Mike was our tour guide. He was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. Mike offered care and assistance to us on our trip up into the Florentine hills. I was on the tour with my daughter, sister and friend. It was beautiful! My favorite part was up at the lookout point. Also, we enjoyed the lovely restaurant where we tasted fresh bread and delicious olive oil. It was a fun adventure. It was a bit tricky navigating through the town at first, but it was perfect once through. It also got a bit chilly, so dress in layers. Overall, it was a great experience! I would definitely do it again!

Itinerary
During the first part of the bike ride we will pass through the ancient and massive gate of Porta Romana. This used to be the main entrance to Florence during the Renaissance, and it's still surrounded by the 13th-century city walls that can only be seen in this part of town!
After the first hill that we'll climb to get out of town, we'll reach this impressive historical Villa that used to be the holiday residence of the Medici family - on top of the hill and immersed in beautiful countryside
Admire the best view of Florence from the top of San Miniato al Monte, the oldest Abbey in the city.
We will pass by an ancient Tuscan Village where Galileo Galilei used to live, and also see his star observatory immersed in the hills

Beautiful city, lovely countryside, friendly and knowledgeable guide. A perfect activity for our family.
Wonderful way to see the city and countryside and truly be in it. You cover a lot of ground effortlessly.
We really enjoyed this bike tour! We got to see a bit of the city while also enjoying the beautiful surrohill. Michel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and also very kind and pleasant. The e-bikes were great and easy to use. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed the tour and our guide Gabriel was very informative. We traveled from the city to the hills outside of Florence and had some amazing views over the countryside. We ended our tour with delicious gelato. We would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends.
Absolutely had the best time on are bike ride up into the hills above Florance. Our guide Mike was brilliant made us feel completely at ease /funny& very knowledgeable about all the history. The views were amazing & as for the olive oil tasting yummy yummy . Sad it had to end . Definitely be back to do another tour
Leonardo was a great guide thru Tuscany Hills... We loved the ebike tour and would highly recommend it to anyone!!!
Our family group of 10 had so much fun on this 2½-hour e-bike tour through Tuscany! The e-bikes made riding easy and enjoyable, allowing us to take in the beautiful countryside. Both guides were patient and polite. Gabriella was very knowledgeable and shared just the right amount of information without overwhelming us. The whole tour had a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere that gave us time to enjoy the scenery and being together. Afterward, we had gelato instead of the olive oil tasting, and I actually preferred it! We visited a delicious local spot just around the corner from the bike shop. It was fun to enjoy a place where the locals go rather than a tourist trap. Such a wonderful experience for our family—we would highly recommend it!
The ride was beautiful and the guide was informative.
Mike was a great tour guide. We loved getting out of the city to enjoy the beautiful countryside. We highly recommend the tour!
The four of us (two couples) had an amazing time on this trip. Our guide Leonardo was kind, patient, knowledgeable and fun!! We saw amazing views and learned so much!! At times the traffic was stressful but Leonardo guided us through it expertly.
Leo was our tour guide and he did a great job. He was very informative and did a great job guiding us on our tour.
Great way to spend time in Florence! Our guide was hilarious and informative, easy to be around. Jacapo is the GOAT.
Leo was an awesome guide for our family! We did this tour with three teens, and all of them loved it. Was a nice change of scenery from all the museums and the hustle and bustle of the town, gorgeous scenery, and learned a lot!
Excellent experience with lots to learn. Sasha was fantastic!! His anecdotal information and personal history of the area was fun and interactive, unlike in museums. He was very patient and helpful with the non-bikers in the group. Amazing to get outside of the city and see the beauty that is Tuscany. 10/10 tour.
Loved the e-bike experience; getting out of the city and into the country side. Would have enjoyed hearing more about the olive oil farm, processing, and invitation to purchase something if desired.
Loved getting out of the city and into the hills. The guide was great. Bikes were great. Super nice to not have to figure out where you are going and just follow the leader. My kids loved it too.
This was by far one of my best excursion on my vacation. I went with my daughter and we did a last minute booking online. The bike ride was so much fun and the trail the instructor used was absolutely amazing. We got to see some really awesome views of Tuscany! It was fun and refreshing as we biked the journey and enjoyed the breeze. We got to take great pics of the landscape. And we also got to meet a lovely young family that rode with us! It was truly a great experience and happy to have done it with this We like Tuscany! I definitely recommend it!
The trip was absolutely terrific on all fronts! Easy access, good bikes, excellent guide (Alex) and gorgeous views of Florence and the surrounding hills. We highly recommend this experience.
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The guide was amazing and we loved riding the e-bikes. It was so fun to get out of the city of Florence for a few hours and see the beautiful countryside. We learned so much about olive trees and olive oil production. The olive oil tasting at the end was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour!
This was a great trip. Gabriela was accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice. The experiences on this trip are amazing and you are given the time to fully appreciate all of them. We would recommend to anyone.
This E Bike tour was fun and perfect for seeing the Tuscan countryside. Our tour guide was fun and informative and the olive oil tasting at the end was the perfect ending. I would definitely recommend this tour.
I am an experienced e-Scooter and e-Bike rider but had an accident when going down a very steep hill (which was near the end of the tour)... when the rear wheel of the e-Bike I was provided began to accelerate speed, and without pedal control making it hazardous for even an experienced rider! Feeling at a high risk of losing control, I tried to slow the bike down by pressing the – (minus) button but it didn’t do anything. Also, I could see in the far distance that both our Tour Guide and only 4 riders from our 8 person group, had already crossed the street and disappeared from view leaving me and 3 remaining riders/friends of mine behind. I now had only seconds to stop my accelerated speeding bike to avoid hitting my friend (who was the rider in front of me) who had made an emergency stop having seen or misjudging a traffic situation with a pedestrian crossing. I turned away from hitting her and braked using both right and left hand brakes together. As a result, I was catapulted taking the bike with me and falling to the ground. I landed on my back, injuring my back, right shoulder and elbow, separating my ribs front and back, scrapes, bruises, neck trauma, and a jaw injury resulting in two broken teeth. One of my friends assisted me by lifting the bike off my chest and getting me up off the rocky terrain. Then about 10-12 minutes later the Tour Guide showed up asking “What happened?” So, I am writing this in the spirit of learning and the lesson here is: Tour Guides need to enforce safety regulations particularly with “Turbo speed” usage. Our Tour Guide only told us to be sure and have “Turbo” on when we were about to climb up the steep hill, but once at the top he neglected to tell us to switch back to using only the regular tour mode or eco mode. So awareness, responsible riding (and staying as a group), and proper safety measures would significantly reduce these risks of this happening to someone else. Also, if there is a problem with this particular bike accelerating when going down a steep hill, then perhaps it should be removed from your inventory of e-bikes.
The bikes made the ride super easy and fun. It was extraordinary. Beautiful. The views amazing. The guide knowledgeable.
If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't recommend this experience. We saw a couple of nice views of Tuscan countryside, and learned a good amount from our guide about the Medici family, but it was a lot of standing around listening and not very much cycling. I also don't think we did everything on the itinerary - it mentions a basilica with a great view of the city but we didn't go to any basilica, just stopped on the edge of a village for a partially-blocked view of Florence. The olive oil tasting was more like a bread tasting, with three different types of bread and just one olive oil - and yes, it was a good olive oil, but I would expect to be trying at least 2/3 olive oils as part of a "tasting".
About a dozen people on this tour. High quality e-bikes. Got to ride some beautiful, scenic, narrow, traffic-free, hilly roads on the south side of Florence. The olive oil tasting was a nice stop.
Must do for anyone visiting Florence to experience the beautiful area outside of the immediate city. Great guide who made sure we were safe biking in the city. Olive oil tasting was fun. Would have liked to have tasted more varieties of olive oil and perhaps learned more about the process.
Great experience and we had a great tour guide. The tour takes you to on a beautiful Tuscan bike ride and at one point you get to stop for a bit of bread and olive snack in a cafe but that’s all it included. No other food included which is fine, it was exactly as the scrutiny was described. When we went, it was a gloomy day and towards the last 30 minutes of the ride home it poured on us. The company did provide rain coats.
Eduardo was great. We enjoyed it all!
Such a great tour! Amazing views of the outskirts of Florence, e-bikes made the uphill windy hills very easy and our guide was so much fun!
What a fun experience! Gabriel was a great tour guide who was able to inform us with so much history of the sites. He was very attentive! Thanks Gabriel!
The E-bike tour was incredible and such a great way to experience the Tuscan countryside. The views were amazing and the stop for olive oil & bread was the perfect chance to relax and enjoy the food. It was also really nice to get out of the busy city for a little while. Sasha was an amazing guide and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Had a great experience riding through the Tuscan hills with Ale, making stops along the way to learn about the history/culture, and of course tasting the olive oil. The bikes gave a smooth and easy ride. The views were incredible. My 59-year old mother in law didn’t have a problem. Would recommend!
Booked this tour last minute and we loved it. Great little bike ride without a full day commitment. Challenging if you wanted it to be, or you could let the e-bike help out ;) Scenery was amazing and our tour guide, Gabriel, was top notch (super friendly).
Eduardo was a great tour guide. This tour is a great way to get out of the city and see the beautiful countryside. Eduardo did a great job keeping us together and going at a pace we all enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this tour!!
It was a wonderful combination of history of the city of Florence, exploring the outskirts of Florence, and amazing views of the city. Highly recommend!
Gabriele was an excellent guide. He was passionate about his love for Italy and the history behind it. Very knowledgeable.
Sasha was a great guide through a beautiful ride with views of the city and the countryside. I was happy with the experience.
Great tour! Alesandre was the perfect guide! Knowledgeable and friendly, led and kept us together very well where we felt safe navigating the city streets and such. Bikes were awesome; views spectacular!
The bike tour was great. Our guide, Alessandro, was super helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained each segment of the trip so you knew what to expect. We chose this tour because we needed a later start (2pm) and it fit into our schedule perfectly. I’d definitely recommend this to everyone that wants a break from the city.
This was a very enjoyable ride and it was great to see a bit of the countryside right outside of Florence. Giuseppe was a great guide. You could definitely feel his passion for everything Florence.
This was a perfect way to get out of the center of Florence and see beautiful views and try some amazing olive oil. Our guide was super knowledgeable and so friendly. The E biking made it so much fun and refreshing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a little activity and beautiful views of Tuscany.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered any and all questions. The scenery was amazing and we enjoyed all the picturesque stops.
This was a great tour which led us up and out of the city of Florence into the Tuscan hills. The landscape and scenic overlooks were wonderful (and made for great photo ops). The olive oil was delicious and an enjoyable break. Highlight was bicycling nearly effortlessly up the gorgeous hills. Iocopo, our guide, was friendly & easy going which perfectly matched the rest of the tour.
The highlight of our trip was spending the day with our wonderful guide enjoying Florence and the Tuscan countryside. Cannot recommend We Like Tuscany enough.
Although the weather was the not best. The tour was great and the guide made the most of it with us. Highly recommend it
Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and he really cared about the safety of the group. The views were stunning and the olive oil was delicious. Thank you Giuseppe.😊
Such a fabulous trip. Very friendly and informative guide. Fascinating facts as you ride round. Wonderful rural views just outside Florence. Delicious olive oil and bread stop, a visit to a beautiful chapel/monastery at the highest point with the best view of Florence.
You see so much of the country side the views were beautiful and history. It was so fun!the electric bike made it so easy to enjoy
This was one of my favorite things I’ve done in Florence! We wanted a taste of Tuscany without committing to a half or full day tour . I hadn’t ridden a bike in years, but quickly got into a comfortable rhythm and the e-bike made it so much easier. The countryside outside the city was beautiful and Jacobi was an excellent guide!
