What to expect
You'll cover Perugia's compact historic centre at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently to absorb architecture and eat. The electric assist handles the notorious gradients—no prior cycling fitness needed. Expect narrow passages, uneven surfaces and the odd flight of stairs you'll walk alongside the bike. Your guide points out period details: fortifications, guild halls, religious art. The chocolate and wine tastings are genuinely generous, not rushed add-ons. Total time on the saddle is maybe 45 minutes; the rest is standing, sipping and looking up.
