I’ll start by saying we were worried about biking through town & repeating what we saw on the walking tour - but there was no need for concern! Oscar our guide, who grew up in Cortona, took us on a route that avoided traffic and pedestrian crowds. Some of the highlights included cycling through Parterre Gardens, visiting the Basilica of Santa Margherita, Fortess of Girifalco and Le Celle Franciscan Hermitage, and passing by the real villa which was the basis for “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Oscar readily shared his knowledge of the area, which only enhanced the experience. Our tour ended with a fabulous lunch at Torino’s. Overall, this was one of our best experiences in Italy.

We had a group of 9 with Osker in the lead. Osker (Luca and Marco) took on us on a fantastic tour of Cortona. The pace was excellent, the descriptions and background by Oskar of our stops were so informative and experiences were excellent. The meal and drink afterwards was top notch. Overall this was one of the highlights of our 5 week journey through Italy. Very memorable, educational and above all very fun. If you get the opportunity to take the tour….. do it!

With innate kindness, friendliness and great cultural baggage, Oskar showed us Cortona as we had never seen it. Breathtaking landscapes, incredible views and the soul of Tuscany that you breathe with every e-bike ride (really comfortable, sparkling and easy to ride). I highly recommend a tour with Vertigo Experiences, an experience that remains in the heart.
