5 Star Umbria - Gastronomy Bike Tour Tour Reviews — 1 to 6 of 6

The riding was fairly easy except for the last part of the day when we had to ride up some steep hills. We definitely appreciated the hotels that had a swimming pool. The food experiences were amazing--fun and tasty! We were not aware we would have a picnic after the wine tasting so that was a necessary surprise.

I think we might have paid for an upgraded room (junior suite?) as that was all that was available. It was more of a triple with a very tiny single bed. If that was in Torgiano, then that was not worth it. That room was the something found more in a two star hotel. Not well decorated, no view or patio.

A viagem foi muito agradável e bem organizada. Adoramos o roteiro e também todas as degustações. Tudo planejado e bem pensado para uma experiência perfeita na Umbria.
Sugiro repensaram dois hotéis.
Primeiro em Montefalco porque o quarto era muito pequeno para 3 pessoas, apesar da excelente localização.
Segundo em Assis, a distancia do hotel da cidade não é agradável visto que é necessária uma caminhada pela estrada.
Adoramos e faremos outros roteiros!

Umbria is really a nice region to visit! With delicious food, wine and olive oil! The bike route is not difficult! Highlights for the cities of Spello and Assissi!

Trip from Spoleto to San Luca was great overall, enjoyed the scenery. Visiting Montefalco was awesome. Arriving in Santa Barbara hotel with a pool waiting for us was a great surprise at the end of the day.
Tip: gpx tracks were excellent in use. I brought a box with me from home attached to a bike for the phone to follow tracks during riding. The problem was seeing track in a sunny day. I had to stop once in a while where shade was available in order to stay on the right road.
I do not know how to improve this challenge.

Every minute of the trip was amazing.

This trip was a last minute decision. We chose an unguided trip because my wife wanted to maximize her opportunity to speak Italian and we felt comfortable since we have taken an unguided one with Tripsite before. The best part is hard to select- the dinner below Assissi that we learned to cook with the chef, Rosita, in the hotel, the couple sitting next to us at a table in Spello-the woman jumping up every few minutes to hug and kiss her boyfriend while we were eating a fantastic dinner, the sounds of Mozart's Requiem floating out of a small auditorium, sung by 15 young people while we were eating at a fantastic Pizza place in Torgiano. What else? Well, of course the local food, the local wine, the towns in the valley and on top of the hills and the incessantly changing views. We both felt it was a special vacation and we were totally relaxed. Do I have any suggestions? Not really, we are still fighting the bends raising our heads above the memories to our life back here. We'll be back.
