Your Ultimate 10 Day Giro d’Italia Tour Start Location: Milan region, northern Italy

The Milan region is a great start location for our Ultimate Giro d’Italia 10 Day Tour start. Milan and Milan Malpensa is conveniently located and well connected in Italy by train and to Milan – Malpensa International airport.

We always recommend arriving to our tour start – team hotel, or the country in which your tour starts at least the day prior to your tour start. In our years of experience, we have observed that guests who arrive early or on Day 0 are better able to respond to potential travel disruptions like flight delays, missed connections and lost luggage. In general, they are better rested, less stressed, less likely to get sick while on tour, much happier and ready for their adventure than those who arrive fatigued on Day 1.

Your Tour Start Location: Milan Region Italy.
