Igor Baccini

Igor Baccini is our "Bike fleet and logistics manager" at our headquarters in Italy. He takes care of our bike fleet in Europe and during the summer season he has two bike mechanics working full time for him as he assigns bikes to all European rentals and tours and supervises the movement of all vans and bikes that leave our main headquarters in Italy.  In his spare time he can't get away from biking as he spends his vacation bicycle touring with friends. Ask him about his summer bike tours with his friends as he works on converting more of them to bicycle maniacs like him. He has been skateboarding since he was thirteen and loves to ride and help friends build parks and ramps. Although he does not drink coffee, does not follow soccer, and has a Russian name, do not be fooled, he is 100% Italian.

Stefania has been a tour leader ExperiencePlus! guided tours in Italy and Ireland since 1999. Recently she decided to spend more time in the office helping with the Self Guided tour management. When she is not working for BikeRentalsPlus! or ExperiencePlus! (from April to October), during the winter she likes ... travelling (for a change)! She has cycled in Italy (of course), Nepal, India, Costa Rica, and New Zealand. She loves meeting people, encountering different cultures, and exploring countries at the speed of a bike. She says: “In that way you can see, hear, smell, feel all around you, and at the end of the day, maybe tired but happy, you can say: 'I've deserved all this beauty!'"

Our United States headquarters is in Fort Collins, Colorado. If you call our US office you will always get a human on the phone (during office hours: 8 - 4 pm, MST).  Since most operations are out of the European office, we may not have bicycle availability information but we will be happy to send the inquiry to them and they will get back to you as soon as they have availability.
