Lake Como, Italy has all the ingredients to make for the perfect holiday.

For those of you who are feeling fit and want a challenge, why not go on a cycle tour from the UK (via the ferry/train) to mainland Europe and make the most of your holiday from start to finish. You can either plan your own route via the internet or if you prefer, you can pay to go on a cycle tour with a guide, many of which follow an itinery with many stops in order to give you a chance to see the country you are in and also to recharge your batteries for the next leg of the tour.

Many of the cycle tours require a reasonable level of fitness and plan routes to be enjoyed rather than endured!  This can be one of the most enjoyable experiences of seeing Europe and keeping fit at the same time!  It is a fantastic way to sightsee through various countries as well as taking in the magnificent landscapes at your own leisure.  This is a very economic way to travel and will cost you less for ferry/rail tickets.

The more advanced cyclists can find routes that take them through the Alps and more challenging landscapes.

Please note that it is advisable that you have holiday insurance cover, especially for this type of travel.
