Lake Como, nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, is a breathtaking destination renowned for its stunning natural beauty and charming lakeside towns. Exploring this picturesque region by bicycle offers an unparalleled experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its scenic landscapes and vibrant culture. A guided bike tour, led by certified experts, ensures a safe and enriching journey through the area’s most enchanting spots. Cycling along the lake's shores, you will pass through quaint villages, admire elegant villas, and enjoy panoramic views that are truly spectacular. The combination of fresh air, physical activity, and the serene environment makes discovering Lake Como by bike an unforgettable adventure.
Moltrasio is a beautiful village overlooking the western shore of Lake Como. This place has a thousand-year history, in fact the first document certifying the birth of the Municipality dates back to 1058. From the village you have an incredible view of the lake. We'll enjoy the view from the village and then move to the Waterfall. We'll pause to marvel at the breathtaking Moltrasio waterfalls, a hidden gem with stunning panoramic views. This serene spot offers a perfect moment to relax and take in the natural beauty.
One of the highlights of the tour is a stop in the charming village of Laglio, where we will pause to admire the renowned Villa Oleandra, the summer residence of George Clooney. This iconic landmark, nestled on the lake's edge, offers a perfect photo opportunity, allowing you to capture a memorable moment of your adventure.
We'll enjoy a delightful light lunch featuring local products at a charming lakeside restaurant in Moltrasio. If the weather is nice, we'll dine outdoors, allowing us to fully appreciate the serene beauty of Lake Como while savoring delicious regional specialties. This relaxing meal with a stunning lakeside view will be a memorable highlight of our tour.
Piazza Risorgimento, the heart of Cernobbio's historic center, offers enchanting views of Lake Como. Known as "La Riva," this popular lakeside area features bars, restaurants, and historic hotels with stunning lake views. Notable monuments include the War Memorial by Angelo Galli and a monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi. We'll stop in Cernobbio to take all the pictures you want and to relax a bit, for sure.

Had an amazing time, well worth it. Great experience, amazing guide, so beautiful and fun.
Our guide Jack was super nice and very passionate about his cycling and ensuring our safety on the busy roads. He took us to all the locations listed on the itinerary, giving us time to take photos and ask questions.
The planning and execution of this bike company through Viator was excellent.. They communicated very well and we knew how to be prepared. The day before our tour, Ben, our guide texted and made sure to answer any questions. He was excellent! We enjoyed our Lake Como Coastal Bike Ride. The stop for lunch was delicious! Thank you for a great day Ben!
This company went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day . Jack was our tour guide and he was amazing. We are not bikers and he was so good working with us. We met his family (we needed to use the restroom) met his horse because my daughter loves horses. He was the best it was a wonderful day.
Our tour guide was Giacomo and he was wonderful! He told us so much history and local culture and was just a pleasure to get to know. He also brought us on the most interesting byways and hidden paths - have you wondered how people get up to their houses way up on the steep hillsides? On this tour you will find out! But don’t worry, the e-bikes were in great shape and made every terrain doable. Giacomo was very safety conscious and gave excellent directions for what was coming up next. This tour was a top highlight of our stay on Lake Como.
Our guide Ivan was great. Turned up early, took photos of us, quality bikes, lovely lunch spot and shared good local insights, and seemed genuinely happy to be there! Beautiful area. Bike ride was easy and views spectacular.
Excellent experience with our guide Ivan. He was organized and planned a great ride for 4 hours taking us through beautiful villages along the lake climbing up to a waterfall. Stopped for a stop for food. Highly recommend!
Would highly recommend this tour. Ivan (24 yrs), the Guide was excellent, very friendly and approachable. The pre-meet instructions were clear and given two days in advance, mostly via wattsapp. The meet point is easy to find and Ivan had our bikes ready and waiting for us. Note there is NO basket or bag carrier on the bike, so suggest wearing a small back pack or cross body bag during the tour for your personal items. We finished in the same place as we started, and Ivan took care of the bikes for us as we walked back to our hotel. Both my friend and I are in our early 50's and have a good level of fitness. The e-bikes were easy to use, comfortable and in very good condition. Ivan gave a full overview of how they work, and what the tour would entail before we set off. It was just my friend and I and we really valued the 121 experience rather than a large group of mixed abilities and fitness levels etc. We stopped off at several lovely viewing locations and Ivan gave a brief history of each place we stopped at, plenty of time to take lots of photos. There was no pressure to go really fast, the pace was just fine for us. We biked up to a beautiful waterfall and got off bikes to walk right up close to it, stunning. We then biked down, through pretty villages, theres lots to look at en route and there was very little traffic. We stopped at a small cafe and were served traditional Italian style lunch, pizzas, dips, breadsticks, garlic bread and were offered a drink of your choice. I had a Peroni, my friend had a wine, Very nice to sit down and take in the scenery and Ivan was very knowledgeable on the area and its history and was interested in us and was happy to engage in conversation and answer any of our many questions. Ivan took great care of us and had our safety at the forefront of the 3 hour tour. His interest and passion of cycling is clear when you speak with him and he is the ideal type of guide for taking tourists around. Ivan was fluent in English, so communication was not an issue. I would do the tour again, it was a really nice activity to do during our 4 day visit to Como. Hope the review helps.
It was just my husband and me on the tour with our guide Jack. Jack was really great and shared lots of interesting info about the area, as well as recommendations for other places to visit and restaurants in Como. The e-bikes were good and the route was mainly on quiet roads and cycle paths, with only a few sections on busy roads. We enjoyed the tour, and getting off the beaten track a bit, though it is an expensive experience.
Wonderful excursion with a great guide. The hills were manageable thanks to the e-assist bikes. The included lunch was very good and in a nice shaded waterfront area.
Ivan is a great cyclist enthusiast! His combination of technical knowledge paired with strong communication skills and adaptability to tailor plans for his clients to hidden gem's definitely made our scenic coastal bike tour the best tour we’ve taken here! The Hilton Family
Our bike ride around Lake Como was awesome! It was our favorite part of our stay on the lake and in Italy. Jack was an awesome guide - fun, personable, patient, and a strong rider. He took us to the most beautiful places on the ride and made us feel safe the whole way. His love for his home was evident and infectious. We enjoyed good conversation - this will be a day we will always remember. 1000/10 will ride again with Jack when we come back.
Ivan was a fabulous guide and extremely patient as our flight was delayed and we were two hours late for our tour. He was waiting with a smile and gave us a tremendous tour.
We went on a bike tour with in a small group (5 people total). Our guide Ivan was incredible and this was our favorite thing we did in Lake Como! Not only was it an amazing way to see the lake and town, but we were also taken into Switzerland and rode through its vineyards. Ivan was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with recommendations for the rest of our stay. The bikes were easy to use and did not require much stamina throughout the ride. Overall, Ivan exceeded our expectations!! We HIGHLY recommend going on a bike tour with him.
Wow! What a wonderful tour. Ivan was an amazing tour guide and the ride was beautiful. The area is so pretty and would be very difficult to see on foot or by car. The waterfall was so pretty. It rained during our ride but it did not take away from the tour at all. It was actually a memorable part of the trip. Ivan was a great guide and a pleasure to work with. He kept us well informed. He made the ride very enjoyable and had a nice pace. Not too fast or too slow for a couple of older people! The bikes worked great and were fun to ride. If you are in Como you should take this bike trip!
Fun experience with knowledgeable and very kind personable tour guide. Amazing tour with great views of the lake. Don’t need to be a pro cyclist to complete your. Our family had all levels of fitness and all enjoyed the day! Lunch by the lake was tasty and with a beautiful view too
Our guides Stephano and Dante were fantastic! They provided us a wonderful biking experience around majestic Lake Como. The trip was very well organized!
This was an amazing bike tour. We’ve done many tours in different countries- this was the best. Ivan was a wonderful guide and so fun to be with. Loved it!
Our guide-Ivan was very safe, knowledgeable, flexible and made our trip very enjoyable! The ride is easy with the wonderful bikes and the water fall with small hike was an added bonus! The landscape on the bike was breathtaking. We were so glad we did this and highly recommend it!!
Ivan is the ultimate professional, knowledgeable, attentive and fun. Beautiful views and hidden spots only a local would know.
My family and I had a wonderful time biking with Ivan! The electric bikes were easy to use even for the amateur biker. We biked around what seemed like more than half of the lake and even up the mountain for some beautiful viewpoints. Included stop and local restaurant for lunch. You will definitely work hard but it is rewarding. Ivan did a good job keeping us safe and making sure we were okay during the ride! A must do if you like outdoor activities.
I had an amazing time. Ivan was very knowledgeable of the area. I found it interesting to learn about the towns we rode through. The views were amazing I highly recommend this tour
This was one of the best bike tours we have ever taken. Ivan was amazing and showed us so many wonderful sights we would never have found on our own.
Amazing morning of biking with Ivan. He was very experienced and showed us so many wonderful things.
Ivan is an experienced and professional Guide. During the Tour we got to see beautiful waterfalls, ride on a scenic road on the Lake, stop at a beach where some of us even took a bath, and eat local specialties in the shade of a wonderful pergola directly on the Lake. Super recommended, considering also the competitive price compared to other operators in the area.
