"Joe Charity of Ducatitours was a great guide and one hell of a rider, and host when we stopped at various Trattorias, and Cafes for coffees and lunches.
The trouble is I'm now seriously hooked, and would go back to Italy tomorrow to experience more of the roads!"

"Anyone who loves riding, and wants more than the 15 mile blast to the local bike meet, doesn't take themselves too seriously (I can't stress that enough, banter is part and parcel), and wants a truly memorable experience should give Ducatitours a go.
Italy deserves to be ridden on these bikes in the way that these guys give a tour."

"Everyday was a new and exciting experience. Starting with the first night at the hotel which was like a country estate , the tour of the Ducati factory, another spectacular hotel, great roads, great little villages along the way, another fantastic hotel, more great roads, dinner in a castle, and ending with the Moto GP. The list goes on. Each one on it's own would have been worth the trip. But to have them all together was fabulous. "
