4 thumbs up! - What a wonderful experience! After a few hectic sightseeing days in Rome and Florence, this bike trip was an incredible change of pace. Alice was super easy to work with, and our guide Tomasso expertly took us through the Parmesan and balsamic production/tasting facilities. As amazing as the food was, it was a backseat to the lovely rolling hills around Castleveltro with scenic vineyards and farms providing the backdrop. We were even gifted some homemade honey as our trip was an anniversary celebration. Couldn’t recommend highly enough for those looking for an active escape from the city tourist activities.

Best Ride on E-Bike Yet in Italy - What a view! Thanks to the tour guide, Simone, for providing such a great e-bicycling experience in the beautiful Castelvetro areas, with grand hilltop views, a hidden jewel of vinegar making at a Church tower, and a cheese factory started 1383!

We really enjoyed our... - We really enjoyed our bike ride through the hills (thankful it was an e-bike on the uphills)-so nice to experience this beautiful region in this way. Our guide, Tommaso, was terrific, sharing his local knowledge and chatting about biking in the area. Seeing in-person how Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic vinegar have been created for generations was a highlight. We ate delicious samples and learned the difference that time can make in the flavor of these favorite foods. A lovely day, a bike ride, food, a great guide in a beautiful area-delightful!

Wonderful experience on this e-bike/ tasting tour. - This was a very well organized trip. Alice was excellent to work with during the planning. The bikes were top quality and our guide provided a very enjoyable experience! Both tours (balsamic vinegar and Parmesan) were interesting and tasty! Highly recommend this tour.

Cycle your way through beautiful Castelvetro countryside (solo traveller) - I chose to join the bike tour as a way to take a break from Modena for the day, get active, and soak in the beautiful natural surroundings.
Alice was very helpful and communicative in the days leading up to my arrival, ensuring I had everything I needed, including transport details (I caught the 740 bus from Modena Autostazione).
My guide, Tommaso, an avid mountain biker, was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the local landscape but also during our visits to the Parmigiano and balsamic vinegar producers. Meeting the artisans behind these iconic products added an authentic and memorable touch to the experience.
The terrain was gentle, and the e-bike made the few uphill stretches easy to handle. It was my first time using this type of bike, everything was well maintained, and Tommaso even offered to carry my belongings (plus 1kg of Parmigiano), in his backpack, lightning my load, which was a thoughtful gesture. Grazie mille!
All in all, a fantastic way to explore the Modena countryside—great pace, great company, and great views. I only wish it lasted longer. 10/10, highly recommended!

Best way to see Modena - My daughter and I decided to do this excursion during our quick trip to Modena and are so glad we did!
Alice communicated with us before the trip, and helped us secure a ride from our apartment to the meeting spot and back.
We met our guide/host, Tommaso,got set up with our bikes and headed out. We took a scenic route to the cheese factory and got a firsthand look at how Parmesan is made. So many great photo ops! From there, we headed to the balsamic tasting and enjoyed a private tour and tasting in a medieval tower. Of course we bought some balsamic! We ended our excursion by taking in the gorgeous countryside views on the ride back to our meeting spot.
It was the perfect morning adventure with a friendly host who did a great job explaining/answering questions, taking our pics and holding all our things in his backpack (while not riding an e-bike like us!) We would highly recommend booking this excursion if you’re in Modena!

Amazing tours, sights, tastings, and experience! - Wow, what a great experience! Since there was bad weather, our tour was adjusted to remove the e-bikes in exchange for being driven around and the addition of a wine tour/tasting after the cheese/balsamic vinegar tours/tastings!
We coordinated ahead of time for a shuttle pickup/drop off for the 6 of us at the train station and made our way to each of the 3 locations. The tours were detailed, the tastings were abundant, and our guides were joyous. Worth the trek away from the “big” cities.
