Here’s an overview of your tour

Bologna's celebrated motorcycle firm, Ducati is a world leader on the racetrack and in terms of style and design! Soon to celebrate its centenary, the firm has never been in better shape!

We'll meet at the gates to the Ducati headquarters for your booked factory tour (subject to availability) then we'll take an exclusive museum tour to dive into the history of the company and take a break at the on-site café (usually off-limits to visitors).

After a visit to the Ducati store we'll head to central Bologna - 30 minutes by bus or 15 minutes by taxi (optional, extra cost) and take a stroll around the centre seeing the main sights and stopping for some tasty local food and wine.

During the afternoon we'll meet a passionate former Ducati racer to see his stunning private collection located in a historic city-centre premises.

*NB not available Wednesdays!
