Can highly recommend this tour, the cycling is easy so don't worry about that. The guide is so knowledgeable, she took us round many parts of the city we wouldn't have to without this tour. She talked both about the past but for me most interestingly the current geopolitical issues of the city. Probably the best guide of our visit to Italy so far.

Our guide was excellent. The bikes were in perfect working order. There were enough stops. The weather cooperated and we saw more of Milan and learned more than had we walked or biked solo.

Overview

Our guide was very professional, full of interesting information about Milano. The bikes were in super good condition, the best bikes I have ever rode on, really. (Some german make called “Gujereit”, with some smooth gear-change that you didn’t even notice when you changed gears.) We left right on time, we were given enough time for taking pictures, regular stops, basic necessity. Even if you have been to Milano before, this bike tour will make you discover new areas that you have not seen before I am sure. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone, I am happy with my experience!

Great historic overview

Justin_B, Oct 2026
Guide was knowledgeable and attentive to the group. This would be a good tour to take if you have a short period of time to see Milan. Also would be good to take at the beginning of a trip to get tips on what to do in the area.

Great experience!We had a wonderful ride through Milan. We hadn’t ridden bicycles in 20 years and throughly enjoyed our ride!

Great tour

Anne_T, Jun 2026
Great bikes, lovely informative guide, slow pace with lots of stops in shaded areas to tell some history, water provided and a refreshing icelolly at the end.

Good Effort Great Rewards

Bing_T, Jun 2026
Nice bike ride and in-depth learning about Milan history as well as chic neighborhood stops. A must do if interested in Milan’s history and culture. The shop is a bit hard to get to. Best way to get to “Equilibrio Urbano” is walk the over pass of “ Cavalcavia Eugenio Bussa” from Metro street level to the other side of train tracks. If going through inside “Porta Garibaldi” train station, must navigate all the way to platform #20, then walk all the way on the platform towards the train exit direction. Eventually an Exit though upstairs steps will be on the right hand side. The Viator “meeting point” instructions are clear but walk though it can be challenging.

Beautiful way to see...

Victoria_M, Jun 2026
Beautiful way to see Milan! Scheduling wise, the tour is closer to 4 hours - not a problem for us since we had no plans afterwards, just something to keep in mind when planning. We loved it and highly recommend!

So much Fun

Roberta_C, Jun 2026
Great bike ride, tour and knowledge sharing. The best thing was that I was late because I got lost. They still got me a bike and rode with me until we caught up to the tour. Exceptional customer service.

City bike ride

Suzi_H, Jun 2026
Very pleasant. Relaxed ride mostly on pedestrian paths away from traffic with a lot of stops and Interesting information.

Beautiful biking day!

Deborah_L, May 2026
Excellent bike tour away from the big city. Nice to see different areas and interesting sites. Jon was a great tour guide and thoroughly enjoyed the riding. Nice bikes too.

An absolute highlight on wheels

Georgie_V, May 2026
Such a fabulous three hour tour with the lovely Paulina. She had a wealth of knowledge that made our experience so much richer. We probably would not have touched on so many wonderful sights should we have tried to go it alone. The company helped procure me an electric bike for a little extra cost, as I was recovering from an injury. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. 10/10

Kath_M, May 2026
This is a must do in Milan. Great way to see the sights from the street that is faster than walking covering 12 plus km in 3 hours and great to get some good local advice on where to eat and where to return to explore more. Caroline was a great guide very knowledgeable and lovely. Highly recommend!!

Book it - you won’t be disappointed!

Saffron_B, May 2026
Perfect pace (not fast!), all flat terrain and went to areas we would never have found/ been able to get to by any other means by bike. Perfect for a short break to the city! Stopped regularly to keep group together and to learn about where we were. 15 minute break half way round was useful for the bathrooms and a quick espresso! Lovely guide and interesting information (not all dates and historic facts which I prefer!) Would def recommend and will look into doing the same thing in other cities!

Pretty Milan tour

Narelle_H, May 2026
Great views of the city. A very easy ride around the surrounding area of Milan with good explanation of structures and buildings.

Off the beaten track

karin_c, May 2026
History and information about these areas. We would never have seen without this tour. A big city with much to offer

Excellent bike tour of Milan

Anonymous, May 2026
Well organized guided tour, great way to discover Milan’s hidden gems. Thoroughly enjoyed the bike tour with our excellent guide, Carolina who shared her insights about the history of Milan. Highly recommended 😊

Great trip!

Debbie, Apr 2026
What a great way to get to know Milan! I highly recommend this over hop-on hop-off types of tours. Our guide (Jan) was excellent and the tour was well-paced. The guide was careful to keep the group together. The route was flat and easy with time to stop, learn, and take photos. They took time to make sure each Nike fit correctly before we headed out on bikes lanes and bike paths. Great way to avoid traffic and see the city!

Amazing Milan Experience!

Paul_R, Apr 2026
Fantastic experience. Very informative. Caroline was an extremely knowledgeable guide. The bicycles were comfortable and enjoyable to ride. Bravo!!

10/10 highly recommend for anyone visiting

Andrea_M, Mar 2026
Such an amazing experience getting to bike through the city. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to explore Milan!

Wonderful time!

Stephen_F, Mar 2026
Wonderful time! Highly recommend going and not a challenging bike ride. You see many areas of Milan you wouldn’t normally go to.

A Fun and Insightful Tour

Michael_O, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Paulina was great, with loads of knowledge and she made the history come alive. The stops were fab and the pace was perfect for a group that varied in skill age and interests. Would 100% recommend for all.

Excellent tourist biking experience

Aga_L, Jan 2026
Our guide Polina was very friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us true hidden gems - places we would never know in Milan. The bikes were in good condition, running very smoothly. The pace of the trip was rather relaxed and we rode on bike paths which made it easy to follow Polina. Each of us got a bottle of water and me even an extra fleece jacket to make sure i keep warm :) which was super thoughtful. You are also lent out helmets if you need them. Overall, the experience is definitely worth the money and highly recommended..

Superb BikeTour!!!
