What to expect
You'll spend roughly two to four hours cycling between landmarks, with the pace dictated by stops rather than speed. The e-bike motor handles steep climbs, leaving you to focus on the scenery and what your guide is explaining. Expect cobbled sections, some uneven surfaces, and the occasional tight corner through town. You'll visit three significant sites—a villa, fortress, and basilica—each warranting a dismount and brief exploration. Weather exposure is real, so bring sun protection and water.
Good to know
Bike-riding experience is essential; e-bikes still require steering and balance. Infant seats and pet trailers available on request. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public transport connects to the meeting point. Tour duration includes travel time between stops.
