Starting out from Montalbano we’ll reach the olive grove plain and the ancient Traiana road that in the past connected Rome to Brindisi and today links Fasano and Ostuni with a paved cycling path, with hardly any traffic, full of spots of interest that describe what rural life used to be like.
During the tour we explain the history of the olive oil, from cultivation to harvest of olives describing the different production methods depending from on its final use: from the lamp oil to the high quality extra virgin we’ll tell you about the history and the passion developed over the centuries, always in tight connection with the local community.
On the trail we will visit an hypogeum oil mill with old millstone and presses, a fortified masseria farmhouse, a modern mill and a centenary olive field. Is possible to arrange an extra virgin olive oil tastings.

Daniele was an amazing tour guide as he got us onto bicycles and took us on a lovely tour of the region. So much history, so much beauty - it was breathtaking to take in. We stopped along the way at different places and got to taste the local delicatessen. I highly recommend Madera Bike Tour as a beautiful way to see Puglia.Luckily the rain stopped just as we started our tour. Beautiful countryside, safe, flat cycling. Stopping frequently to hear Daniele's thorough knowledge of the local area and to take some wonderful photos. Stopping to pick wild flowers, eat fresh peas, mulberries, rocket. Highly recommended tour.

We had a fantastic tour with Daniele during our holiday to Puglia. He had all the right kit for our various children - helmets, child seat for our 2yo and a bike tail for our 4yo to sit on. The kids loved it! He made it so easy to book and made good recommendations based our our children’s ages. We did a half day tour through the olive trees, just stunning. It was a great distance- plenty of opportunity to stop along the way to see local landmarks, but we felt like we’d covered a decent amount of ground still. I particularly enjoyed his knowledge of local herbs and fruit, he took time time to point out things like carabs, wild asparagus, thyme etc. Thank you Daniele!
