Between the mountains and the sea! This is the motto of this 9-day horse riding tour: a perfect marriage between the rolling hills of Tuscany, the winding and challenging roads of Corsica, the beautiful roads that run along the slopes of the Sardinian coast.
And there will also be time to lie back on the curves of the mountains that cross these two astonishing Mediterranean islands.
A day at the beach, local life, great food and wine complete this tour created for all bikers who love riding hairpin bends!
As our guest, you will be in very capable hands during your days here in Central Italy. Tour leader Enrico Grassi, founder of Hear the Road Tours was born in Rome and has spent years traveling to every corner of the country that he is so proud to claim that he is his home.
Enrico spent many hours developing the routes to ride, cities to visit, sites to see, as well as the hotels and dining options critical to making this type of adventure something to remember and cherish.

This fabulous tour begins and ends in the beautiful “eternal” city of Rome.
