- Via Romagneno, 10 - Our day begins in Recco, near Camogli, one of the most picturesque villages on our riviera, which we reach in just a few minutes with our E-bike. We stroll through the Caruggi, the narrow alleyways that define this historic seaside town. We visit the stunning baroque church built on ‘the island’ right on the cliffs overlooking the sea, and the enchanting Castel Dragone. We ride up The Ruta, the scenic road that connects Camogli with the surrounding hills. From the churchyard, we’ll take in breathtaking views of the Paradise Gulf. Our adventure continues as we enter the Park of Portofino and bike up to Portofino Vetta. We pause for a well-deserved lunch at a typical restaurant (lunch not included). After lunch, riding along paths carved into the rocks and completely immersed in nature, we enjoy stunning views of the Ligurian Sea. At the end of the path, we arrive at the elegant resort of Portofino. On the way back, we cycle along the coastal road to Santa Margherita Ligure, where we take the train back to Recco to conclude the tour. If you have booked van support/pick-up and drop-off with us, we will bring you back to your hotel.

Breathtaking views e-bike tour - We absolutely loved our bike adventure through Portofino and surrounding towns. Our guide was Andrea who gave us interesting insights on each of our stops and lots of history about the region. Despite the electric motor the ride is challenging so make sure you are ready to have tired legs (and bottom!) at the end of the day. Our lunch stop in Santa Margherita was DELICIOUS and gave us the perfect burst of energy to finish the day. Thanks to Andrea for such a wonderful day!!

Beautiful ride in Italian Riviera - This was a wonderful tour. We visited Santa Margherita Ligure on a cruise. Our guide Marco met us at the port with bikes. The bikes were great. Very long steep hills were not difficult at all. Marco was an excellent guide. We rode to Santa Margherita, Camogli, Recco, and Portofino. He took photos and video during the ride and texted them to me later. Great experience!

Great bike ride to Portofino - Francesco was a fabulous guide. Extremely knowledgeable and affable. The ride was great, but VERY challenging. Even with the EBike. Highly recommend if you want a truly challenging experience. Small note: our tickets said included bottle of water...that was not the case. Be sure to bring a backpack and water. Or buy water in the square. No bottle holder on bike.

Awesome Adventure! - Francesco was great! The trip was incredible and had amazing views. Very strenuous at times, so I would recommend a base line of fitness to complete the entire trek. Regardless, the E-bikes were a life saver.
Our guide was informative and got along great with our family.
Highly recommend!

Spectacular time along the Italian coast, - First, this tour starts about 45 min to the south of Genoa - the company set up a private transfer right from the cruise port. Our guide for the day was Paul - I can’t say enough about his friendly manner and knowledge of the area. This tour may be the best we have ever done - there were five of us, ages 57 to 24. The e-bikes provided were top notch and the views amazing. This is light to moderate exercise along the spectacular Italian coast. Worth every penny!

A workout for the mind, body, and soul! - Francesco was our Italian pirate guide..with a leather hat and feathers for flair. A local from nearby…with a great knowledge that ranged from history to current trends. He took us thru historic villages, port towns, nature preserves…and stunning views of the Mediterranean. We stopped off at a local focaccia shop and grabbed a snack for later. This is definitely a solid workout over several hours of climbing and rewarding downhills. Not inexpensive…but not a single regret.

Great Time and Great Host! - Enjoyed all the small villages and the mountain rides. It's a must for everyone! We visited a small place in the mountains where they served cold beer and our host surprised us with Focaccia for a snack!

Amazing experience! - Our guide was absolutely amazing! He was kind and very funny. We had a few issues with scheduling and weather and he was very accomodating and understanding. He made the trip personal and based it around what we wanted to do and see. He stopped and amazing places and gave us a lot of information on the history of each place as well. This was definitely an experience we will never forget!

A Perfect Day - My wife and I spent 6 hours with Francesco and it was amazing! Riding through the mountains, Portofino national park, various towns (such as Santo Rocco, Santa Margherita), as well as various stops to walk, have a picnic lunch (with a variety of focaccia), and Italian ice cream throughout the way. One of the highlights was a stroll through Portofino. We did all of this while learning about the region’s history and culture from Francesco, as well as getting some exercise. Francesco even brought us to a supermarket and introduced us to various Ligurian dishes (and gave us instructions on how to make them). We bought all of the ingredients for these dishes with him and they were amazing. We highly recommend this excursion. It was a highlight of our trip and a great way to see this part of the country.

Fun Ride - Marco was a very good guide and meeting up with him was very easy. This was a wonderful way to see Portofino and the other villages and avoid the crowds or having to drive. The e bikes made the rides stress free as it is about 80% uphill. My only suggestion would be to give a more detailed description of the ride in certain places. Riding the 1000 year old Roman road was fun but also challenging. It is very a very steep downhill and rocky the whole way. All in all, a great ride. I would definitely recommend it.
