Great way to see Lake Como. Max is an experienced and knowledgeable guide and as we were the only guests he was able to give us a choice of routes. We really enjoyed our very scenic ride.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much Lynn! I very much enjoyed the morning with you!! Happy gardening ;-) and safe journeys!

This was a great bike ride through the small villages and around a good portion of the lake. This was definitely an excursion to ride a bike and not to necessarily sightsee. You really got to experience what it’s like to ride in their environment. We did stop at a couple cool spots and there was time for picture taking. Max was wonderful.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks very much Rebecca! So glad you enjoyed the trip!! Cheers, Max.

Great e bike tour with Max and Christina. Fabulous views around Lake Como. We had a great time. Thank you both
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks to you for riding with us!
Dawn_D, Jun 2025
This was a really great way to see the lake and all the beautiful spots! Max was great - helping us navigate the roads, crowds and hills! We biked around 16 miles - it was challenging but the E-bikes made it fun and manageable. One of our highlights of the area - highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks a lot for riding with us! Cheers!!
Loren_S, May 2025
Felt like going on a ride with a few buddies, good fun...awesome being on the ebike for the steep climbs...absolutely recommend, special thanks to Max our guide 👌
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks to you! Next time give us 5 stars! :-)

Max took us on an unbelievable bike ride through towns on Lake Como stopping to explain and give history on areas we visited. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient as there was a fashion show going on and the streets were crowded. I would highly recommend this tour to see some of the hidden treasures of the area.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks Debbie!! It was a pleasure riding with you! Congrats for your confidence whilst riding and it was fun sneaking through Chanel fashion show in Villa d'Este!! LoL & Cheers!!
Valerie_L, Sep 2024
Fantastic tour through the hills of Lake Como! The tour guides were super knowledgeable of the area and made sure everyone felt safe on our ride! Definitely a great way to experience the Lake Como area. Their suggestions for local restaurants were great too! The bikes were in excellent condition and meeting location was easy to find.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
So glad you liked it! Yes we love food too and happy to share some experiences with you riding with us! Cheers!!
Rachel_K, Sep 2024
We loved this tour! Max, Christina, and Lorenzo were all incredibly friendly and great guides for the tour. They did a great job keeping us safe and taking us to some beautiful spots! Our original tour was cancelled due to weather, but Max made sure we could attend the next day and moved everything for us. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! Absolutely would recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thanks Rachel for being flexible on your date of tour! I'm glad we had chance to ride together and so happy you liked the experience!

This was a dissapointing adventure. Some of the disappointment was due to the weather (down-pouring rain) which they have no control over. However, they wanted to push on anyway and instead of cancelling, they cut it to a ride that was just over an hour long as opposed to the 3 hours advertised. We didn’t get to go up to Switzerland or see the vineyards as advertised. No partial refund or any other conciliation. Considering the price, not worth it. We did a similar e-bike ride in Sonoma this year that was significantly less expensive and included lunch and three wine tastings that was amazing. Maybe they set my expectation bar too high.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Sorry to see you were not happy in Lake Como nevertheless, you did the whole 25km ride smiling and saying it was nice after we finished. I'm surprised to hear your words and if you had any suggestions or complaint you could have shared your point face to face whilst we were riding or at the end of the trip: we're always happy to learn!
Kind regards.

There were 15 of us in the group, teens to adults, and everyone had a great time! Lorenzo was a great guide and kept everyone engaged and safe. My only suggestion would be if they could get everything(helmets, bike sizing) done before. We spent the first 30 minutes of the tour doing these types of things so the tour is more like 2.5 not 3 hours. Aside from that it was awesome and would definitely recommend!
Ashley_J, Aug 2024
We had a wonderful time biking through the old villages of Como. Lorenzo was a very experienced and fun guide and was kind enough to text us recommendations for places to eat and visit while in Como. We highly recommend this tour.
Alex_K, Jul 2024
This tour was one of the most memorable events that we did on a 10-day trip through Europe. Max, our guide, was super friendly and was professional in navigating our group through the streets of Como and beyond. The views that we saw through the ride were incredible. I definitely recommend using the eBike option as there are some steep climbs as you head towards the Swiss border. I cannot recommend this tour and Max enough!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thanks for your wonderful words!! It's been a pleasure riding with your group!
Lisa_M, Jul 2024
Our group loved seeing the amazing Lake Como area from various viewpoints around the lake. My husband and I and our two daughters (ages 24 and 26) had fun on the e-bikes with our great tour guide Max. He customized our route and explained Lake Como history and highlights of various landmarks along the way. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a blast!
Jane_B, Jun 2024
What a way to see Lake Como! Our guides Max and Lorenzo were so friendly and kept us all safe and together. The e-bikes were amazing! The ride and views spectacular!
Lisa_S, Jun 2024
We had a great tour through small villages all the way up to a waterfall and finally to Swiss border! Highly recommend!
Nicole_W, Jun 2024
The bike tour has been one of the best moments of our trip. Our guides were fantastic. The length of the trip was perfect. I would highly recommend.
Lindsay_B, Jun 2024
We had a great time exploring the mountain side of Como on the tour! E-Bikes are awesome and you get so see SO much of the beautiful area. Just be ready to BIKE because those hills are no joke (even with the E-Bike!) and you'll also do a lot of maneuvering through people and roads, sidewalks etc. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thanks to you!! we love when you say it's sporty! Next time give us 5 stars! :-)
Kathy_Z, May 2024
We had a great time with Max and Christina!
Beautiful scenery and lots of fun. The bikes are easy to ride. Would definitely recommend.
Leo_K, May 2024
Max was an awesome guide, the bikes worked great and the route was very nice and great views. I personally prefer more views and going thru villages or riding along the lakeside, so could have done without few of the stops on this route. But was very pleased with the overall tour.
Karey_H, May 2024
I would highly recommend this Bike Tour! The guide was a wonderful person to deal with! He was very customer focused, easy to deal with and I plan on booking again when I go back to Lake Como. My bike tour got cancelled due to rain but it was not an issue and he tried to make it work several times but the weather wouldn't cooperate and I got my refund very easily. Thanks again!
Julie_S, May 2024
So fun! We loved riding around Lake Como on this tour. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable going without a guide. We saw some beautiful views and the ebikes were so fun.
Dawnell_K, Apr 2024
Amazing ride in one of the most beautiful areas on earth. Highly recommend the ride. Shout out to Max for being a great guide
Stacy_F, Apr 2024
Beautiful views of lake como! Tour guide was great. He showed us some neat parts of the city. Great excursion!
AnnMarie_R, Apr 2024
Max did an excellent job of telling us a few details about the area. The bike ride with the E-bike assist made biking so easy. It was a safe trip with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding areas. It ended up being just the two of us on his tour, so that was a nice surprise. Just as many have written before me, use the bathroom before you show up there is no where to go on the trip, you make quick photo stops but you pretty much ride the entire time. You go high into the hills and every photo you take will be magnificent! Well worth it and we will do it again.
Debbie_P, Apr 2024
Loved biking through the hills around lake como. The experience was great and the views were magnificent!! Such a perfect day!!
Ryan_C, Nov 2023
The guide was super nice and knowledgeable about the area and made sure that we were all safe while on the roads. Had a blast the entire time and man are the e-bikes fun to ride!
Kathleen_F, Oct 2023
I did this with a friend, definitely need the electric part for some of the hills. Would suggest that there are a few more stops with opportunity to take some pics of the history we were hearing about. Stopping at a vineyard description was a bit of a stretch. You stop along a road just over the Swiss border to look at a vineyard below you. You don't actually go to the vineyard and visit it. All in all, you will definitely get a good ride of about 15 Miles. Would also be good to have a map emailed ahead so you know the route you are going to be taking, should you want to delve in a bit first.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks for your words, in very rare occasions (2-3 days/year) access to vineyards is not allowed because producers have to make treatments.
We make at least 4 stops at key points to look at the heritage and landscapes.
A video trace of the ride is available upon request at the end of the ride.
But we are happy you enjoyed the trip!
Darcy_E, Oct 2023
We enjoyed the E-bike tour. We were able to see parts of the community of Lake Como we never would have experienced. You cover a lot of ground on the bike. The e-bike eco, sport and turbo modes were fun. Still got a great workout. We were at the back of the pack so never could hear the description of the area of our stops. That said, we would do it again.
Thordis_A, Sep 2023
Lorenzo was a fantastic guide - had a lovely time biking around the area !
He spoke good english and was very helpful with everything we asked for.
Would do it again 100% - next time will be mountain bike tour though ☺️
Susan_S, Sep 2023
We rode to some scenic places near Lake Como. I would not recommend this for novice bike riders. Some of the trip is on busy streets. We had some tentative riders in our group and the guide Max was not very patient with them. I know he was trying to keep our group together but he could have been nicer about it. But I found the ride to be enjoyable and scenic.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks Susan for liking the ride! Only basic skills are required to take part to the ride such having good balance on the bike and being able to ride at a slow speed of 10 miles/hour. We try our best to keep the group cohesive and ask guest not to stay too far from each other for your safety and to let you enjoy the experience at best. Guides cannot have an optimal control of the group if it keeps spreading with gaps of 100 or 200 yards cause the situation gets untidy. That’s why we slow the front and encourage the back to regroup if a gap happens. We try to do that with the most possible kindness hoping not to repeat that same thing too often.
