Hands down, this was the best part of our visit to Cortona! The e-bikes are clearly explained (I have only used twice before and my husband never) and are just such a game changer allowing you to explore places that would never have been possible without the ability of an elite cyclist. Our guide was amazingly informative and very personable and (thankfully!) spoke English very well. We came away with so much historic information — I simply didn’t expect that! Highly recommend!

The day could not have been better! Roberto was a fantastic guide with great knowledge of the history of Cortana, as well as the geography and the development of the area over hundreds and hundreds of years. He took us to see places that if we went on our own would have not been close to the same experience. The bikes were also excellent. Very highly recommend.

Epic bike tours was an awesome way to see beautiful Cortona and the surrounding area. Valentin was an exceptional guide and his bikes top class. He organised a personalised tour for us away from the crowds and traffic, knowing that Cortona was extremely busy the day of our tour. Valentin is a local to the area and was very passionate about showing us the beautiful countryside and explaining the history of the area. Ten out of 10 Valentin 🙌🏼

We had a wonderful time with Valentine. There were 3 couples, and we went all over Cortona and saw the most beautiful site and views. Best way to see the sites.

Our E-bike tour with Valentin was my favorite part of our 2 week trip through Italy. I had never been on an E-bike and Valentin was so helpful and patient with teaching me the ropes. Once we got going, he showed us so many beautiful sites and he knows so much history around Cortona. We ran into him the next day in Cortona and he remembered all our names. He is an amazing person and guide. Anyone traveling to the Cortona area needs to book this ride with him. It was truly magical.

Roberto was so much fun!!! Just the right blend of sightseeing and learning about Cortona. He made me feel completely at ease on the bike, and the “turbo” power for the uphill climbs made it super easy! It was a fantastico day despite the rain and chilly temps. He made the day extra special with a wonderful coffee at the end!

Such a wonderful ride (even in the rain). The highlight was definitely Eremo Le Celle. Our guide Chiara was amazing - her knowledge (both historical and environmental) and her passion for this area was inspiring.
We were very lucky to only have my husband and I on the tour so everything was very personalised.
Definitely recommend this tour - the ebike made the hills a breeze.

Fantastic tour with excellent guides and super-nice E-bikes. The route included spectacular views and a nice overview of some of the important history from this area. The bikes allowed us to cover a lot of ground while still enjoying the perfect weather and vistas.

This was quite possibly my favorite thing about our 12-day stay in Italy. Our guide Valentin was wonderful. His English is very good, and there were no communication issues. He was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the landmarks of Cortona. The e bikes make it so easy to navigate the climb of this beautiful hill town. We certainly never would have seen the things we saw had we not been on the bikes. All in all, it was a really wonderful experience. Thank you, Valentin, for a really great day.
