Katia the bike tour guide was awesome! My husband and I had the best time on this incredible bike tour throught the city and in the hills of Bologna. Highly recommend this tour. The pace was perfect and just right. Highlights - ending up at beautiful San Luca church - amazing! And having a drink and a bite to eat at a charming cafe. Katia was so nice and knowledgeable. Can't wait to come back and explore Bologna more. Thank you! Jen and Jon Ward, USA
We had booked directly through this company and slight hiccup with start of our tour, we had forgotten to confirm / pay. The owner herself came and sorted it all out and we had an amazing tour. This is definitely worth the experience. We got so many great views, she took very nice pictures of us. We got to use the e-bikes to see so much of the outer part of Bologna that we would not have been able to see alone. We highly recommend this company for any experiences they offer.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! While we always love a smooth start, little hiccups happen to the best of us, and it was truly our pleasure to step in, sort everything out, and get your adventure rolling. Hearing that you had an amazing time exploring the outer parts of Bologna on our e-bikes—and that you loved the views and the photos—means the absolute world to us. Showing visitors the hidden gems they wouldn't find on their own is our greatest passion. Thank you again for your high recommendation and for trusting us with your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Bologna for another unforgettable ride soon! Warmest regards, Giorgia
Familiarity with cycling is useful for this tour, but the e-bikes do a lot of the actual effort, especially on the hills of Bologna. My partner and I like to book bike tours of the cities we visit, and this tour was one of our favorites. We got to see a lot of places we wouldn’t have thought to (or been able to) access without bikes, and the final lunch was a great way to cap off our adventure. Our guide Roxy was fantastic! She had multiple suggestions for the itinerary based on our comfort on the bikes as well as interest in different sites. She was so generous with not only her time and knowledge, but also her personal experience with the city of Bologna. It seems the tour groups are managed so that you’ll never be in a group too large to hear and follow your guide.
Dear Leah, Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are so glad to hear that this became one of your favorite city bike tours. You hit the nail on the head—our e-bikes are total lifesavers when it comes to tackling Bologna's hills, letting everyone enjoy the ride without breaking too much of a sweat! Roxy will be over the moon to read your kind words. She truly has a gift for tailoring every ride to the group's comfort level, and she loves sharing her personal stories and deep connection to Bologna with travelers. It’s also wonderful to know that keeping our groups intimate made it easy for you to connect and follow along. And a fantastic final lunch sounds like the absolute best reward after a great ride! Thank you again for your wonderful recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for many more bike adventures on your future travels! Warmest regards, Giorgia
This was a lot of fun Chiara was really nice. The other two people on the tour didn't turn up so we had her undivided attention. We visited San Michele in Bosco and San Lucca which we both stunning in particular San Lucca. As a cyclist I didn't find the cycling too challenging particularly on an electric bike but my wife who isn't a cyclist found it challenging but manageable. Bologna is a beautiful place to cycle.
Dear Gary, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It sounds like you got the ultimate VIP treatment with a private tour—Chiara definitely loved having you both to herself! San Michele in Bosco and San Luca are absolute gems, and San Luca truly has a way of stealing the show with those stunning views. We love your perspective on the cycling. It's so true that e-bikes are a fantastic equalizer: giving seasoned cyclists a fun spin while making the hills totally manageable for anyone who doesn't ride as often. Kudos to your wife for tackling them like a pro! Thank you again for sharing your experience and for pointing out how great Bologna is to explore on two wheels. We hope to welcome you both back for another ride soon! Warmest regards, Giorgia
We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Guide was great and the trip was highly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
This was by far, the best tour we’ve been on. Luca was awesome. He knew Bologna and the history very well. The e-bike was a wonderful way to see the city. It was easy to ride, especially up hills.
This is a very active, fun and fabulous toBologna is gorgeous and the countryside above it is beautiful as well!! Highly recommend!
Matteo was excellent - provided a ton of history and insights on Bologna throughout the trip. We loved the views of the city and having such a small group to do the tour with. Highly recommend!
Good way of seeing the city but cannot believe they didn’t provide water bottle at the start or at least let us know to buy one for the journey. Also the appertiv is not good (unlike their photos!) so don’t go for this either
This was an excellent e-bike tour. Our guide was Fabrizio and he was great - he is very knowledgeable about Bologna and its history, and the tour covered parts of the city center, the surrounding hills, and Santa Luca. He also gave us some great recommendations for places to see in Bologna. The bikes were great and the electric assist was powerful and helpful!
Dear Kerstin, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Fabrizio and had a great time exploring Bologna. We hope to see you again soon! Best, the Slow Emotion Team
