E-bike tour in Ostuni, the olive trees and the rock village
Description
Discover Ostuni and its countryside on an easy, engaging guided e-bike tour through nature, local traditions, and rural landscapes. You’ll ride across a plain of monumental olive trees—among the oldest in Puglia—while hearing curiosities about olive cultivation and how this land has shaped everyday life for centuries. The tour includes guidance and full assistance: a local escort manages the route, stops, and support along the ride, keeping the pace relaxed and enjoyable. Join with your own e-bike at no extra cost, or use an e-bike provided on site with payment made locally (see Inclusions/Exclusions). Along the way, you’ll visit an ancient rock village, exploring cave-like settlements, and enjoy a short walk to fully appreciate the site and the views. On the way back, you’ll enter Ostuni and ride through the white streets and town walls of the “White City.” The tour includes a 300 m section of uneven road.

Rocco is a super guide and after a tour of the town we headed off to the countryside. Learnt a lot about the olives groves and also visited caves. Highly recommend and the light was wonderful on the way back. Great bikes too.
Thank you Louise! Have a great day!
Our experience started off a little rocky due to another tour ahead of ours but Rocco adjusted ours to make sure we were still able to get to see the ancient olive trees and through in a olive oil tasting
What a surprise this bike tour was! We just wanted to add a bit of activity to the holiday, but it ended up being our favourite day! Firstly, a huge thank you to Rocco - from the messages about our booking, to picking us up in Ostuni, and adapting our tour to include olive oil tasting. His enthusiasm for the region, its people and the natural environment was infectious, and explained in impeccable English. We loved learning the history of the olive groves and stopping to try a few fresh figs and feed the beautiful Pugliese horses. A special thanks to Rocco’s uncle who stopped by with fresh focaccia - what a treat! The bikes themselves were so easy to use, and perfect for the off-road gravel paths. We feel like we got to experience the authentic Puglia countryside, a world away from the tourist towns. An absolutely fantastic tour and excellent value for money, I couldn’t recommend this enough - a must if you’re in Puglia! I’m only sorry we didn’t stay longer to join some other tours. Hopefully we’ll be back soon :)
Amazing tour with Rocco! 12 miles+ ride through olive orchards and town. Full of information and details. We ventured off and walked through orchards to ancient caves and learned about the land. Rocco full of information and details. Ended ride through old town and along walls. Perfect tour! Highly recommend.
Thank you Rocco for this superb walk in the olive trees and the discovery of Ostuni and these delicious pasticceria. Thank you also for your detailed and fascinating explanations which make us want to discover your other walks See you soon Delphine and Jérôme
