About this tour
Explore the Gola del Furlo gorge in Italy's Marche region on electric bike, following a 4.5-hour route through a protected natural reserve. The route traces sections of the ancient Via Flaminia, including a tunnel carved by Emperor Vespasian's engineers to link Rome's coastal roads. You'll navigate using a Garmin GPS device and sample Acqualagna truffles—the region's prized harvest—at the tour's conclusion.

What to expect
You'll handle the bike and route independently using the Garmin unit provided. Expect gravel and single-track sections through the gorge, with climbs that the e-bike motor assists but don't eliminate. The terrain alternates between riverside flats and steeper woodland stretches. You'll pass the Roman tunnel—a genuine feat of ancient engineering—and traverse forest floor with views of the gorge walls. The ride finishes at a tasting venue where you'll sample local truffle with bread or pasta.
