Frequently asked questions

Before you sign up.

We rate each tour on a five-bar scale, making it easier to find the right experience for you. Send us your cycling background or tell us a bit about your experience, and we’ll recommend the most suitable route. We have options for all levels, from easy, relaxed rides to demanding full-day stages.

Of course. You can bring your own bike and we’ll be happy to receive it. We have a space equipped for assembly, cleaning, and minor adjustments, so it’s ready to ride from day one. If you prefer to travel without a bike, we also offer high-quality bikes for rent.

Small groups, between 3 and 7 cyclists, with guide and mechanic. Small enough to move quietly across the island.

Weather is part of the adventure, but we are prepared for it. We monitor weather conditions before and during each tour and, if necessary, adjust the route, change the departure time, or reschedule the experience for another day. Our goal is to ensure that every ride is safe and enjoyable, without compromising the quality of the experience.
