Fun and exciting historical tour. - Marat was our guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He knows all about the roman structures, churches, and villas on the route. He also brought us to a natural sparkling water source to collect water for free and showed us a local market to buy wines dispensed by the litre!
The lunch served was gourmet and felt very expensive for a bike tour.
The e-bike worked well and little to no effort is needed to pedal.
Experience mountain biking would have helped as the route is off trail at times.

Excellent trip - This trip was excellent. Our guide Amelio was very informative. If you are thinking about doing it be aware it’s a long trip with a lot of biking on some uneven ground. Still a fab trip though, would definitely highly recommend.

Adventures with Mario - This was so much fun. On top of regular tour scenes,
we got to see parks, country side, an outdoor market and estates. Mario and Maria made us a fantastic meal mid way through. We saw a lot more than we were expecting. I suggest wearing clothes you don't mind getting dusty.
