Best Adventure Travel Companies {On Earth}

Hot springs, palazzo tours, and Tuscan cooking classes are some of the perks to a cycling trip with Best Tuscan Tours. If you're feeling flush, sign on for a luxury tour—six days cycling, spa-hopping, and staying at palazzos in Chianti, for instance. For budget travelers, a week on the island of Elba means pedaling past white-sand beaches, through vineyards, and up ridges overlooking the Mediterranean, with stays at inns and B&Bs. If you're in need of a new bike, Best Tuscan Tours will hook you up with the best Italian cycling companies before your trip, and then ship your steed home for you at tour's end.
