My Story

Avid cyclist, foodie, wine lover, and world traveler (39 countries). Former Google executive and tech entrepreneur who loves to design and lead cycling vacations in Napa Valley, Sonoma, and beyond.

My Travel Style

I believe the best way to experience the world’s wine regions is on a bicycle. I reside in Napa Valley and can craft your ideal active vacation, which includes not only lodging, but also bike rentals, customized routes, unique winery experiences, spa bookings for post-ride recovery, and reservations for farm-to-table restaurants. I employ cycling guides with local knowledge to lead your private tour, so all you have to do is pedal and enjoy the vistas and gems of the region. Check out my cycling tour videos on Instagram and YouTube.

Gerardo once again was efficient and knew what I cared about. He found a good shop for me to rent a bike from, so I could ride on the beach which is a truly special experience in Cocoa Beach.

I can keep raving about Gerardo. He’s a total sweetheart, very kind, and an exceptional planner.

Knowing my partner is an avid cyclist, Gerardo suggested we attend the Tour de Calistoga, which offered a range of routes for cyclists of all levels. He booked accommodations which exceeded our expectations and stayed below budget and had extra welcome perks arranged for us. He also arranged our bike rentals which were a breeze to checkout and ride. It was my first ride and I’m hooked. Finally he even made suggestions as to what Tour de Calistoga events we should take advantage of. It was an incredible weekend and we had so much fun. We look forward to continuing to explore the fantastic cycling destination that Calistoga is. And so much of the credit goes to the fantastic Mr. Gerardo. You’ll be in safe hands with him. He’s the best!

I'm so glad I worked with Gerardo to arrange my accommodation for the Tour de Calistoga! In addition to helping me find a wonderful hotel, he provided me with cycling routes and restaurant recommendations along the Vine Trail. It made for the perfect recovery day after the Tour de Calistoga. His knowledge of Napa Valley's hotels, culinary hotspots, wineries, bike shops and cycling routes is amazing!

Gerardo was great in helping with the booking. He made sure we could take advantage of early check in and late check out. We got in house credits for breakfast and the hotel in general. He made sure we were eligible for an upgrade which did come through

I’m an active traveler and always like to explore a new city destination by bike. I used Gerardo as my travel advisor because he was well travelled and shared my passion for active vacations. He recommended the Kimpton Edinburgh along with local cycling tour operators in Edinburgh and the Cairngorms. The Kimpton was well located and had an excellent gym and spa. I loved the special perks he was able to secure…like the late check out and free breakfast! The breakfasts were fabulous (you could order a hot breakfast—not just continental). And lunch at the hotel’s restaurant, Baba, was some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a while.

I was also delighted he booked me an outside cycling tour operator in Edinburgh as the hotel provides bikes, but they only have two and it’s first come first serve. The bike Shop in Cairngorms was also great.

I highly recommend Gerardo as he created an amazing trip for me based on his experience, attention to detail and instincts on what travelers like me appreciate.
