Hike, E-Bike and Wine in Italy's Prosecco Hills

This was my first trip with MBA, though my fourth time joining a group trip. It truly exceeded my expectations. We had an amazing group dynamic from the beginning and our, host, Vania's enthusiasm and spunk were contagious. We stayed in a charming bed and breakfast with the backdrop of the wine hills. I enjoyed the leisurely pace of the days which started around 9am. The best part of the trip was getting to spend time in a gorgeous region that doesn't feel touristy at all. It's truly a hidden gem.

Great holiday. Our leader, Vania, was fantastic.

This trip has all the elements just right. A lovely Agriturismo, with a warm welcome and great food, comfy rooms, a funny, fabulous guide, Vania who made our terrific group gel quickly, and a perfect mix of hill walks, e-bike ride, swimming in the lake, excellent food and of course plenty of the best Prosecco! Perfect weather too. Thanks to our host, guide and MBA!

This was our first group holiday and hiking trip although we do walk run and cycle ourselves. We were a little nervous as not knowing totally what to expect but we really shouldn’t have worried. From the moment Vania got in touch we were in perfect hands. What an absolute star Vania is. Knowledgeable, organised, funny (Allora!) and compassionate. We were blessed with good weather and a great group of people. Elisa and the team at the Agriturrismo were amazing too. It felt like we were staying in Elisas home. The walks were well considered and although at points challenging they were all manageable. The meals and tastings were a great balance with the laid-back style of Margaret’s (again like being at someone’s welcoming home) to the more structured style of Laura’s vineyard talk. Experiencing the e-bikes was a revelation and really suited the group. we couldn’t have asked for a better week. Carlos as the local driver taking us up the mountain and around to the restaurants during the local stay was fabulous. We will certainly be looking at other trips we loved it.

I had a great time on the Prosecco trail. Vania is very knowledgeable, helpful and will go out her way to make sure everyone is catered for. Beautiful part of the world. Accommodation was great and very comfortable. Loved the animals!

This adventure was the perfect combo; beautiful scenery, fun loving friendly gang of people, great food and wine, charming host, thoughtfully crafted itinerary, topped off by dedicated local guide. Everything was as described but so much better in reality. This trip was an immersive introduction to Italy's Prosecco region. A gem of an area, unspoilt and undiscovered by the masses. Don't think twice about booking this adventure, but shush, don't tell everyone!!

We loved the farm that we visited, especially the honey! Our guide, Marta, was gracious. We were not fit enough for the "easy" walks on this trip, even with my very regular hot yoga/pilates and my husband's devotion to walking. These vacations are better suited to those who enjoy extreme sports and such. The wine and food were very good. The hills quite lovely. However, we aren't likely to try one of these vacations again. If you try it, be sure you're able to hike uphill for stretches.

Ours was an astonishingly good trip, and I suspect most of our group didn't want it to end. The accommodation was wonderfully relaxed and the walking and cycling routes encompassed stunning Italian countryside. Some of the hills are steep but if you've a reasonable standard of fitness, you won't have a problem. A number of people in their 60s in our group had no difficulty. Even me. . . The food was uniformly excellent, and when we arrived at little hilltop cafes to find tables laden with wine glasses and fine cheeses and melt-in-the-mouth cold cuts, everything was always to the highest standard. Our evening meals were even more top-end, dining at some truly exceptional restaurants. Marta, our tour guide, was beyond helpful and really helped bond the group together - and boy did we bond! - but all of the local people who helped support the trip were equally lovely. From the very first day everything we needed was provided before we even realised we needed it. The adventure only lasts a few days but the experience will last forever. Go ahead and book it now!

What can I say? Vania, we love you. This trip was a joy from beginning to end because of Vania, as well as all the staff at the accommodation. The people on the trip also made it really special. It's by far the best activity company I've traveled with. The itinerary, transfers, meals and the whole experience is exemplary. Thank you for making my holiday one to remember :)

Awesome time, with awesome people. It was everything I wanted and more. The details and descriptions were accurate. Fabulous!

My first time hiking and biking with a group and it was absolutely amazing. Wonderful group of people, wonderful location and well planned and executed. All made possibly by the very wonderful Vanya, our guide, who is an absolute gem. Great fun, I LOVED IT!

Beautiful scenery and location. Great walks and a fun bike ride. Brilliant food and accommodation and an amazing guide in Vania. Delicious Prosecco tasting and a great group of people to experience it with. So well organised, thanks to the brilliant Vania.

Have just finished this guided trip and it was more than I expected , so lucky to have vania as a guide , and the location was beyond stunning , the hiking , biking , and the prosecco hills are a secret location and I feel lucky to have experienced it all . . and the Prosecco wine is perfect , and I felt we were looked after like VIPS , and lucky to have a very like minded group with lots of laughter .

This is a wonderful trip around the Prosecco Hills. The guide, Vania, is amazing at her job and really helped make this a holiday to remember. The hikes and bike ride allow you to explore a part of Italy that not many tourists see, whilst giving you great scenery to look at, and plenty of local wines to sample. The food is also fantastic. A note on the difficulty rating – the trip is all completed at a relaxed pace, with the hikes and bike ride all taken nice and steady, and with plenty of breaks along the way. But. . . . you are in the hills, so be prepared for lots of ups and downs!

This was my first trip with Much Better Adventures, and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Vania, was absolutely fantastic, the accommodation was lovely, and food and drink were amazing and plentiful! My tour group was a great bunch of people, with a real mix of ages which I loved. Can’t wait to be back on another tour. Thank you!

I’m skeptical by nature, so was totally prepared to discover that this company had over promised. Sure, the ads look amazing and the concept of a small group of impressive and interesting people sounded pretty compelling. Add in a potentially heady mixture of Prosecco and hiking breathtakingly beautiful trails, and you definitely have my attention. Anyhow, I’m happy to say that MBA delivered. I am addicted.

This is my first MBA trip and it was everything I hoped for, despite our rainy weather. The hikes were well planned, the accommodations were charming, food and wine were excellent. And, Vania is passionate about ensuring everyone is enjoying their time in the lovely & unspoiled Prosecco Hills!

Incredible experience, hiking and biking through the Prosecco Hills, Dolomites and Pre-Alps. Vania is an expert guide, coach and cheerleader through all of the challenges and more. Delightful beauty everywhere. Great lodging, food, wines (especially the many types of Prosecco) and our hiking group came together in a very special way. Alchemy at its best. Thank you.

Had a great time even though weather was wet. Vania was an excellent tour guide she knows her chickens😂 accommodation was very good, comfy beds and spacious room. found food and drink amazing would go again if its sunny. Would recommend to go later on in summer months and be prepared with waterproof gear just in case.

Our tour guide Vania was the best !! She was very attentive to details and created such beautiful memorable moments that will last a lifetime!

Trip of a lifetime! Vania is a superstar guide and made this trip truly unforgettable. It provided a perfect balance of hiking, biking, wine-ing, and dining.

Wow, another amazing MBA adventure and this time in Italys Prosecco Hills, with the best group yet. From start to finish this trip had it all, delicious food, lots of Prosecco, the best guide (Vania) and best hosts at the La Bella Agriturismo, and the best craic. The walks are manageable, take your time, look at the stunning views and reward yourself with a few Prosecco!! Loved the E-Bikes, the best day, loved that bike!! Back home and will only drink DOCG. Don’t hesitate just book, you will have an amazing time. DOCG forever…. . booked my fourth MBA adventure!

Wonderful trip, far better than expected! Vania, our guide who was exceptional, the hiking was classed as easy but we would say it was more moderate as some of the hills were quite steep. A very good trip all round.

It was exactly as we expected. Great food, great wine and great experience! If you like food, presecco and the outdoors this is definitely for you! This was our first group trip and we wanted to be eased in gently to the experience.

Logistics - This is a great one to try as a first. The walks are in the presecco hills so guess what?...there are hills! The guide is given plenty of time to get round the route but, because our group was quite fast we found ourselves hanging around for transport sometimes -which is fine. Good footwear is needed (I thought this is obvious) but reading the other reviews it would seem some are caught of guard with this. Take an extra base layer/jacket for when you go higher up or if the weather turns. Plenty of opportunities for water refills, toilet breaks, cheese eating etc on route. Really good mix of exercise versus eating and drinking.

Guide - marta was fabulous she adjusted to the groups abilities instantly, knew her routes, the itinerary and arranged meals with us outside of the "organised ones" taking us to some fabulous eateries. Couldn't have had a better guide.

Accomodation-lovely small boutique style hotel with a personable touch and home cooked food. If you want a drink on an evening you have to try and get someone to open up the bar and they have their own presecco which tastes great! Staff are super friendly but English is limited they do all they can to help.

Scenery, food and drink- Just fabulous. You're never going to see or taste anything like it and there is plenty of it!! Loved the e-bikes what a fab day out.

Transfers/transport - little bit of a negative here. We were checked out at 7am due to us all having to be taken to the airport at the same time with the first flight dept. (This is stated somewhere I read it after the holiday)

Also, there was another trip (not with us) who we ended up sharing the bus and eateries with most times and also working around them for transport pick ups etc this did disgruntle us a bit due to them being somewhat rowdy. We were there for the whole experience they were there for the drink. The two groups shouldn't really have been mixed at all (I'm my opinion).

Duration - perfect time spent. We went to Venice for 2 days after to make it 7 days and Marta kindly provided us with more valuable info for that too!

A fabulous and memorable trip with friends. Stunning walks, delicious Prosecco and great accommodation. Highly recommended

Fabulous views, exercise, weather, hospitality, food and drink - especially loved the vending machines of wine!

What can I say? Everything about this trip was brilliant, our fantastic guide Vania, the food, the wine, the agriturismo, the hikes and the bikes. The walks were challenging but manageable and the views were worth the effort. My first experience of a group trip like this and thanks to a lovely bunch of fellow travellers it won’t be the last.

Had a fabulous experience in the Prosecco hills. My first time doing something like this so wasn't sure what to expect but it was really great. The guide, Vania, was amazing - very engaged, thoughtful, patient and fun. We were lucky to have a great group of fellow adventurers also. The agriturismo was very nice, Elisa and the staff were wonderful. The activities were a comfortable challenge, just enough for you to feel you deserved the delicious food and wine. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the break. Vania was an excellent guide, looking out for all of the group, all of the time. Great group, some gorgeous food and wines. A fab way to spend a few days away in a beautiful setting. Walks and ride exactly as described, though maybe far more of a challenge in hot weather.

As a solo traveler who usually finds planned group activities to be something to avoid, I was thrilled to discover my reluctance was all for nothing! This was a phenomenal adventure from start to finish, with a perfect balance of activity (some of it challenging but only in a push-yourself way, not a give-up-now way), insight into the culture of the area, lovely group dynamics, and of course, ample delicious food and Prosecco. The tour guide, Vania, is an absolute delight and stellar at making sure everyone has what they need, at all times. If you're on the fence about this one, hop down and book it!
