A Bergamo tour works on two levels, literally: the walled upper town, Città Alta, sits on a hill above the modern lower town, and a funicular links the two. Two options lead Viator. The full-meal food tour in the upper town is rated 4.8 across 199 reviews, from about $106. The e-bike tour, with entrance to San Vigilio Castle, is rated 4.9 across 92 reviews, from about $110.

The verdict
The food tour is our pick for most visitors. It starts at the top of the funicular in Città Alta and runs for three and a half hours, with meals, wine and water included. It has twice as many reviews as the e-bike tour, and it doesn’t depend on the weather. One reviewer notes the guide may repeat everything in more than one language.
The e-bike tour covers more ground. In three hours, a certified mountain-bike guide takes you through Città Alta and down into the green hills below, with bike, helmet, insurance and entrance to San Vigilio Castle included. It is rated slightly higher, but the supplier may cancel for bad weather.
Neither option is listed as wheelchair accessible.
Bergamo is an easy train ride from Milan, so either tour fits a day trip. For more ideas, see our guide to the best day trips from Milan and our Bergamo guide.
