FAQs

How does a guided bike tour with Girolibero work?

Our promise to those who travel with us is this: cycle easy, travel light. Choose your favourite cycling holiday and leave the rest to us: itinerary, handpicked accommodation, luggage transfer between stops and multilingual dedicated assistance. If you choose a self-guided cycling tour, you follow the stages at your own pace with route maps; if you join a group tour, just follow your guide.

What are the best destinations for a guided bike tour?

It really depends on what you’re looking for. If you prefer flat, easy cycling on well-marked paths, the Netherlands and the Moselle cycle path are classic choices that never disappoint. Another unique destination is the bike and barge in Italy between Mantua and Venice or Venice to Grado.

All our destinations are handpicked for their routes, and most are suitable for cyclists of all levels.

Do I need to be an experienced cyclist?

Not at all. Our tours are designed for people who enjoy cycling, not competitive athletes. We have five difficulty levels, ranging from flat and easy routes (around 30 km/day) to more demanding rides with climbs. If hills worry you, renting an e-bike solves the problem. You can check the difficulty level on each trip page.

Do you provide e-bikes?

Yes, on almost all our trips you can rent an electric bike — a great help when the stages are hilly or when the heat kicks in. If you want to find out more before deciding, our blog has everything you need to know about e-bikes: how they work and why you might want to choose one.

What is included in the price?

Every bike tour includes: handpicked accommodation with breakfast, luggage transfer, route materials and multilingual assistance. Depending on the trip, you can add extra services to your quote, such as bike rental, meals, extra nights and transfers.

Do I need travel insurance?

We strongly recommend it. A good policy should cover medical expenses, trip cancellation and cycling-specific incidents. Travel insurance is not included in the tour price and must be arranged independently before your trip.

How can I book?

It is simple: select your trip, get your quote, and book directly online by filling in the required details and paying a deposit by credit card or bank transfer. Within 3 working days we will send you a confirmation email or an update. If you have any questions or doubts, get in touch. We are available by phone or email.
