We really enjoyed our bike tour with Marco through the Salento countryside! The e-bikes were top-notch and very comfortable. We got to experience some very unique sites and meet some locals with amazing stories to tell. Highly recommend signing up for this e-bike tour!

5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Bad signage for the path to the upper plaza. Careful coming back. Pay attention to the path turnoff or you will end up on the road with no shoulders until you get to a path back down where it is safer.
