It was such an amazing journey through the countryside of Ostuni. We had the pleasure of having Rocco leading us on this guided e-bike tour along with some walking. We learned a lot about the masseria’s and got the opportunity to stop at one for the tasting of cappicolo, cheese, wine, olive oil, and limoncello. It was fantastic, Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a little outdoorsy tour off the beaten path
Overall great experience. Participants should know there is biking and hiking which is rough terrain at times.
This is a wonderful experience! Rocco, the guide, is fantastic, and he did a great job. We went with my wife in winter/spring, and although the weather was not warm, we had a great time. The experience is not just a bike ride, but also includes a short hike. The price did not include what we drank and ate at the olive farm, nor the bike rental. The total amount (including all) was less than 100 E, which is logical for the type of journey. Also, the bikes were great, very modern and powerful, making it easy to ride. We recommend this tour!
I’m so glad I signed up for this experience! Rocco was incredibly friendly and showed a lot of patience, especially with those of us who were a bit rusty on our cycling skills. His knowledge and guidance made the whole ride feel safe, enjoyable, and fun. Highly recommend
Tour carried out in a beautiful Apulian setting, with Rocco leading the group, we spent a wonderful day, exploring new areas and learning local curiosities - - Highly recommended!!!
This tour was the highlight of our holiday in Puglia. Rocco, our guide was amazing. He has such an in depth knowledge of the geography and the history of the area. We learned so much about olive oil production and the tasting was fantastic. Thank you
Rocco Great Guide. We really got more insight into how, what and why about Puglia. So we chose to do another tour in Cisternino with the same Guide the day after.
Rocco is a nice Guide and talks with great dedication. It is mostly walking and a bit of cycling. Some pricey tav of the offer. Had hoped to see more of Ostuni and surroundings.
Driving past Italy's beautiful olive groves can't compare to the joy and wonder of actually riding a bike through them! The e-bikes made the ride easy and it was mostly on country lanes that felt safe. We stopped frequently to take photos and learn interesting facts about the trees and plants around us. At some point, we parked our bikes and hiked to a farm where we sampled some of their delicious products. Then we rode back to our starting point in Ostuni and had a little tour of the town. It was so much fun cycling through the beautiful terrain and town, but the genuine warmth and kindness of our guide, Rocco, and the other people we met were what made the tour extra special. For two weeks, my husband and I traveled around Italy having a variety of amazing experiences, but this e-bike tour through the olive trees of Ostuni was my favorite activity by far. Thank you Tours Puglia!
We enjoyed a wonderful e-bike tour with Rocco. He was superb, patient and so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Ostuni from a different perspective. The olive groves were great! Very educational adventure lead by Rocco.
