What a fantastic experience! So much more than just an e-bike rental: you get curated routes, via an easy-to-use GPS system that hooks on to your bike, which takes you past places you would never see otherwise. We did the Palladian tour but, outside of Covid time, you can apparently do wine tours and all sorts of things that we will plan to do next year. But more generally, E-biking in this wonderful part of the world is the best way to see it. We happen to love Palladian architecture, so we felt very lucky to see his masterpieces throughout the countryside. But even if you just want to see a lot of beautiful country off the beaten track, this is the way to do it! and though we are not a sporty family, we got up mountains (and down them)! About the company: the service was great, bikes were totally easy to master, can’t say enough about it. Also you get to rent your bikes out of a Palladian villa. Unbelievable. Recommended!!

Awesome day out! We did the Slow Tour and cruised along the 5terre stopping twice for swimming from the boat. A quick lunch stop in Monterosso and then we came back at speed, much to the excitement of our kids. Nico was a fun and informative guide and made the trip brilliant for all our family (2 adults and 3 kids, age 10, 8 and 8). Highly recommend, the best day of our holiday by miles!

Daniela was fantastic. We were in Venice during some of its worst flooding on record and that didn't stop Daniela from giving us an amazing tour. Our hotel concierge told us that our guide would not turn up due to the flooding - but of course she did! Daniela is someone who you can 100% trust and rely upon. She is extremely knowledgeable, has excellent English and she is a delight to spend a half-day or a full-day with. I would recommend Daniela to anyone going to Venice or indeed her home town Vicenza - thank you Daniela :)

From Vicenza city center, this E-Bike tour leads to the vineyards of Villa Valmarana ai Nani, enlightened from the golden light of the morning sun. On the Riviera Berica, the Lady of the Hills, Villa La Rotonda shines from its own eternal beauty. Perfect is the fusion between its proportions and Nature around the Valletta del Silenzio (Silence Valley). Riding on the green quite path, the architecture of Villa Trento and Villa da Schio pay homage to the passers on the bucolic landscape of these rich lands. Ancient is the tradition of the local Trattoria: precious lunch to taste. The afternoon sun gives vital energy to the fruit of the green gold, the tasty DOP Olive Oil. In the mill, the expert leads the senses to the discovery of its aromas. The journey of taste continues in the vineyards where the grapes give the award-winning Tai Rosso Doc. The last stop is Monte Berico: from the large square of the Santuario, Vicenza shows itself in all its divine beauty.
