Bike and E-Bike Tours
Seeing a city or a wine region from a saddle covers three or four times the ground of a walking tour without the detachment of a bus. The companies here run everything from two-hour city loops with rental bikes to week-long guided cycling holidays with a support van carrying the luggage. Electric bikes have opened hilly places like Lisbon and Tuscany to riders who would never have tried them. Each listing says what bikes are used, whether e-bikes cost extra, how much traffic the route involves, the pace of the group, and whether helmets and child seats are provided.
