A unique way to experience the most beautiful part of Tuscany - My friend and I got a wonderful private tour with two great guides. They knew all the best paths with amazing views and the weather was perfect in mid-late May such that the views went for miles. The cheese factory was very interesting and each step of the process was explained. The balsamic vinegar part was good too; the samples were very small but the charming building and vinegar-maker made that part stand out too. The start and end point in Castelvetro is stunning, and in our case, the hosts provided direct transport to and from Modena for an extra 50 euros, which really simplified the trip. NOTE: These bikes are NOT fully electric with a throttle you can press to go forward. Instead, you need to peddle and an electric motor assists when necessary. This made all the hills very easy and it was not that strenuous despite the length, but be aware that you will be peddling yourself the entire ride.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience touring a parmigiano reggiano facility and balsamic vinegar acetaia, with tasting sessions included. The bike ride along the countryside was a highlight for us. Our tour guides Alice and Matteo did a fantastic job showing us around! Would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience! - Alessandro and Marta were amazing guides! Our family had so much fun on this tour, and we learned a lot about foods we have always enjoyed. The countryside was gorgeous, and although none of us had ever been on e-bikes before, our guides were patient and took the time to teach us how to ride them. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

Just Perfect - A Must-do Experience in Emilia-Romagna - We booked this on our second last day of a one-month holiday - and it was a highlight of a month in Italy and Croatia. Travels arrangements were made to pick us up in Modena and after a short mixup in finding our ride, we were on out way to what was an amazing day! Marta and Allessandro were our guides and they were amazing. They spoke perfect English and made our day a perfect pedal through the hills surrounding Castelvetro di Modena. Could not have been happier and could not recommend them more!

Excellent tour. Fun and informative - Fantastic Pamigiano Regiano cheese making tour. It was great to ride the bicycle through the beautiful countryside and some of the views were so amazing. We learned a lot about cheese making and just how special this cheese is( note we did a bicycle and cheese only tour). Really fun and relaxing experience. Both guides are lovely people.

This e-bike tour was highlight of our trip to Emilia-Romagna - Do this e-bike tour! It will be the highlight of your trip to the Emilia-Romagna region. The booming process was very easy and Alice and her brother Francisco were the nicest people you could ever meet. The e-bikes were very high quality and the area to meet up was easy to find with plenty of free parking (key when driving in italy). Riding in the hills of Modena was breathtaking and while a nice little workout, not hard at all. The way they organized the riding then stopping for the tastings was very well done. We loved learning about and seeing how parmigiano reggiano was made and then getting to taste the fresh ricotta (still warm!) and the various aged parmigiana was amazing! Then another gorgeous ride to the acetaia for the balsamico tasting. That was another treat as more snacks to try the balsamic on including sweets—something we would have never tried before. Don’t want yo give too much away as a few surprises are nice but just wanted to highly recommend this tour if you want something fun, active, memorable AND getting to eat some of the items this region is famous for.

Get on the bike and ride!!! You will 😃 - I just loved seeing the countryside on the ebike. The beauty of the rolling hills, the vineyards and the pride people have for their life's traditions is just amazing. Alice and Frencesco were amazing guides. They have grown up in this region and love sharing their knowledge.

Fantastic experience on e-bikes - Tour carried out on August 22nd, 37 degrees but with e-bikes everything is simpler. Matteo, our guide, was simply fabulous, friendly and funny, he provided us with a lot of information about the region and took us to visit enchanting places. The visits to the Parmigiano Reggiano factory and the balsamic vinegar cellar were very well organized and very interesting. A day that my son and I will remember with pleasure. Absolutely recommended!
