Published on 19/07/2017Our traditional tour Monday to the Ducati factory & Museum, then San Marino and ending at Rossi's home of Tavullia has been sold out for some time. We are delighted to announce the good folk at Ducati have given us a second tour slot, so we now have further availability!
The tour leaves Monday morning and takes us to the Ducati factory where we will have an extensive guided tour, followed by the opportunity to visit the luscious Ducati museum. We hit the spectacular (and shopping Mecca) principality of San Marino around lunchtime; then take our late afternoon coffee in Tavullia.
Since we have added a second tour slot at Ducati, we can now accept bookings from non-package customers. However package customers DO get a discount!
Book soon, this is sure to sell out (again)! Existing package customers simply contact your sales agent (soon!) to reserve at the reduced price.![[ID: 16429] (credit: Pole Position Travel)](https://images.polepositiontravel.com/news/247/20160912_163432_800.jpg)

Our package includes:
- 4 nights B&B at the #1 Hotel in the Island

Doors open at 19:00 for a roughly 19:30 programme start. This is INCLUDED for all package guests (www.polepositiontravel.com/sepang/packages) -- others may book separately, see link below.![[ID: 16225] (credit: Pole Position Travel)](https://images.polepositiontravel.com/news/219/Jerez17 Podium-3_800.jpg)
