About this tour
Explore Itria Valley's layered past on an electric bike, pedalling through Neolithic dolmens, fortified masserie, and whitewashed trulli villages.

What to expect
You'll start in the saddle of an e-bike suited to the gently rolling terrain of Itria Valley. The route threads between agricultural plots and stone settlements, stopping at key historical landmarks where your guide contextualises what you're seeing—the why and how of these structures. You'll get your hands dirty (or fruity) sampling whatever's in season from nearby trees. The final leg winds toward higher ground as the sun drops, arriving at a terrace where you sit down to proper local food and wine, not token snacks. Expect to chat with other riders and linger over the aperitif as daylight fades.
