Fantastic support from Bike it Bellagio ! - My friend and me wanted to loop the lake of Como and also climb Ghisallo and Muro Di Sormano on 25.09 and were looking for an experienced guide so that we do not lose time looking for the right way and get some support in case of technical issues. Reached out to Bike It Bellagio on 23.09 evening, Casey responded 24.09 in the morning clarifying the details of what we wanted to do. What we wanted to do was far more than clients normally ask for, but Casey very quickly advised that she had a proper guide for us. All other shops we reached out could not provide a guide on such a short notice. We made the payment and in the morning of 25.09 our guide Luca picked us from the train at St Giovanni. Luca is a young guy in his early twenties, passionate about cycling and also a nice and kind personality. He picked the right pace suiting our condition from the start and was so kind to pull our little train the entire way so that we save power for the final two climbs. And we did ! We managed to do both Ghisallo and the wall of sormano after 150km along the shores of the majestic Como lake. After the epic climbs we still had to do 20km back to St Giovanni station in Como and Luca was again leading the train and saw us off right at the station. The timing was just perfect, we said big thanks and bye to Luca and jumped on our train completely happy and a bit tired :) This was an amazing experience which will stay in our memories. Thanks Casey for connecting us to the right guide ! Thanks Luca for making this happen. It would not have been possible without you providing your rear wheel to us and your perfect knowledge of local roads !

Great Experience with Bike It! Bellagio! - Fantastic experience with Bike It! Bellagio. Casey and team were super easy to deal with over email and provided all the information necessary. When we arrived, Casey, Luca and Alex got us set up quickly and easily. We rented Bianchi e-bikes and they were great. Our guide, Emanuela Vola, was amazing! She was friendly, communicative, super strong and knew exactly the type of ride we were looking for. We did the TUESDAY: GHISALLO & SORMANO daily guided tour, which couldn't have been better. Good climbs, great views, a trip to the Ghisallo Museum. Exceeded all of our expectations. Would highly recommend.

Highlight of Bellagio - Fantastic guides who looked after us well - I haven’t ridden for about 10 years and my husband hardly rides. Was easily achievable thanks to the quality e-bikes. Lots of wonderful photo opportunities and a great visit to the Ghisallo - a museum dedicated to cyclists. Thanks Alex and Matteo 🙂

Best way to enjoy Lake Como! - This was the best guided bike tour ever. First of all the bikes were top of the line Bianchi. Perfect working order Shoes and helmets included. Our guides took us for 2 days of great riding. I rented a road bike and the Mrs and Ebike. The first day was beautiful scenic rides with stops for historical sites and great vistas. The second day was up the Ghisallo which was tons of fun. The Mrs now wants a new Bianchi….

Fantstic! Amazing Bikes, Amazing People - These guys are amazing! I was in Como for a week, I did one of their tours, which was fantastic on my second day. I also hired a bike for about three days so I could do some amazing rides in the area including the Ghisallo. You can hire fantastic bikes for a good price. Even the 'mid rage' are brand new Bianchi's equipped with Di2. They make sure you are all fitted and set up before you ride off. They have every thing you need at the shop also, clothing, gels, drinks etc. You can do a bunch of ride sections you will see in the Tour de Lombardy and Tour de Italia in the area. Great group of people and I was so lucky this place is there!

Amazing ebike tour - We had an amazing day with Gabriel! Our family of 5 (incl 3 adult children) had a private ebike tour to a winery in Domaso. We took the ferry across the lake and then biked 28km to the northern tip of Lake Como. We stopped along the way for Gabriel to point out key sites. At the winery, we had a wonderful lunch and tasted 3 different kinds of wine. One of the best days of our entire vacation!
