The heart of the Cinque Terre: ebike tour to Vernazza and the National Park
Overview
This is the only ebike tour in which you can see the Cinque Terre in a bunch of hours. The ebikes allow you to enjoy the area in a different, eco-friendly and innovative way, and the electric motor will save your legs for other activities the rest of the day!
We will visit Vernazza, then in a bunch of minutes we will be on the mountainside admiring the sea and the villages from above. Passing through the fields and the woods will permit you to fully understand the history of the region, which was originally dedicated to agriculture rather than fishing.
On the hills we will visit two ancient sacred sanctuaries: Reggio and Soviore. They are imbued with history, and the view from there is just breathtaking !
This is an easy tour, enjoyable for families too: we don't ride fast, everyone can take his/her time, and the road is paved (no dirty roads). Children taller that 1.30 meters are also welcome (if they know how to ride a bike)

I will have dreams about this experience for years to come. I was nervous about the difficulty level, but did fine. My husband and I are 68 year old casual bike riders from the Midwest USA. We’ve ridden ebikes twice before on mostly flat terrain. Matteo, our guide, adjusted to our pace and was patient. He spoke our language well and was informative and personable. This was not “high season” either, so the traffic wasn’t bad. The rides up the mountains was not too strenuous, and the rides down were like flying! The views were breathtaking and you see details that you might miss otherwise. Go for it! You won’t be sorry!
