Itinerary
Then we will proceed along the route that leads to the famous terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo, where you can stop to enjoy the unforgettable panorama that encompasses the entire city. Climbing once again, you can admire the magnificent Romanesque basilica of San Miniato al Monte.
San Miniato is one of the most beautiful Basilicas in Florence, standing atop one of the highest points in the city, from where to enjoy a breathtaking view on the whole Town.
It is a small and charming village built along the road that went to Impruneta, which has remained practically unchanged over time. The area is very rich in villas and perhaps in one of these, Villa Il Teatro, there was the theater, where at least since the fourteenth century the companies of jesters, mimes and comedians passing through the city performed.
Arcetri (Arcètri) is a hilly area south of the center of Florence, where there are numerous historic buildings, such as the house of the confinement of Galileo Galilei (villa Il Gioiello), the church of San Leonardo in Arcetri, the convent of San Matteo , the Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory and the villa where Francesco Guicciardini lived.

This bike tour was awesome! I am 61 years old and was a little nervous about riding a bike for a long time. But it was a great experience! Our tour guide and owner of the business was remarkable! She was informative, fun and witty. She made sure we were all safe! My family said this was the best experience they had in Florence. I would highly recommend for you to do it!!
It was great fun! Our guide took us to some amazing viewpoints! I highly recommend this tour!
We had an amazing time on this bike tour! Riding through the hills above Florence was truly breathtaking, with incredible views along the way. We were the only two people on the tour, which made the experience feel extra special and personal. It was such a fun and memorable way to see Florence from a different perspective. Highly recommend!
This E bike tour was a fantastic way to see the rolling Hills of Tuscany. The leader Alicia was friendly and had a great personality and was very informative of specific details of the Tuscan region. My partner and I had a blast. This is the first time I went on an E bike and it was so easy. A tour that shouldn’t be missed.
Alissa was an amazing guide. Beautiful views nice group of people. Bikes were great and made the ride easy. Definitely recommend Exactly how described
The tour did not take place because the minimum number of participants was not reached. I was informed on the day of the tour that my booking was on a waiting list, but I was still charged for the experience. I would expect clearer communication about cancellations and a full refund when the tour does not go ahead.
Highlight of our time in Florence—family of 5, ages 17, 15, and 11. Everyone enjoyed the bike ride. Perfect for a mixed-age group. Great location, not much "city" biking, and we were in the hills pretty quickly. It was hot, but the e-bikes are perfect, and we never struggled with the heat or distance. Tour guide was AMAZING! Highly recommend.
Absolutely loved this your, it’s been a highlight of our trip. Beautiful views and a really fun time. Gabriel was an amazing host! It was hot but we went in the morning and the heat was very tolerable. If you’re going to do one tour in Florence, this is the one I recommend!!
The trip was wonderful. Nice ebikes that made the hills easy. The guide was very good. She managed to keep all 12 of us safe out of the city and across the countryside. The views of Florence and Chianti were spectacular. I recommend getting lunch too. The food was delicious after the fun adventure.
This was a great bike tour from a sweet family, but I'd recommend booking directly through them and skipping the lunch.
Great experience! The ride outside Florence to the hills was beautiful! A highlight for our 13 year old! An easy ride for all skill levels.
Alessia was a very fun and informative guide on our short tour around the Florentine hills. Wonderful lunch afterwards.
A beautiful and easy way to explore the surrounding countryside outside of Florence. The E-bikes are wonderful and don’t require a lot of effort, making these a great option in the hot summer months.
What a great experience!! This was my first time riding an e-bike the team fitted a bike to your size and very easily explained how to use it. They were so nice, friendly and knowledgeable out on the ride. I had so much fun, the scenery up in the hills of Florence was so pretty. It was a very hot day but this didn’t impact you as riding along you got the cool breeze and there was a lot of it in shade with the beautiful trees lining the bike path and they had a nice cold bottle of water in a pouch attached to the bike. Plus we had the lunch option which was so nice a 3 course meal at a cute little Trattoria next to the bike shop. Would highly recommend this experience.
Pablo was an excellent guide. He took us into Tuscany to see the major sights and viewpoints. He shared interesting bits of history and facts. Seeing stunning Tuscany from great viewpoints was so enjoyable and easy with an e-bike.
We were tight on time in Florence but wanted to do something adventurous. This was a good choice - me and my two teens enjoyed it. The gelato at end isn’t really a tasting of sorts- they give you a coupon for a free small cup at local vendor nearby. Which was delicious! We upgraded for a couple more euros for larger size and loved our selections. The guide’s bike broke and he called for a replacement which was fast. The bike ride was beautiful and pleasant. Def helped to have e-bike assist us as the hills were steep! Got to see beautiful views and plenty of photo ops. Overall a great excursion and nice guide.
This bike journey is a wonderful way to be outside and see a completely different perspective if Florence. I highly recommend it.
Loved the views of the city and the great information we learned along the way.Loved the gelato tips, history, scenic route outside the city, and photo ops.
This was our favorite experience of our 3 week trip through Italy (so far). The e-bikes are easy to ride and the views are breathtaking. Alexia was a fantastic tour guide and the gelato at the end was delicious.
My husband and I are 66. Not in great shape. It was a bit hard but we made it. Bikes are peddle assist with no throttle so have to work a bit harder. So happy that we took the tour though. Beautiful sights that you just can’t see any way else. Guide was fantastic! Veronica. Would highly recommend.
Make this your top priority when visiting Firenza! Excellent experienced guide, terrific equipment, stunning views of the city and neighboring countryside, and a nice break from the noise and heat of the city. The trip description exactly matches the experience and gave a nice level of historic connection along with beauty. Personable young parent’s business worthy of your support.
This was a fantastic afternoon! Alessia is a wonderful guide and her joy is infectious. We loved the opportunity to get away from the crowds and take in some spectacular views just outside the city. Highly recommend.
My husband and I had fun. It was an easy ride and beautiful views of the city and quite views of the country side. The guide was helpful and informative.
Tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about Florence. Gave great recommendations for other activities and food. The ride was very scenic and the tour guide knew so much about the different stops.
An absolute must if you're visiting Florence. Friendly staff, easy to use bike, would highly recommend.
I wound up not participating because I was unstable on the bike. My daughter went and said it was beautiful but if you haven’t ridden a bike in a while you better practice. There are some hills that are a little steep. The tour lady was very understanding about my not wanting to complete the ride, I decided early on before we got to far to let her know. My daughter loved it!
What a fantastic tour!! Really enjoyed the scenery and using an e-bike for the first time! My tour guide was wonderful too, she was very knowledgeable and had a great recommendation for a vegetarian restaurant nearby at the end of the tour. Money well spent for some peace and fresh air outside the city, will be telling all my friends for when they come to Florence!!
Delightful guide/owner. The e-bikes were good and worked well. The route was safe and mostly either off road or on roads with little to no traffic. The guide was also very knowledgeable. So glad we did it and saw some of the countryside. Stunning views! Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic e-bike tour with Gabriel. He is a gem. Our entire family of 6 loved this activity and we are not all avid cyclists. The gelato at the end was our favorite of our entire trip. Gabriel made suggestions for some less busy sites and we weren't disappointed with Santa Croce church. Beautiful, uncrowded and historic. We would totally book again with Gabriel!
We had the best morning biking the Tuscan Hills! Favorite experience in Florence. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!
Small group ride, wonderful experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Florence and wants to get out of the main tourist center
We had some family members that had not riden a bike in years, but after a few minutes they were feeling comfortable and had a great time. Our guide, Gabriel, was informative and fun. Beautiful scenery.
Nice e-bike ride up into the hills. The gelati is a voucher and the lunch is back in the city after the ride. Probably better to find your own lunch location.
Such a fun and beautiful bike ride with our very entertaining guide Gabriel. We got out of the busy city streets immediately and the E-bikes made the hill up to the view easy! The additional loop through the landscape of olive trees and hills was beautiful! Would highly recommend.
Can not recommend this tour enough!! It has been one of our favorite parts of our trip so far! Alessia was amazing! She learned everyone. names immediately and was kind, funny, and knowledgeable!
Alessia is an amazing tour guide. She was fun, informative, and always chose safe routes to ride. It was a very relaxing trip to the countryside. Highly recommend!
Awesome! Alessia was an amazing guide, easy to use bikes, great tour with beautiful views! So much fun!
This was an amazing adventure. Martino was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
The hills outside Florence are beautiful and it’s a treat to leave the city for another perspective. Our tour guide was wonderful, as a Florence native she shared many interesting insights about the neighborhoods and countryside we explored. E bikes made the hills easy to climb. And the gelato afterward was the best we had in Florence!
Our family had a wonderful experience on our e-bike tour of the hills near Florence. The bikes were easy to use and while there were a couple of uphill climbs, my 10-year-old daughter, my husband and I managed it well. The group was not too large so we were able to navigate the streets and the hills easily. Our tour guide was engaging and took good care of everyone. We saw amazing views of the hills away from the city as well as of the city itself. Would definitely recommend!
Helene was great! Very personable and had intricate knowledge about all of the pieces. Headset and microphone were very helpful.
We loved our bike tour. The e-bikes made the hills easy, although it will still be a bit of a workout. Totally manageable, even if you don’t ride our work out often. The views were incredible. Alesia was a blast to have guide us.
A lovely cycle through the outskirts of Florence with beutiful views. Our friendly guide Alessia was excellent, giving us so much information on the area. The bikes were fabulous, in excellent condition and very comfortable
This was a thrilling experience. Absolutely stunning views, and certainly in places we would not have otherwise seen. Our guide, Alessia, was absolutely perfect in taking us through the hills.
On our last day in Florence, we did this tour and it was a wonderful way to end our time there! Our guide Alessia was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about Florence and we were able to have a conversation rather than feeling like you are being “spoken at” like many other tours seem to be. The E-bikes are great, especially when it comes to the hills. Overall, a wonderful experience and a true local family business ❤️
This was a must if you visit Florence. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the Florence region. We did not expect to see the views that this bike tour gave us but, so grateful to see the hills of Florence and views of Florence from above that were breathtaking.
What a great day. This is a business run by a local couple. We were able to see many beautiful views of the city as well as the country side. We had the upgraded lunch option. Lunch was next store at an amazing trattoria. Would highly recommend this experience.
It was a relaxing bike ride that took us to areas of Florence that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise! Gabriel was great!
We had a wonderful experience getting out of the crowds to view the countryside. From check-in to the ending gelato everything was wonderful. We always take e-bike tours in new cities when they are available and they never disappoint!
