tours in Sardinia are true premium products — designed, tested, and constantly improved by us. They save you time and money: creating your own trip often costs more, leads to planning hassles, and rarely delivers the same quality. With our easy-to-use electronic road books on the Sardinia Cycling app, you can plan your day perfectly and ride with total confidence. Expect meticulously planned routes built for excellence, not guesswork.

Private and custom cycling tours

Enjoy a fully tailored experience
Every tour in our catalog can be turned into a private cycling tour, allowing you to ride with friends, family, or colleagues on your own schedule. For the ultimate experience, our tour designers can help you create a completely custom bike tour in Sardinia, tailored to your preferences, fitness level, and interests. This way, you can combine the best of our tested routes with your personal itinerary for a truly unique adventure.

Seamless Travel Services

Standard inclusions and add-ons to tailor your experience

The services described below represent the standard inclusions generally provided across our tours. However, every itinerary has its own unique features, with different hotels, dining experiences, and additional services depending on the route and tour version. For complete details — including the specific hotels, number of included dinners, transfers, and all other services included in your chosen trip — we invite you to download the dedicated brochure for the tour you are interested in, available on each tour page.

Sardinia Cycling app for iOS and Android

It is included with both guided and self-guided tours. Discover a new, paper-free way to manage all your trip information, designed to help you make the most of your time exploring Sardinia by bike. The app includes detailed stage briefings, navigation, points of interest, and useful recommendations such as suggested cafés along the route and our favorite local restaurants for evenings when dinner is not included. The app is available well before your trip departure, allowing you to explore the itinerary, get familiar with the route, and start preparing for your adventure in advance.

all lodging

All accommodations are included.
We handpick the best hotels available along the route, choosing properties that combine comfort, local character, and an ideal location to make every stage of your journey memorable.

meals

All breakfasts and some dinners
We believe true luxury is about freedom of choice. In a world where personal preferences, dietary requirements, and food intolerances play an increasingly important role, we don't think it's our job to decide what our guests should eat. Or drink. For this reason, we include meals only when they genuinely represent the best option, either for their quality or for logistical reasons.

Pic-nic breaks

More than just a meal
...a chance to slow down, share stories with the group, and fully appreciate the landscapes you've been riding through. On guided tours, we organize scenic picnic breaks with a selection of local sweet and savory specialties, fresh fruit, and refreshing drinks. A delicious way to refuel while enjoying some of the most beautiful locations along the route.

Bike rental

More than just a bike
From our flagship Pinarello Dogma F, equipped entirely with Made in Italy components, to comfort-oriented endurance bikes and the latest e-road models, you're free to choose the bicycle that best suits your riding style and goals. To make that choice even easier, all our tour guests receive a 10% discount on any bike selected from our rental fleet. This way, you pay only for the bike you truly want to ride, not the one someone else has chosen for you.
See our bike catalog!

Luggage delivery

Available as add-on

Sardinia Cycling offers - among the extras - a reliable and punctual luggage transfer service for guests traveling on our self-guided tours. Leave your luggage at the hotel reception before 9:30 a.m., and you'll find it waiting for you at your next hotel by 3:00 p.m. The service price is listed among the optional services in your trip brochure and can be added during the booking process as an extra. Since the cost depends on the number of transfer stages, it may vary from one itinerary to another.

Welcome Kit

Travel with style
Every guest joining a Sardinia Cycling tour receives an exclusive Sardinia Cycling cycling jersey — a small but meaningful reminder of the adventure you are about to experience. Guests on our guided tours also receive our popular Sardinia Cycling day bag, designed to keep all the essentials you may need during the riding day within easy reach. A practical companion for your daily adventures, and another detail that makes your experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Detailed itineraries, elevation profiles, and daily distances make it easy to choose the trip that best matches your abilities and expectations. Still not sure? We'd be delighted to schedule a video call to discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable tour.
"I ride an e-bike. Can I join your tours?"
Absolutely. Thanks to the latest e-bikes in our rental fleet, you can enjoy virtually any tour in our collection. Modern e-bikes make long climbs, challenging stages, and multi-day adventures accessible to a much wider range of riders, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the effort. If you're unsure which model is best for you, we'll be happy to help you choose.
"What happens if I have a mechanical issue during the ride?"
We provide well-maintained, high-quality bikes, and each rental includes a repair kit. If you face any major issues, our support team is just a call away. Since we are based in Sardinia, we can assist quickly and efficiently—you're never alone on the road.
"Should I bring my own bike or rent one?"
You’re welcome to bring your own bike, but our high-end rental fleet is an excellent alternative. Our bikes are fully serviced, adapted to Sardinian terrain, and save you the hassle of airline transport fees and potential damage.
"Can I upgrade the hotels?"
Regarding hotel upgrades, options are naturally more limited in a large and sparsely populated island like Sardinia. Five-star properties are concentrated in only a few destinations, in a number of cases they are located in crowded beach resorts, so not the best for cycling. Therefore upgrade opportunities depend on the specific itinerary and availability. Whenever possible, we are always happy to explore these options and find the best available solution for our guests.
"Will I enjoy the food and accommodations?"
Sardinia is renowned for its hospitality, fresh Mediterranean cuisine, and boutique accommodations. We handpick every stay and recommend the best local restaurants so you can experience the island’s authentic flavors.

For more specific requests, additional services, or unique experiences, our team can work with you to create a tailor-made solution. Whether you would like to extend your stay, add cultural or culinary experiences, modify the itinerary, or simply make the trip better suited to your preferences, we are always happy to explore the possibilities.
"What if I’m traveling solo?"
Our guided tours offer a great way to meet like-minded cyclists, while our self-guided trips give you the flexibility to ride at your own pace. Either way, we ensure your journey is seamless and enjoyable.

Activity levels

Don't let the road decide for you!

A successful cycling trip starts well before the booking is confirmed. A crucial step in choosing a tour is assessing your fitness level, deciding how much effort you want to put in during your vacation, and considering how much of your stay you’d like to dedicate to activities beyond cycling.

Sardinia Cycling has developed a simplified difficulty rating system to help you find the tour that best suits you. This system links daily distance and elevation gain, assigning each tour a specific difficulty level.

At the same time, we provide detailed information to help you make an informed choice, because making the right choice is essential for the perfect tour experience. It's so important to us that you choose the right tour that, if you have any questions, we invite you to contact us to schedule a session with one of our tour designers, available by phone or video chat.

Recreational

This is the level of choice if you occasionally enjoy a bike ride and you want to match biking and visits. The tours in this category need you just prepare with some training prior to tour. Average distance of tours in this category is 60 kilometers/day and 1000m/day gain in elevation.

Enthusiast

Enthusiast level cover longer distances and add some more spikes in the elevation charts and more time in the saddle. Ideal for you who ride more than occasionally and are not afraid of some tough climbing. Average distance is 70km and average daily elevation up to 1500m.

Challenge

You're into cycling, and want to put yourself on a test
You ride quite often and you're in search of challenging cycling, including some good meters up. Distances are above 90km and average elevation above 1600m/day. The lower limit might look low, but remember that hot weather and (often) wind make a tough ride tougher.
