Happiness Promise
There are hundreds of thousands of guides and tour operators around the world. Figuring out who to trust is stressful and hard.
That’s why we started 10Adventures Tours, we’re here to make it easy to find a great guide or tour operator. We handpick the best local guides and tour operators for 10Adventures, working to ensure you have great guides and a great trip.
We know it sucks to show up in a different country and find out the tents are junk, the guide incompetent or the route different from what we thought we were getting.
We want to give our users peace of mind that you’ll have a great trip and offer a guarantee that we will work with you to make it right.
How does this work?
Well, if you feel that something about your trip didn’t’ meet your expectations, let us know. We will then work to gather the details and figure out where things went wrong. If something indeed wasn’t as described, or went wrong with your trip, and the problem was within the control of either oursleves, the guide or the tour company, we will then work out a refund with you that’s proportional to the scale of the problem.
Obviously the best way to make a great trip is to tell your local guide or tour operator and give them the chance to fix the solution while you are on your trip. Most things can be solved by telling your guide when the issue develops. If that doesn’t solve it, then email us right away. Please don’t wait to voice your concerns until the trip is over, as it’s much harder to solve issues after the fact.
We work hard to make sure you have a great trip. If something isn’t right, please email hello@10adventures.co and we will get to work right away.

Experience South Tyrol on the Innsbruck, Verona, and Venice Cycling Tour
Take the first step towards a private travel experience, customized just for you.
About this tour:
The Innsbruck to Venice Bike Tour is the perfect adventure for leisure cyclists who want to experience the picturesque beauty of Austria and Italy! From the mountainous region of South Tyrol to the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, this tour will take you through alpine passes to the coast where the sea breeze blows around your nose.
In addition to cultural highlights, culinary delights await, starting in Tyrol with hearty dishes and culminating in the lagoon city with pasta and wine. You will also have the opportunity to explore the bustling cities that can be found along the route, including Innsbruck, Bolzano, Trento, Verona, and Venice.
The Innsbruck to Venice Bike Tour is a cyclist’s dream, so what are you waiting for?! Book your tour today and prepare yourself to experience some of the best scenery and cultural highlights Europe has to offer.
After arriving in Innsbruck, you will meet up for a welcome briefing and bike fitting. For the rest of the day, we recommend visiting Innsbruck’s famous old town with its city tower and its “Golden Roof”.
After breakfast, we will take you up to the Brenner Pass (by train or minibus). From the small border town Brenner, you will cycle on a newly extended bike path, mostly along the river Eisack. It takes you to the little village Gossensass at first and immediately afterwards to Sterzing, the once mighty city of the Fugger.
After, you will continue your tour to Thumberg, to the beautiful Reifenstein Castle, and via Stilfes and Mittenwald to Franzensfeste where there is a famous fortress. The bike path continues to the beautiful and quiet Lake Varna, to Varna itself, and finally to Brixen – today's final destination.
On day 3 of the tour, you will ride your bike through the Dürer town Klausen along the river Eisack to Waidbruck for views of Castle Trostburg. Here, the valley gets narrower and leads into the Bolzano basin. Bolzano - the city where two cultures meet – is awaiting its visitors with many attractions, such as the Archaeological Museum that is home to Ötzi, the Iceman. Free admission to the museum is available with BrixenCard on the day of arrival.
Today you will cycle along the River Adige and partly through some beautiful orchards to reach Salurn, where the German speaking South Tyrol ends. From here, you will continue to Trento with its historic old town.
On this stage of the tour the Adige valley keeps on getting narrower and narrower. The mountain ranges and impressive castles that once guarded one of the most important trade routes will be coming closer and closer too. A visit to Rovereto and the city of Mozart, Ala, are recommended activities in the region. You will then continue your tour on the bike path to Rivalta.
On the sixth day of the tour, you will cycle on the well-developed bike trail along the river Adige to Verona, only making a few stops along the way. Take your time exploring the city with its many Roman ruins.
Today’s route is initially flat until you cycle through the Monti Berici hills to the area of Vicenza, which provides you with a beautiful view overlooking the city. To make this long stage a bit shorter, you can also travel the first part by train to San Bonifacio, or the old town of Vicenza. You can feel Palladio's spirit here, the famous architect from the Middle Ages.
As you leave Vicenza you will see numerous Venetian villas, such as the Villa Rotonda. Following the route along the river Bacchiglione, you will eventually arrive in Abano Terme, one of the most famous Italian spa towns. From Abano Terme, you can easily travel by bus to Padua, the city of St Anthony and the scholars, if you wish. There you will have enough time to enjoy the thermal baths.
With a light wind behind you most of the time, it’s an easy ride towards the sea through a landscape filled with serene meadows and fields. This stage will first take you to the mainland, before reaching Venice with its excellent bus service into the city of lagoons. Take your time exploring one of the most romantic cities in the world.
After breakfast you will pack your things and say ciao to Venice, before making your individual departure from the city.
Explore the famous old town in the city of Innsbruck.
Traverse the Brenner Pass and cycle through the Bolzano Basin.
Witness the Roman ruins in the city of Verona.
Arrive in the lagoon city of Venice and explore one of the most romantic destinations on earth.
