A great experience! You can see so much in 3hrs on an E-bike. Franco met us with the bikes already loaded near our apartment.
We firstly headed up to the old town stopping at the key sites and weaving around back lanes. We then headed up to the castle along a fantastic quiet road offering stunning views over Bergamo.
It was then time to headed downhill using another great trail with further views over Bergamo, taking us through the green forested area along a river, past horses, fields of corn - beautiful. Our destination the monastery- be aware on the 10am tour this is all closed, just looking from outside.
Then it was a flat route back into town through residential areas back to the bike van.
A great tour that we all enjoyed. First time on an E-bike, you can work as little or as much as you like, it’s really good fun.
Only downside was no stop for drink or ice cream etc not sure if that was a time issue.
Franco is great, clearly loves the area and knows it well however his English is minimal so be prepared to engage and translate between you - we had no problems, fantastic friendly guy!
