HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

Amazing guides, beautiful routes and incredible food and wine! Our guide Mattia was very knowledgeable and crafted a personalized tour for our group that was well aligned to skill level, building in lots of time to enjoy wonderful dinners and wine. We will definitely go on another trip with VAGO.

Mattia and his crew go out of their way to ensure everyone in the group has an amazing experience. They earn ten gold stars! Skip the big tour companies. Bike Local.

RANDY C. • USA • VENETO

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

Mattia put together a 5 star custom cycling trip for 15 of us in the Alps and the Dolomites. It was all top notch. He’s from Bormio, and the local knowledge helps a LOT. We’ve been on a lot of trips with bigger companies, and this was right there with the additional personal touch. Highly recommend.

YES!! Fantastic biking experience in Abruzzo with Mattia and his wonderful team at Vago! If you are looking for an amazing cycling experience in Italy then cycling with the Vago family is your only option. I can’t wait for my next adventure with them!

LARRY M. • USA • ABRUZZO

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

We’ve used a number of U.S. and UK-based companies and I recommend Vago above all of them. Their combination of first-class service and local knowledge can’t be found elsewhere. Thanks very much to Vago for an amazing week in the Alps and Dolomites.

KEVIN E. • USA • ALPS & DOLOMITES

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

We were welcomed like family by the local providers and went places and met people we would never have been able to without a guide. I have not had a better tourism experience. There is a reason every review is 5 stars. Mattia and Marta and Vago cycling are tourism superstars.

ADAM W. • AUS • PARMA & CINQUE TERRE

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

We have ridden in many places in the US and Europe and Vago is the best tour company we’ve ever had. I don’t like calling them a company, because it was more like riding with friends.

GARY C. • USA • ALPS & DOLOMITES

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

Mattia really cares that you have a great time. He is personally vested in your happiness. and really enjoys sharing his beautiful country with you and wants you to see everything there is to be seen. I have done 2 trips with Vago and it only got better the second time around.

PASQUALE B. • USA • ABRUZZO

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

One of the biggest endorsements I can give is that my wife, who’s not an avid cyclist, loved the e-bike rides, thought it was a great experience and would do another cycling tour. Might be tough to find another tour that will be so tailored to our needs.Thanks again for a great cycling adventure!

RON S. • USA • PARMA & CINQUE TERRE

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

Unforgettable trip! Private group of 6 e-bikers. The rides were tailored to our group and very different every day. I’m a big planner, but there is no way I could have planned this trip myself. We cannot wait to start planning next year’s trip with Vago! Big thank you to Mattia and Michele!

ALLISON A. • USA • ALPS & DOLOMITES

HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

The guys were easy going yet incredibly organised and efficient. We were never rushed yet I did more in a week with the crew (cycling/eating/ travelling/ relaxing) than I normally do in a year! Can’t wait to do it again!!!
