Our family had a wonderful trip with Dante and Patricia riding the e-bikes and stopping off to swim because the temperature was so hot! What a fun experience seeing the Northern part of Lake Como! So beautiful!
Dante and Patricia were our excellent e-bike guides. They are local to the Lake Como region and planned out a beautiful 30km ride. The bikes were well maintained as were the safety gear.
We had a fantastic bike ride around Lake Como. Dante’s communication before the activity was excellent, and he even arranged to meet us straight off the ferry, which made everything so easy. All bikes and equipment were provided, and the ride itself was lovely, relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take in the views, and go at your own pace. There was only the two of us on the ride and Dante and his wife were super friendly. I would definitely recommend this experience. Thanks again, Dante! Claire & Maddie
We had an incredible experience exploring Lake Como by e-bike with Dante as our guide. From the very beginning, he was proactive and communicative, making sure we knew exactly where and when to meet. He even gave us helpful tips about the ferry system, which made getting around Como much easier. Once the tour started, Dante did an excellent job guiding us safely through the streets of Como. His directions were always clear, and we felt completely comfortable riding with him. The e-bikes were fantastic….modern, comfortable, and in excellent condition, which made the ride enjoyable and accessible, even on the hills. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Dante took us through some of the most beautiful areas around the lake, with stunning mountain views and picturesque lakeside roads. One of the highlights was stopping at an amazing local restaurant high on a hill above Dongo. It was a bit of a climb, but the e-bikes made it manageable, and the views and food were more than worth it. What truly made the experience special was Dante himself. He was kind, joyful, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Lake Como. Throughout the tour, we felt safe, well cared for, and able to fully enjoy the experience. If you’re considering a bike tour of Lake Como, don’t hesitate to book with Dante. He was the best, and this was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
We arrived on time and were shown the e-bike controls well. The tour started and the variety of surfaces, turns and roads made this for intermediate or above riders in. Y opinion. The trip home was a lot quicker. Dante was really patient and informative.
This was a fabulous experience. Dante and his wife were excellent guides. We rode along the lake with stunning views. Dante was very knowledgeable & patient. He rode at the front of the group and his wife rode at the back. Highly recommend.
The bike trip was everything promised and more. Traveling by bike up the coast from Menaggio was beautiful and exciting. The bikes were in great working order which made the trip easy and fun. Pictures would never capture the beauty. Dante was the perfect host, stopping to tell us about the places we saw and when to take the best pictures. We were tired by the end of the day but saw so much of Lake Como it was worth our tired bodies. Lunch was fun because Dante was so open and friendly. 😎🤩
Dante and his wife were lovely and showed us the sights of Como. we visited the most amazing restaurant and the views were fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with exception of a fee drivers.
The best EBike experience ever! The guide Dante was amazing and showed us all the sights and brought us to the best lunch spot. Highly recommend !
What a wonderful bike ride! Dante is a great host/ guide! Very knowledgable, and he is constantly looking out for your safety and comfort. The great bike seats were an added bonus! The scenery and route are STUNNING!! Special note: In case you are concerned about sharing the tunnels with cars, you should know the tunnels have a "bike route" where you take a "no cars" alternative that not only relieves you of dealing with auto traffic, but keeps you on the outside of the tunnel where you can enjoy the lake scenery and outdoors in quiet and peace! It was awesome!! Such a beautiful ride! Thanks, Dante! You're the best!
