About this experience

Our experience is much more than a bike tour. We will cycle between wheat fields, apple trees and vineyards. You will be guided through medieval villages where you will hear the about their history and culture, their myths and legends. You will taste the local food and wine in a selected restaurant.

We will start cycling at 9am and we will finish, back on the same place, at around 2pm, when will then go for a meal. We won't be cycling all the time, as we will stop to learn about the towns we visit. During July and August we will start earlier, at 7am, to avoid the hours of highest temperatures.
