This was one of the funnest experiences of our 11 day trip to Italy. Our guide, Alex, was friendly, fun, and informative. We rode down tiny cobblestone paths and visited small lake-side villages not generally seen by tourists. This was a 5-Star tour!
Wow! This was a full experience. Don’t mistake this for just a bike ride. It’s SO much more and will leave you appreciating the true Bellagio. Our e-bike guide, Stephano, was fantastic at showing us a different side of all the places you may already know but more importantly the cute places you wouldn’t have ever known otherwise. He gave us choices for easy paths and hard paths (choose hard! The e-bikes will do the hard work if you don’t want to). We saw the most adorable hidden villages and streets far from the ferry terminal. And a literal breathtaking view of Bellagio. But that was just the start. After that, we were shuttled to Il Perlo for an outstanding lunch on the terrace with a view that I truly believe may be THE best in all of Italy. This was one of my top 5 meal experiences of all time. Then after that, you’re shuttled to the I Giardini di Villa Melzi (garden), for a beautiful stroll through the most well landscaped, and interesting garden with picturesque views of the lake. This will be a highlight of your trip. Book this.
Over 5 hours of activities in one experience. You start with your guide seeing the town before it gets super busy via ebike. He took us to some cool spots no cars can go without other tourists. Next a shuttle picked us up and we had a wonderful lunch with an amazing viewpoint of the lake. Finally the shuttle takes you to a villa where you can see the most amazing plants, trees, and flowers. Great value in this experience. 5/5
Simone was an amazing guide. We had so much fun, and the scenery is so beautiful. Three in the group were not cyclist and they did great with the E-assist (cheat assist). Would do again. As a cyclist loved the hills, as it was a dream fulfilled cycling in Italy. Personally wanted to go faster downhill, but I understand the need for safety. Thank you for a perfect day. Lunch was perfection. It was so good we went back for dinner, plus the view was unforgettable.
Alberto was a fantastic guide for our biking trip around Bellagio! The bikes are in very good condition and we were able to see so much more of Bellagio than if we were walking. We highly recommend this tour!
Great way to see parts of the city you wouldn’t normally see, good exercise, wonderful guide, delicious lunch with spectacular view, gardens were beautiful. Fun filled day!
Amazing tour and the best way to get around Bellagio. We saw it all! Alberto was a terrific guide. He took us to all the best sites. The lunch was a wonderful surprise in a boutique wine cellar / restaurant. And the villa Melzi Gardens were gorgeous!
We were blessed by the weather which made it an enjoyable morning. However, this bike tour is a total rip off for what you get! Our guide was a lovely guy and knew where to go but wasn’t particularly forthcoming with local knowledge/facts/stories. The 3 course lunch advertised was only a 2 course lunch. Overall, a nice way to see Bellagio but you could easily do this my hiring bikes yourself and saving a small fortune!
Very nice tour with nice guide who spoke good English. We got to see a lot of Bellagio and the surrounding area. Good lunch with a fantastic view.
Stefano was excellent guide!! Really enjoyed the bike ride. The lunch venue was excellent, by the food could have been better given we paid over $400 for 2 people. Also we met couple of people on the shuttle that had almost the same food. We asked the restaurant if we could sit together and they refused. It surprises us the level of inflexibility and lack of service in Milan and Lake Como. Villa Melzi was fantastic. Overall my rating is 5 star, but the entire thing is a bit over priced. Perhaps Viator is taking too much Commision?
