Beautiful day! - Last Saturday we took part in a splendid bicycle ride with Salento Bici Tour. Our guide, Ilenia, very kind and professional, guided us to discover the area of Otranto and its surroundings, showing us some "gems" that we would never have discovered on our own. opportunity to see. It was a very pleasant day spent with friends and trip companions we met at the moment, but above all modulated according to our needs. Well done!!! Everything was perfect!!! We would like to repeat the experience with another of your proposals.

Salento bike tour - Beautiful experience among menhirs and dolmens with lots of history and nature. The stop at Porto Badisco and the visits to Punta Palascia (the easternmost point of Italy) and the bauxite quarries were the icing on a relaxing and fun experience. Carlo, like the entire Salento Bici Tour team, are highly trained people who pay attention to the experience of the participants, with good quality bikes, including electric ones. Highly recommended

A wonderful day with Carlo to recommend - A very nice day with a guide who shares his passion of his land. We drove in very beautiful small country roads, discovered some monoliths and caves as well as their stories. Beautiful landscapes at the end of the day, along the coast. Very good & new e-bikes .

Incredible coastal bike tour in Salento - It was a joy dealing with Carlo from beginning to end. He promptly responded to all inquiries and made helpful suggestions leading up to the tour. Our trip along the coast from Otranto to Tricase was wonderful! Carlo shared delightful stories about Salento during photo ops, food tastings and coffee breaks. He is multilingual, knowledgeable, kind and a lot of fun. I highly recommend Salento Bici Tour!

Bici tour Salento is super to discover Otranto area. - Carlo took us from start to finish in his story about Otranto area. Seen many unknown places where you can normally never get by car. This 37km bike ride takes you mainly on roads through the hinterland and sometimes even gravel paths. Eaten tasty figs along the way, freshly picked. In short, fun day in good company.
