What a wonderful day! Oscar and his colleague were such great communicators from start to finish in English to share their lovely countryside with our group of 8. They were patient and keen on safety prior to our journey. Thank you for a beautiful memory of Cortona!!
Great time with wonderful tour guides. The only thing is they may want to change there heading. Half day tour insinuates a 4 hour tour. This tour lasted 1 and half hours. It was totally enough for us but not sure I would call it a half day tour. Still loved it and the guides were very safe.
fantastic morning on an ebike in Cortona! Luca was our amazing guide and took us to many of the beautiful sites around Cortona. We would highly recommend
Luca took us to see amazing places we would have otherwise missed. A bit of a workout, but manageable.
It’s amazing! There is as much or little effort as you want. Bring water, sunscreen, and a great attitude! Oscar was very patient and knowledgeable.
Do this. E-bikes transport you through beautiful Cortona and many places off the beaten path. Oscar was our guide and his knowledge of the area, the trails, streets and history made this so enjoyable. The biking is not strenuous and the bikes can provide as much or as little assist as the rider prefers. We did about 30 kilometers through spectacular Tuscany countryside and saw castles, cathedrals, a mountain top monastery, gardens in bloom, tasted lavender, other herbs and wild spices along the way. We trekked along wooded trails, mountain paths, city streets with ease. Oscar (guide) made this experience so pleasant. My wife and I easily give this tour 5+ stars. Ask for Oscar, you won't be disappointed.
Fabulous day touring with Luca. We cruised on our Emile’s all over Cortona! It would be impossible to see all tge wonderful views if not for Luca and using an Ebike. This was one of our very favorite things we did in Tuscany!
This was such an amazing experience riding through the countryside of Cortona! The views were spectacular and our guide Luca made it extra special. We chose a beautiful day to ride and were able to stop & take lots of photos. I’d highly recommend the E-bike experience especially with Luca who was so knowledgeable and fun!!! This was one of the highlights of our vacation! We would do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it for those who like to enjoy the outdoors and are looking for a fun adventure right here in beautiful Cortona!!!
What an incredible morning! Our tour guide, Oscar was born & raised in Cortona and shared his personal stories as well as the history of the area. Having an e-bike was a dream & allowed you to look around at the stunning beauty surrounding you & not have to work too hard. What an enjoyable way to take in the countryside. 100% worth it!
We love Cortona! We haven’t been on bicycles in over 25 years and Luca had us tackling the hills in and around Cortona like pros! Great little shop, well maintained equipment and great patience and understanding, Luca shared his love of both bicycling and Cortona with us with joy and enthusiasm. Basilica Santa Margarita, villa Bramasole (Frances Mayes/Under the Tuscan Sun) and Le Celle di Cortona were the highlights. We had perfect weather, we would have been much more intimidated with the hills and valleys if it were wet and raining, but other than some fog, the views were spectacular. Thank you Luca for a wonderful morning bike ride!
