Boat and Bike from Venice to Mantua 8 Day Cycling Adventure

What a fantastic way to explore Venice and the Italian countryside : by bike AND boat!  

On today's show, we learn about a super fun and affordable way to explore one of Europe's most popular countries, but since we are traveling different that the other tourists, we are usually away from the crowds!

Our guests went with my affiliate BoatBikeTours.com, a terrific company which offers exciting boat and bike tours across Europe.  Email me to get an exclusive BoatBikeTours.com promo code to save 50 euro on any of their fabulous tours!

On a boat and bike trip, you only need to unpack once as you sail from port to port, staying in your cozy private room with bath.  

At each stop, you get to cycle about to explore the people, landscapes, culture, history and daily life.  E-bikes are available at booking, but on this route, it is fairly flat and rated 2 out of 5.

While you know about delightful Venice, you may not have heard of the Po river basin and Mantua, which is one of Europe's most important wetlands and an important stop on the migratory path to and from Africa.  So you'll get the chance to see lots of wildlife, including the year 'round flamingos.

Another fun stop is at a parmesan cheese factory, and many more.

Learm all about this fun Italian cycling vacation on today's show and at the website.  Get complete SHOW NOTES HERE.  See important links for planning your adventure, photos, videos and more cool info about today’s show.
