About this tour
Pedal through Padua's backstreets and piazzas on this three-hour guided ride that treats the city like a local would. You'll stop at four neighbourhood spots to taste espresso and brioche at dawn, sample regional pastries, grab a tramezzino with Italian soda, and finish with an Aperol Spritz at the drink's birthplace. A small group and a native guide mean you'll absorb the rhythms of daily life rather than just tick off monuments.

- Born-here Aperol Spritz at its original venue
- Backstreet routes unknown to most visitors

What to expect
Your guide meets you for an early start—breakfast stop comes first with espresso or cappuccino and brioche in hand. From there you'll roll through quieter squares and residential lanes, stopping periodically to rest and refuel. Each halt brings a different flavour: local pastries, a quick tramezzino paired with fizzy Italian soda, and finally the signature Aperol Spritz experience. The pace is easy; this is sightseeing by bike rather than a fitness workout. Expect to chat with your guide about where locals actually eat, shop, and spend their days.
Good to know
Bring your own bike or arrange a rental beforehand (we can help source one). The meeting point is accessible by public transport. This suits all fitness levels—it's leisurely, not strenuous. Non-alcoholic alternatives available. Gratuities aren't included.
