Florence, Italy
Whether you’re riding through cinematic landscapes on our Tuscany Bike Tour or hunting for truffles on DuVine’s Tuscany Harvest Bike Tour, you’ll be spending your final day in Florence, celebrating the successes of the week upon your arrival in the Piazzale Michelangelo. We agree that Florence is a “Tuscan gem” that “never goes out of style,” earning it the #6 rank in the World’s Top 15 Cities—and no competition for the #1 Best City in Europe.
Douro Valley, Portugal
Not only was Porto named the 4th Best City in Europe (up from the #9 spot last year), but the grand finale on our Douro Valley Bike Tour swept Travel + Leisure’s 2018 World’s Best Awards: the Six Senses Douro Valley appeared on the Top 100 Hotels and was ranked the #3 Resort Hotel in Europe. The sumptuous Six Senses brand also took first place in the Top 20 Hotel Brands category. We’ve been predicting Portugal‘s rise in popularity, and Travel + Leisure seems to agree.
Napa + Sonoma, California
Stay at prestigious hotels on DuVine’s California Couture and Sonoma itineraries. The definitive list of Top 10 Resort Hotels in California includes two properties we’re proud to call our partners: the Solage Calistoga and the Auberge du Soleil. It is any surprise that Auberge Resorts were #10 on Travel + Leisure’s list of the Top 20 Hotel Brands?

Prague, Czech Republic
This capital city is so spectacular, we feature it on two of our tours: Czech Republic + Austria Bike Tour and a Czech Republic + Austria Family Bike Tour that’s perfect for all ages. Included as one of the Best Cities in Europe, it’s in good company with other DuVine destinations: Edinburgh wins the #13 spot and Lisbon comes in at #8. Visit them on our Scotland Bike Tour and Alentejo Bike Tour.
Tuscany, Italy
Travel + Leisure loves this essential DuVine region. The town of Siena took the #9 position in the list of Europe’s Best Cities, while the impressive Belmond Castello di Casole, a highlight of our Super Tuscany tour, was named one of the Top 10 Resort Hotels in Italy. On that same tour, you’ll spend three nights at Castiglion del Bosco—a Rosewood Hotel & Resort, considered a Top 20 Hotel Brand.
Marrakesh, Morocco
DuVine puts a unique spin on Travel + Leisure’s #5 City in Africa and the Middle East. Our Morocco Bike Tour, offered on a private basis, is completely customizable and replete with luxury experiences—from candlelit dinners beneath the desert stars to hiking at the foot of Toubkal Mountain.
Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
A “humbling, once-in-a-lifetime” experience can be had with DuVine. The Galápagos boasts a win in two categories: Travel + Leisure readers named it the #1 Island in Mexico, Central, and South America (for the 15th consecutive year!), and the #11 Best Island in the World. Even higher on the list of the World’s Best Islands? Sicily, the #8 pick and the focus of our Sicily Bike Tour.
Cape Town, South Africa
If you’re looking to visit the 17-time Best City in Africa and the Middle East, DuVine’s South Africa Bike Tour is a vacation unlike any other, designed by our South African guide Arien and featured in Robb Report, Forbes, and Maxim. While you cycle the Cape Winelands and sip sundowners at the base of Table Mountain, rest assured that you’re receiving the most authentic experience of the World’s #12 City.
