After you've spent so much on your WW Bling, what do you look for in trips to Italy/France etc? I am looking into the possibility of setting up an enterprise to take small groups to Italy to ride, but want to get an idea of demand and needs.
So what do you want from a tour organiser? Luxury, rides, non-cycling culture? Let me know either on the forum or PM me.
Look forward to your responses.

Well, someone to do the organising for Gran Fondo trips.
For instance, there is this http://www.girodolomiti.com
Not that I plan to do it this year, but if I could book the flights, transfers, hotels and entry in one place I'd be very happy. Even better would be a translator/troubleshooter per group of 10 riders.

The only similar thing I've done before was the Giro del Sardinia, and luckily there the organisers arranged minibuses to/from the airports, and 6 of the 7 days were based in one hotel so just one transfer.
