About The Race:

The 110th edition of the Giro d’Italia is a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race. The official dates for the May 2027 event will be announced in the fourth quarter of each year, generally in October 2026 for the May 2027 event.

Our indicative dates for the 2027 Giro d’Italia race are the 8th May – 30th May. The Grande Partenza [Depart] has been rumoured to start in Australia, with 3 stages in various states / regions before transferring to Italy. We’ll confirm all the details once an official announcement is made, yet we do appreciate the large logistics involved and hefty timezone change make this Grand Depart rumour unlikely.

The official Grand Depart location will be announced shortly, with the final stage location also open to change for each edition of the race, previous editions have recently been in the nations capital Rome.

We regularly update everyone who has placed an Advanced Booking with us, with all of the details for the program and itinerary as information comes in from the race organisation.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Italy, and showing you the best of Italy and the 2027 Giro d’Italia.

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.

Below we outline a few suggestions on how to arrive to Italy and options to arrive to the Milan region, these are by no means the only options available, we list a few, yet as always options will be varied based on the country where you are departing from, your preferred airline/ carrier etc.

Option 1: Fly to Milan Malpensa International Airport. Then onto our Team Hotel.

Option 2: Train to Milan, Italy. Then onto our Team Hotel

How to get to our hotel:

Our hotel in the Milan area is conveniently located and well connected by train to Milan Malpensa (approx 20min) and then a short walk to our hotel.

Local Train station:

Arrive at our local Train Station, it’s a short 5 min walk on the flat, or Taxi ride if you have large luggage, to our team hotel.

Airport: Then Train

From Milan Malpensa International airport, our suggestion is to take a train from the Malpensa airport arrivals area, below ground train station to our team hotel in the Milan area, – direction Milan Central. It’s a short 20min train journey to our hotel or a/30min Taxi ride.

NB: There’s no official program today Day 0 Pre tour, it’s arrival day, your Ride International tour staff will arrive at various points throughout the day. We’ll all be connected via a WhatsApp chat group, we create the group chat prior to your tour start so that we can all communicate.

Our Giro d’Italia tours require payment conditions which include a 50% tour progress payment once we supply our tour “Itinerary in Brief”. We forward your first progress payment invoice/s via email, these tour progress payments made to Ride International to secure your position/s on the tour are non-refundable by our suppliers.

Travel Insurance is compulsory for guests on all our tours, should you need to cancel your tour once your tour progress payment/s have been made, contact us via email to notify us of your intention to cancel. We can provide you with written confirmation that your tour position/s have been cancelled, this confirmation of cancellation can then be forwarded by guests onto your travel insurance provider for their consideration.

The balance of your tour payment/s is due no later than 150 days prior to your tour departure date, we will forward via email your final payment invoice. You can choose to make full payment earlier if you prefer to finalise your trip payment early, contact us and we will arrange for an invoice to be sent.

What if I have to transfer, change or cancel my trip:
We understand you may not be able to go on your tour, you have the option to cancel, change or transfer due to personal or medical reasons if you’ve paid a tour advance booking deposit, and or it’s within 10 days of receiving your tour “Itinerary in Brief. Post the 10 day period after you have received your “Itinerary in Brief”, tour payments, progress payments are considered final, non-refundable. If you have a question give us a call or email.
