Great city overview but crowded

Brodie_B, Mar 2026

I enjoyed getting about 9km of light pedaling around Milan, this was a new activity I have not previously done. However, I was extremely surprised by the crowds of people we had to navigate through. This for me personally was very stressful and challenging, especially since I do not have much experience with crowds of people. I completed the tour having gotten a glimpse of what exist around Milan. The English speaker was outstanding, she was energetic and clear to understand. The biking saved a lot of time compared to walking but when finished I needed some quiet time to decompress from the massive crowds of tourist and locals.

Great knowledge &...

Adam_B, Feb 2026

Great knowledge & history! Thanks for having me on a good tour and for the thoughtful rest break along the way

Very nice tour guide,...

James_L, Feb 2026

100/10 stars!

Amelia_H, Oct 2025

I cannot imagine any activity being more fun than this tour was! So interesting and a refreshing way to spend the morning. Thank you Paulo!

Good guide but group is too big

ryanmcgrotty, Sep 2025

The guide is great and the tour is interesting. However, the group is too large (14 people) and the roads are not great for biking. This leads to feeling like you’re the “big group tour” ruining the experience for everyone else who has to wait for the group to pass. It’s just way too crowded to have 14 people on bikes in pedestrian area. Lots of dirty looks and annoyed pedestrians around us most of the time. The other thing is the roads suck for bikes. Lots of cobblestone and brick roads where you’re vibrating along the road. Even the dedicated bike paths aren’t paved.

Loved it!

Gaston_N, Sep 2025

Covers the entire city. Very friendly guide. Good pace. Informative. Wish had done it the first day in Milan.

Great tour

Gaither_D, Sep 2025

Bike tour…well worth it!

The only way to experience Milan

Jayne_E, Jun 2025

A huge thank you to Sandra for an amazing morning touring Milan. We learnt so much & saw so many interesting sites, never once feeling tired! We still cannot believe how far we travelled but it never felt long. For our 11 & 14 yr olds, they handled it well & Sandra always had their safety a priority. Even as the day became warmer, it never felt too hot with plenty of water stops in the shade plus yum gelato. Bikes were comfortable & in great conditions. Our family will have wonderful memories of Milan - thank you so much Sandra!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Jayne, It was very nice to have you in my group in Milan! Thank you for your kind words and I hope to have you with us again soon for more rides! All the best, Sandra Bikethecity Bike Tours and City Experiences Milan, Turin and Verona

See the city while getting some exercise

Scott_T, Jun 2025

Exercise, history, and a charming tour guide. My daughter and I enjoyed the experience and our guide (the owner) was a sweetheart who was very patient (especially with the bridal party also on the trip, who were a bit pre-occupied with themselves!)

Good fun and informative

Bernard_M, Oct 2024

Riding around parts of Milan with Paolo was fun. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. It rained a little so we required the raincoats for a short time, we felt safe and the ride wasn’t too strenuous. Would definitely recommend this bike tour.

Don't miss this bike tour when visiting Milan!

Richard_H, Sep 2024

We really enjoyed our 3+ hour Milan bike tour - Angelo is an excellent guide keeping us all safe on the Milan streets and pathways - and very well informed. Compared to a walking tour we covered a huge amount of territory and learnt heaps about Milan. The bikes are basic - just one gear - but perfectly adequate for the tour. Thoroughly recommended. Richard & Helen (New Zealand)

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Richard and Helen, also on behalf of Angelo, thank you very much for joining us in Milan and for your great review!

Amy_H, Jun 2024

The tour guide was extremely kind and very knowledgeable. It was an excellent experience. One should have some bike skills though. Streets are narrow with lots of pedestrians.

Great tour!

Nadine_D, Jun 2024

We loved this tour. It was the best/fun way to see the city and hear the history. We were only in town for one day and if we just walked around in our own we would have missed so much of the history. Marco was a wonderful tour guide.

Enjoyed parts of tour but...

Zuwena_N, Mar 2024

Enjoyed parts of tour but wish we could of had a longer break and stopped off at the water fountain.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Guest, thank you for joining us in Milan and posting your review. We are very glad that you enjoyed the experience of visiting Milan by bike and yes, usually the break is longer, but due to guests' slight delay, the tour started a little late, unfortunately, so we had to compress the break. Anyway, we know that sometimes it is hard to be on time when you are in a city you don't know and we still try to do everything to not undermine the experience and show you the most of our city from the absolute best viewpoint: the saddle of a bike! We wish you all the best, ciao! Francesca co-founder Bikethecity® Milan, Rome, Turin, Verona
