A full-day self-guided e-bike tour from Verona that takes you east through quiet countryside to Bardolino on Lake Garda, then back along a comfortable cycle path. You pick up your e-bike at Itinera Bike shop in the city center, follow a mapped route on your phone, and stop for a three-course lunch with wine at a local restaurant partway through. The route is easy and flat, built for riders who want to move at their own pace without a guide talking in your ear.

The Experience
Eight hours sounds like a long day on a bike, but the e-motor does most of the work. You start in Verona's historic center, where the shop staff fit you to the right size e-bike, mount your phone on the handlebar, and load the app with your route. From there you head east on a flat cycling path, leaving the city behind for silent countryside and views toward the Valpolicella wine region and Lessinia mountains. The pace is entirely yours — stop in Bussolengo for photos if you want, or keep rolling.
Bardolino sits on the lake about halfway through, and that's where you stop for lunch. A three-course menu awaits at a local restaurant — caprese salad, tagliatelle with porcini or carbonara, fruit salad with ice cream — plus a glass of wine. Vegetarian options are available if you request them when you book. The lake is right there if you want to swim before eating or after, or you can just sit and watch the water.
The return ride follows the same easy path back to Verona, arriving near Ponte Pietra bridge where you drop off the bike. You carry a rear bag for belongings, a reusable water bottle, and a helmet. The app stays on your phone the whole way, so you never have to guess which turn comes next. Minimum age is 16, and you'll need moderate fitness — the e-motor helps, but you're still pedaling for eight hours.
What’s included
E-bike, helmet, rear bag, reusable water bottle, mobile phone holder, route app, three-course lunch with a glass of wine at a local restaurant in Bardolino.

Is this one for you?This tour is self-guided, so you follow the app on your phone rather than listening to a guide — choose it if you prefer to move at your own pace and set your own stops. The eight-hour duration and moderate fitness requirement mean it suits riders comfortable spending a full day in the saddle, not a short morning ride.
