Very nice tour of nearby trails in the mountains around Lake Como. Max took us through the forest to breathtaking views, WW1 trenches, and even into Switzerland.

Como Mountain Biking
Awesome tour in the mountains around Como. Max is very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. He was able to cater the ride to me (avid mountain biker looking for challenges) and my wife (novice mountain biker trying to survive). Would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure in the mountains.

Must-do activity near Como!
Such an amazing experience and a fun way to see Como and surrounding cities! Our guide Lorenzo was so fun and charismatic! We biked around some historical landmarks from WWI and had some amazing views of the lake! Lorenzo was very patient and fun to bike with. The company as a whole was so kind, informative and accommodating. It was my friends first time mountain biking and she loved it! Would 100% recommend!!!
