Giovanni Ramaccioni

“Giovanni made my trip. His personality, energy and knowledge were awesome and his sense of humor just made him a joy to travel with.”

Giovanni Ramaccioni is our Italian specialist and a man of many talents. Not only is he an expert on the food, culture and history of his country, he is an expert on bikes and biking. He also is intimately familiar with Italian wines and can give you his opinion on why they are much better than French wines! He has guided biking and hiking tours in Tuscany and Umbria for many years and knows the area like the back of his hand. Giovanni and his college sweetheart Michela live in Umbria with their young son Duccio.

“Best local guide we have ever been on a tour with. He really knew his biking and his country and could talk about both easily.”
