ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours launches new Tallinn to Venice trip
In celebration of 20 years of epic cycling adventures, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours has launched its latest expedition trip: Baltic to the Adriatic – Tallinn to Venice.
Departing in July 2026, this 1,520-mile (2,430 km) cycling journey connects the storied streets of Tallinn, Estonia, to the romantic canals of Venice, Italy, traversing seven countries along the way.
This new expedition honors the spirit of ExperiencePlus!’s first-ever Expedition tour in 2006, which took riders from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Istanbul, Türkiye. Two decades later, the adventure continues with a new route that offers cyclists a chance to cross borders, cultures, and landscapes at the perfect pace – by bike!
“Our Expedition tours have always been about adventure, camaraderie, and the magic of connecting distant places under your own pedal power,” says Maria Elena Price, co-owner of ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “This new Tallinn to Venice expedition not only celebrates the 20th anniversary of our very first Expedition but also embodies everything that makes these trips so special – history, culture, geography, and the joy of crossing entire continents on two wheels.
An epic journey across Europe
Spanning 29 days, the new Baltic to the Adriatic – Tallinn to Venice expedition will guide riders through the heart of Eastern and Central Europe, including Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria.
Highlights include:
- A chance to explore various historic European cities, including Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw, Krakow, and Vienna
- Guided experiences in Riga, Warsaw, and Vienna
- Stops at multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites and through various parks, wetlands, and protected spaces
- Rides along coastlines, next to rivers, and through the countryside, with stops in rural towns and villages
- Visits to historical castles, palaces, fortresses, and cathedrals
- Rides through the picturesque vineyards and alpine pastures
- Challenging climbs and rewarding descents
- And so much more!
As with all ExperiencePlus! Expedition tours, the journey is fully supported, allowing riders to focus on the ride while the company’s experienced tour leaders handle logistics, accommodations, route support, and cultural interpretation.
This tour will run July 6-August 3, 2026, and costs US$13,500.00 per person.
A Legacy of Long-Distance Cycling
ExperiencePlus! pioneered the concept of Expedition-style bicycle tours in 2006, offering avid cyclists the chance to experience the challenge and wonder of extended, cross-continental routes. These trips attract adventurous riders who are craving both the physical challenge a trip like this offers as well as the transformative power of journeying by bike across borders.
“Our Expedition tours have built a loyal community of cyclists over the past 20 years – many of whom return for the friendships, the challenge, and the satisfaction of completing a remarkable long haul journey,” adds Price. “This new Expedition from Tallinn to Venice is a natural continuation of that legacy.”
