Great afternoon around Lake Como
We very much enjoyed the ride. Max adjusted the pace and route to fit our abilities. We did the ride through the park and crossed over into Switzerland. The views were spectacular. We both enjoyed the experience and I would highly recommend this ride.

Amazing team
So happy and grateful that I did the Ghisallo climb with Como Bike tour Team. Thanks to Max and Loranzo who were so professional and encourage me to do it.
We started at como than Nesso,Bellagio
Ghisallo (climb). There, we saw the iconic
Madonna del ghisallo (church). Than we return back to como. I can't wait to come back to Italy and ride more with them.

Best bike ride ever!
Max provided a perfect tour weaving in and out of Italy and Switzerland. He is a great guide and makes you feel very comfortable right from the beginning. There are a lot of questions when traveling to another country - will the bike fit, will the terrain be manageable, will the guide provide a route I want....all 100% met.

Beautiful itinerary Lake Como and really well guided.
Beautiful itinerary - 60 km road cycling around Lake Como and really well guided by Max. I would consider myself a beginner in road biking and Max adapted very well to my pace and gave me some useful tips. I’m sure this is worth and suitable for all levels. You can even choose different bikes. He also explained and highlighted many beautiful spots around the lake. Such a beautiful day!

Great choice for a challenging route.
Como bike tours is definitely the right choice if you want the perfect day riding to Ghisallo and Sormano from Como. For me it was a dream come true and I could not be more pleased with the professionalism from the lead guide and owner Max. His expert route guidance, advice and pacing helped ensure every detail on our ride was perfect. I had only one day this year and maybe ever for this ride to happen and I could not be more happy with my choice to hire Como Bike Tours for this especially challenging route.

Thanks a lot! That’s one of the best routes here in Lake Como: congrats for riding it so nicely!

Ghisallo + Muro di Sormano
Perfect guided tour from Max! Lets you know about this and that you will see passing through the villages or landscapes. He also takes care on your pace, give's you the opportunity to ride some parts on your own pace.
Highly recommended for any tours in the greater area of Como!

Thanks a lot for your nice words and for riding together one of the most iconic itineraries in Lake Como!!

Como bike tour
The guide , Max, was very good and tailored the ride to our abilities. We ended up going for a 20 mile tour up hilly terrain thru vineyards to the Swiss border. We both are relatively fit.
The original tour should mention it is 40 miles as 2 of our people decided not to go due to the length.
We used E-bikes for the 20 miles tour which made the hills very easy.
Operator response
Thanks Cathy for your review! I am glad you enjoyed the ride and had fun with the ebikes!! Congratulation for choosing to add also some off-road sections!!
P.S. all itineraries show distance and elevation gain details in description, "Bike and Sail to Bellagio" itinerary description starts as follow: "a relaxed 60 km ride..." 60 km = 37miles

Exactly what I was hoping for!
I would highly recommend Como Bike Tours after my experience and can be a great option for a wide range of fitness levels. The tour guide Max was all around fantastic. He was very accommodating and flexible to optimize the ride details and logistics to maximize my experience. I booked tours on back to back days to get some quality riding in while I was traveling for work and away from my bike. My wife was able to join the trip at the last minute and updating the reservation was very easy. Como had heavy rain the first morning and Max did a great job of communicating and adjusting our start time and were lucky to be able to ride later in the day despite the weather. The routes were well planned and was some of the most picturesque riding I have done around the world. I had thought about renting a bike and riding on my own but was glad I had booked the guide to help navigate the routes and traffic. The trip ended up being exactly what I was hoping for and a great all-around experience!

Great bike tour of Lake Como
I really enjoyed my bike tour around Lake Como with Max! We rode up into the mountains and crossed the border into Switzerland which was really cool. It was great seeing the lake from the mountains, wonderful views and a great overall experience.
