ABOUT
PUGLIA BIKE EXPERIENCE
Join us for a journey as we bring you closer to the heart of Salento. Our authentic e-bike and hiking tours showcase the region’s cultural, historical, and culinary treasures. Meticulously designed for travelers who want more than a checklist, our boutique tours are intimate, eco-friendly, and immersive. We offer insider access and local insight to Puglia’s stunning countryside, ancient villages, and timeless traditions.
With over 15 years of experience as a certified bike tour guide, I’m passionate about creating experiences that let you feel the real Salento, its rhythm, its flavors, its soul. I’m Marco, and I created Puglia Bike Experience because I wanted travelers to see Puglia the way locals do: unhurried, genuine, and full of hidden beauty. Even in just one day, you’ll slip into the local way of life — whether you’re sharing stories in the piazza, taking a mid-day dip in the sea, riding past centuries-old olive groves, or tasting wine in a tucked-away vineyard.
Every tour features premium e-bikes (less than a year old) which ensures a smooth and comfortable ride for all ages (13+) and fitness levels. Routes are carefully chosen to highlight the beauty of the land and the subtle details that make the heel of Italy’s boot unforgettable.
Our mission is simple: To offer you a genuine connection with the land, history, and people of Puglia. By the end of your journey with us, you won’t just have visited Salento, you’ll feel as though you’ve truly slowed down and lived it.
Join us for an unforgettable experience that blends active exploration with the pleasure of authentic local life.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Puglia!
ABOUT MARCO, THE FOUNDER
I am Marco, a certified eco-tourism guide and physiotherapist. For the past 16 years, I have been working as a bicycle tour guide. I graduated in Eco-Tourism in Edinburgh, Scotland, and all my tours are designed to be respectful of both the environment and local cultures.
After graduating, I left Edinburgh by bike and cycled from Rome to Kathmandu — an experience that truly sparked my passion for traveling by bicycle.
I am passionate about cycling as a way to experience and learn from different local cultures and traditions. I love everything Italian — from the landscapes, nature, and wine to our rich local cuisine and vast history.
After many years of living in different countries, I returned to Italy to share my knowledge and passion for my hometown with others.
My preferred way to travel is either by bike or on foot. I would be honored to share unique, sustainable, and locally rooted experiences with you, leaving only a minimal footprint behind.
