Great bike tour in Piemonte
Luke K. – May 2022
“We booked the Barolo wine tour with Meet Piemonte and had a blast. We met two other couples on tour who became good friends so we hanged out together every night. Our guide Lorenzo was very funny, awesome scenery, the hotel was rustic but just what we needed, we didn’t spend much time in the room anyway. Thumbs up!
Biking trip
Karl B. – May 2022
“I found this tour to be a good compromise for bikers like me who are not super fit but they still want to enjoy hilly roads. The electric bikes are a great plus and so was the guide Lorenzo always helpful and great story teller. Hotel in Barolo had perfect location and great views from our room.”
