Don't think, Just rent! - Gianluca has amazing customer service, the shop was closed for the holiday period but he responded to my email straight away and opened just for me to hire a bike, as I was coming from Sydney to the North of Italy for some work. Bike was incredible, kept up with all terrain and the horses I was chasing. Would 100/10 recommend. Attached is the bike I hired in a barn in San Dona.

Fun day in countryside - Our tour guide waited for us as we missed the 1st boat. It was an easy ride along canal to our 1st stop at a neighborhood bakery. Later we visited a Villa and heard about local way of life. Had good lunch at end of ride. Highly recommend.

Beautiful way to see more than just the city - We had a wonderful time with Monica. The bike tour was designed to have just the right amount of ride and rest to allow us to see the countryside and relax. She even gave us wonderful tips about sites in the area to see - in addition to history and interesting facts along the ride. We highly recommend this trip!

Cycling the Brenta Canal - We were two families of eight people (including 4 teenagers / young adults) and hired 8 bikes to cycle along the Brenta Canal from Villa Pisani at Stra to Dolo and then on to Mira before cycling back to Villa Pisani at Stra again (where we had left our cars).
Travel & Bike (Monica, then Gianluca) were there to meet us at both ends, all the bikes were in great condition and worked perfectly. They helped us to work out the best routes and timings before we left. We had a great day out relaxing in the Veneto countryside before braving the tourist trail of Venice. Thank you very much indeed !

Great family activity. - This was a very fun day. It was wonderful to see the countryside outside of Venice. Gianni was a great guide. We made stops along the way and enjoyed the local places. My favorite stop was his home, a lovely B&B right on the river. It was very relaxing.

I can't recommend this tour enough!! - We had a fantastic time on the beautiful bike ride in the Venice countryside. We enjoyed the stop for coffee and pastry halfway through our adventure, and our final stop for cicchette at the end. We passed by gorgeous villas and Gianluca allowed us as much time as we wanted to stop and tour or take pictures. I highly recommend this tour! For us it was a wonderful break from the Easter chaos in Venice.

Amazing day trip away from the crowds - Gianluca was a gem ! We were only 2 x (my partner and I) so he tailored the tour to us - we had the most amazing day and couldn't have hoped for a better way to learn about Venetian culture, see beautiful architecture and eat delicious pasta. Couldn't recommend enough : )
