Top Ancona Overnight Tours

It was an incredible two days!! Marco, Silvia and the whole Basecamp 523 team are phenomenal, they opened the 2024 tent accommodation season with us by adapting the tour to our needs. We traveled 80 km on e-bike, climbing to the top of Monte Cucco. My friend and I didn't even think we were capable of it! It is a highly recommended experience even for the less experienced (like us). Marco is an exceptional, attentive and competent guide. The camp with the suspended tents is taken care of down to the smallest detail and the atmosphere in the evening was magical (food, wine, guitars, fire and stars... what more could you want?). It felt like we were among lifelong friends. We will carry these two days in our hearts and can't wait to repeat them😊

My wife and I spent two weeks in Italy and the E-Bike+Tree Tents experience was by far the best part of the trip. If you really want to get the most out of this, go in blind like we did and just book it. It’s worth it!Who is this experience for? Anyone who enjoys being outdoors, enjoys natural and historical beauty, can appreciate learning about other people’s cultures, and is looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway. It was the perfect mix of guided and unguided adventure.How were the guides? Our ride guide, Flaviano was from the region and did a phenomenal job transferring his love for the area to us. Silvia joined us during the camping portion and brought spectacular energy with her. Both were very kind, helpful, and fun!How was the ride? The ride was extraordinarily scenic and took us through several beautiful locations. Flaviano stopped by many notable areas to point out gorgeous views of rivers, mountains, valleys, everything! He taught us about some of the history and customs of the towns we stopped by as well, taking us through many places that we would have never seen on a more mainstream tour in Italy.We also stopped at a few towns and notable locations, with Flaviano giving a brief history as we went along. We enjoyed some of the local flavors and some fresh brewed caffè during out breaks.How was the camping portion? The camping portion was pretty unstructured, which my wife and I loved. We camped with one other couple who were very sweet. While we all ate together, we weren’t handcuffed to each other and were able to enjoy time on our own hiking the trail system of the campground. The food was great and plentiful, and there’s gluten free options if needed.Are the tents comfortable? The tree tents are remarkably comfortable, and if you’ve camped before they’re warmer than ground tents. We’re considering getting our own!Do you have to be fit? The ride was about 40km long, using light+medium boost on the bike we used about 40% of the bike’s battery. We weren’t sore the next day. Mountain bike/trail experience isn’t required, but general bicycling experience is. While we had to put in effort to move, we weren’t sore afterwards.Overall, I can’t recommend this enough. If I could change anything about my trip, I would have done one of the longer excursions available from this group. It was THAT great.
