What to expect
You'll spend the morning cycling on dedicated paths and low-traffic roads, moving through landscape rather than urban sprawl. The e-bikes handle the elevation and distance—no fitness required. Upon arrival, you'll have time to browse the market and assemble lunch before settling into the palace gardens. The afternoon is yours to wander the Hamlet's rustic cottages, stand in the Hall of Mirrors, and explore the fountains at your own pace. Your guide disappears with the bikes while you're inside, returning your logistics to a single train journey back.
