Tour Ride Stats Summary

We did 2,697 km total, averaging 270km/day.
The Google Maps time ranged from 4h5m to 5h18m.
Our elapsed time (start rolling to arrival) ranged from 7h40m to 10h22m.
And our time averaged Google + ~90% (+57% — +128%).
My rule of thumb that big groups require double Google Maps Time is about right, but there's a lot of variance.
The big over-time days were ones where we had events like perfume factory tour, cheese cave tour, etc.
Overall, AMT runs a great tour and Tomaž Žust is a great guide.

To the airport

I was supposed to change busses in Genova, but I screwed up and stayed on this bus. So I ended up at Milan Lampugnano instead of Milan San Donato. No problem, just 15 stops on the M1 to Loreto, then the 56 bus 12 stops right to Hotel Convertini

So, this is the beginning of my next big adventure, 2026 North to the Nordics: Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. Check out that adventure next.
