Biking in Orvieto - The guide was super. Knowledge about regional wineries and history was a nice plus. Ride is physically challenging. Wear comfortable clothes.

Favorite Experience - Family of 5, parents and college age kids. This trip was one of the highlights of our time in Italy. Great way to see the countryside. Paolo was a wonderful guide, attentive to our clumsy bike riding, we enjoyed his company. The winerys are beautiful and each different. Plenty of wine and food. It started to rain on our last part, so he quickly arranged a van to take us to the last place. We never felt rushed from each place. The last stop is in Orvieto, a unique, quaint hill town not to be missed.

Worth it! - Paola was the best! He was so patient with us as inexperienced bike riders. The ride was hard, but each stop made the ride worth it! I wish we knew the wineries we went to, but I can’t recall their names. They aren’t the ones on the sample itinerary, but the food at each stop was great and Paolo was a great host and conversationalist. I would recommend this activity on a trip to Orvieto! Paolo l, if you read this, please let us know the first winery (with the chickens and cats and books hanging from the tree). It was great and we want to return!

Great day learning about Orvieto Classico - We had a great time on this tour! Fabulous wineries with excellent guides at each stop to help you learn about Orvieto Classico wines. Good food and beautiful scenery. The e-bikes were definitely necessary to get up the Umbrian hills and was a good workout even with the e-bike boost. Definitely recommend for this seeking an adventure outside of Orvieto.

Fun way to taste some great Wine - Great way to take in the Italian Countryside. The wineries were excellent, and our guides were great. Some advice, get to know your bicycle, as there are some challenging hills and gravel that will test your bike handling skills.

A must do when in Tuscany or Umbria!! - We ended up having a rainy day however Paulo managed to make it happen. He was an incredible guide and historian. So passionate and knowledgeable. The wineries were each unique and special in their own way. One including a recently discovered Etruscan cave which you can visit! We were so happy to have experienced each. Paulo is a gem! You'd be fortunate to spend an afternoon with him. Highly recommend this tour.

So Disappointed - We were really looking forward to exploring the Umbria countryside by bike. Unfortunately, they showed up with bikes too big for my wife to touch the ground. Mario was very helpful in trying to adjust the bikes, but they were too big and it wasn’t safe for us to go. Would have given higher rating if Paolo offered more of a refund.
