OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Embark on a cycling tour that takes you deep into the heart of Puglia, where every pedal brings a discovery, from the sun-kissed coastlines to the ancient heartlands of Italy’s southeastern jewel. This meticulously crafted journey weaves through the fabric of Puglia, blending breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and the vibrant culture of this unique region.
Starting in the quaint town of Giovinazzo, your adventure quickly unfolds as you cycle to the iconic Castel del Monte, experiencing the tranquil beauty of Puglia’s countryside. The route guides you through Matera, where history is carved into every stone of the Sassi, and onwards through the vineyard-laden paths of Crispiano and Manduria, offering a taste of the region’s celebrated wines.
As you pedal towards the Ionian Sea, the historic charm of Gallipoli captivates your senses, promising memorable moments by the seaside. The journey continues along the Adriatic, where Otranto’s easternmost beauty enchants, before granting a day of leisure to explore its wonders.
The final legs of the tour are no less spectacular, with Lecce’s baroque elegance, Ostuni’s radiant white cityscape, and the enchanting trulli of Alberobello marking the culmination of a journey not just through Puglia, but through time itself.
Returning to Bari, the circuit completes, leaving you with a tapestry of memories, from the sunlit coastlines to the shadowed ancient dwellings, all bound by the warmth of Puglian hospitality. This isn’t just a cycling tour; it’s an immersion into the soul of Puglia, promising an experience that lingers long after the wheels stop turning.

Road Bikes
Best for: Paved routes, longer distances, and climbs
Our road bikes are lightweight, fast, and built for endurance. They typically feature carbon or high-quality aluminium frames, smooth gearing, and reliable components—often Shimano 105 or similar. Well-suited for long days in the saddle, they’re perfect for climbs, steady cruising, and covering serious distance on tarmac.

Trekking Bikes
Best for: Multi-day touring, relaxed pace, and varied surfaces
These high-quality trekking bikes are built for comfort over multiple days. They feature a relaxed riding position, smooth-rolling wheels, and often come with practical additions like an adjustable stem, rear rack, or mudguards. They're not necessarily built for speed, but more for enjoying the ride.

Touring E-Bikes
Best for: Comfortable trekking, touring, longer distances, and hilly routes
These pedal-assist electric bikes are designed to make riding easier and more enjoyable—especially on longer or hillier routes. They come with powerful mid-drive motors, long-lasting batteries, and comfortable riding geometry for smooth support across varied terrain. With intuitive controls and quality components, they’re a great choice for riders who want extra assistance without giving up the feel of a real ride.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!


Great trip: excellent customer service, great route, excellent hotel stays during the tour. The bike rental company that they use is the best I've ever experienced in Europe. I am even planning to buy the same bike for myself at home that I had on the trip! We had this service also book our stay for after the tour, and that is the only thing I would do differently next time, since the hotel for the several days after the tour was not very good, had mediocre service and not a good location. But for the tour, I would definitely recommend DenmarkBikeTours.
Exploring Tuscany on a self-guided cycling holiday was pure joy. The carefully curated routes took me through vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque towns like Siena and Pienza. I loved being able to stop whenever I wanted to soak in the views or enjoy a cappuccino in a quaint café. The GPS and route notes were spot-on, and the logistics, from luggage transfers to charming accommodations, were seamless. Tuscany’s beauty is best experienced on two wheels, and the freedom to set my own pace made it unforgettable.
