★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 1 to 7 days (approx.) · from $29Our pick

Venice bike rental with new 21-gear touring bikes, helmet options, e-bikes, and luggage drop-off. Ride the Veneto and beyond.

“Hired an electric bike to go from Toblach to Venice over a week. I got one with a 500W engine and it was fantastic. I learnt how to conserve the power on some of the big climbs and passes, but we did Pass Giau and the only one it almost didn't make it was Monte Grappa (which is an epic climb!!). The shop was great and attached my pedals so I could clip in and then gave me everything I needed for the bike. We returned it back at the end of the week. Thanks guys!”

8.Lido Bike Tour: With a Local on the Island of Cinema

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $203

Bike Lido with a local guide for 4.5 hours. Film-festival spots, Jewish cemetery, dunes, fisherman canals, and lagoon islands.

“We were a group of 6 people, so we booked a private tour of Lido. Excellent communications by email. Responded promptly to all questions. Confirmed trip and meeting point that was easy to find near the water taxi. Nice bike ride. The bike rental prices were very reasonable at 12 EU/pp. I would recommend renting asking for a bike with wider tires for that same route. There was a sandy path we took, but took, but some of us got off our bikes and walked them over these areas. The roads and paths were a little rough in some spots - wider tires would help absorb the bumpiness.”
