Bicycle trip in the Apulia region of Italy
My friend and I decided to take a bicycle trip in the Apulia region of Italy. Ferula Viaggi rented us the bikes for the entire stay, booked the hotels, transported our luggage, and provided the routes. We traveled through beautiful regions and visited very lovely cities, two of which are part of the UNESCO heritage. The hotels were well located, and The chosen cities are so beautiful and charming. We loved our trip and are looking forward to the next one. It is difficult not to fall in love with Italy. The sea, the sun, the food, the beauty of the cities, the people. Wow. I recommend everyone to try this experience if you love cycling. It was a truly beautiful experience and I am looking forward to the next bike trip!

Reliable rental company
I highly recommend them to rent bikes. We had rented 2 bikes for 10 days to make a tour of Puglia. Everything was ready, as agreed with Michelle. We had 1 problem on the way and they had solved that immediately super well.
Response from the operator: Hartelijk bedankt! Het is altijd een plezier om mensen te helpen die ons werk waarderen. Onze Nederlandse vrienden behoren tot onze beste klanten! We hopen jullie snel weer te zien in Basilicata en Puglia.

7 days cycling Puglia
We did the Bike Basilicata 7 day tour of Puglia. We hired e-bikes, and were provided with a route on RideWithGPS, hotel bookings with bed and breakfast, and transport of our luggage between hotels. The ride was excellent, through lovely countryside and some lovely quiet roads. We had some issues with one of the e-bikes and was able to speak with people to try and solve the problems. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

Quality bikes, great shop
Great shop and quality carbon roadbikes, enjoyed over 100Km cycle to Alberobello with no issues. Michele was very helpful
Response from the operator: Thanks for the nice review. We are happy that the experience and professionalism of our bike shop operators is always appreciated, and that our bikes perform perfectly. We are waiting for you for another bike tour in Puglia and Basilicata

Coast to coast Puglia on e-bikes.
We did an 8 day self-guided e-bike tour of Puglia. It was all expertly arranged with Michele and worked extremely well. The bikes were excellent and well-equipped. Our luggage was always waiting for us when we arrived at the next town. We chose 4 and 5 star accommodations which were very welcome at the end of 60-80 kms of cycling in weather that was hotter than we had expected for September. The staff at each hotel/resort were welcoming and engaging. The breakfasts were large and delicious. We rode 500 kms in total and many of the routes along secondary roads and even bike paths were ideal. The app ( Ride with GPS) that Michele had programmed for us worked very well although it took us to some “scenic” sites that were very rocky and bumpy paths which were completely unnecessary. These should be eliminated from the routes. It was also challenging to get in and out of the towns ( due to small winding streets) so having exact directions to each hotel would be better. We also were not always confident the app would re-route us if we went off track- more explicit information about the program would be helpful and eliminate worry and/or back tracking. We started our time in Matera with a guided tour of the Sassi with Sandra, cooking class in a beautiful palazzo, hiking with an excellent geologist in the small Dolomites and a short cycle to a resort outside of town for lunch and pool time. We did these for several days before the cycling days began. This was all suggested by and arranged by Michele and his team- and each experience was excellent. In summary, we had a very positive cycling trip through beautiful Puglia-coast to coast-and give top marks to Michele and his team.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bike rental: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Bike rental cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Matera usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bike rental take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Matera is not rushed.
Is Bike rental worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bike rental?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bike rental suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bike rental?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Matera can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Matera and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bike rental start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Matera within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Matera?
+
On Outty we rank every Matera experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour, Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Matera's Sassi Walking Tour - PREMIUM GUIDES. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Matera?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Matera?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bike rental?
+
Included: On-board computer and helmet; Tool kit; Road book of your choiche; and RC insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Bike rental offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bike rental?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Bike rental wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Bike rental if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Bike rental?
+
Across 8 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
