John was an excellent communicator and instructor. The tour was a wonderful way to escape the city and see the countryside. The vineyard was truly a delight, and the sites provided were gorgeous. We had 11 bikers in our group and the self-guided tour/app/gps allowed us to ride at our own pace. The bike ride was an intense and thrilling adventure! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

John's bike route app was excellent. His pre ride briefing covered all we needed to know about bikes, and riding in the area. Bikes well maintained. The bike route was beautiful. Vineyard was a great stop. Best experience of our Florence visit

Itinerary

With this independent self-guided e-bike tour, you can benefit from the battery-assisted boost on your bike and directions from a GPS device to easily scale Florentine hills and independently explore the countryside.
Your morning starts at the bike shop on Via Gallo just outside the center of Florence. Get set up on the right bike and take a roughly 45-minute ride to the historic town of Fiesole, where you stop for coffee and catch views of Florence from the town’s monastery.

Afterward, it’s about 40 minutes on your bike to a boutique vineyard near the Arno River, where you sample wines and have a picnic of typical Tuscan products (own expense). After about one hour at the vineyard, head back to Florence. Stop at Piazza Michelangelo, known for panoramic views of Florence, before returning your bike to the shop on Via Gallo

This was a great time on our trip! John was friendly and informative. The ride can be a challenge if you’re not used to riding. The bikes are pedal assist and go to 16 mph. There is a lot of uphill riding so you have to be prepared for that. The area that you will write through is absolutely beautiful! I cannot stress enough. The winery is stunning with very friendly people in good wine. If you’re up for a challenge, I definitely recommend this trip! Make sure to pack some insulated water bottles to refill as you go.

Get out of the city for a beautiful country view!

PatriciaApplegate, Jun 2026

This gets you out of the city for a day! John was great and has a great sense of humor! We loved every minute of the tour! Be prepared and bring water. There are hills to climb but the e-bike helps tremendously! As long as you know how to use the e-bike you will be fine. The winery is worth the stop! Extremely friendly and the wine was great considering I am not a wine drinker. I just had to try it and I am glad I did. The olive oil is so pure I bought 3 bottles. If you want to get away from the crowd this is a must do. Thank you John!

Best bike ride in Florence, Italy

Julia_H, Jun 2026

Hands down one of the best bike rides we have been on and we bike regularly. I am 63 and my friend is 66. We downloaded Maps.me and John's route before we left the states. He gave us clear instructions on bike use and went over route. We ended up joining a wonderful group of 6 Canadian riders, (thanks again) and really enjoyed route. We stopped at Vineyard about half way mark and enjoyed glass of wine and charcuterie board, and a swim for $15 euros/per person. We went up quite a bit, bikes did great. We went through forests and saw things you would only see from bike. Coming back into Florence we road the streets no problem. Great people, great bikes , great route!!! Highly recommend

Family with Adult Children- perfect experience

Robin_H, Jun 2026

The ride is a little strenuous, but doable. The route and views are amazing. We saw Florence in a way we would have never seen in a car and couldn't have reached on foot. And the winery and town were beautiful. It was a fun day!

Spend a day in the hillsides of Tuscany

Tracy_C, May 2026

This was the prettiest bike ride I’ve ever taken and I’m so glad we spent our day in Florence this way! The proprietor of the business, John, was great and explained everything about the bikes to us, as we were all new to using e-bikes. John made us feel welcomed and appreciative of our business. He offers fantastic support so no worries if you break down or get lost - he’s there to help! I love supporting small businesses any opportunity I get and would not hesitate to rent from this company again when I return to Florence - it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

The best excursion in Florence!

The owner of the shop was exceptionally helpful. Reviewed the self tour map well and gave us helpful hints for good viewing and trouble spots. The bikes are in excellent condition and he made sure they fit us well before we left the shop

Best experience in Florence

We had a fabulous day...

Alexander_C, Apr 2026

We had a fabulous day getting out of the city and exploring the countryside. The map was easy to follow. The bikes were easy to use. The route winded its way through wine country, a peaceful wooded section and to a vineyard, where we enjoyed a beautiful view, a wine tasting and light lunch. The vineyard staff was super friendly. We enjoyed the ride back to the city along the river. Business owner John was very accommodating. We highly recommend booking!

Definitely Recommend

Suzanne_W, Mar 2026

Outstanding route where every part of the journey had amazing views. The recommended stops were spot on. Bikes were well maintained and the entire trip was as advertised, but even better. 100% recommended for travelers who want a little bit of adventure and outdoor time. Thank you, John!

Goodbye busy Florence, hello Tuscany!!!

Lise_B, Mar 2026

This was such a great way to spend the day away from the busy crowds in Florence and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Tuscany. Map was easy to follow and bikes were great. Vineyard was perfect spot to rest and refuel. A definite highlight of our trip to Florence.

Absolutely wonderful!

Teri_S, Oct 2025

This is for people comfortable on an ebike and biking on roads. You also need to be comfortable following a GOS map while biking. Given all that… this was probably our favorite activity in Florence! It was great to get into the country side and we loved going at our own pace and stopping wherever we wanted! The views were amazing. The winery was wonderful with some of the best food we had while in Florence! If you like to tour by bike you will love this!!!

Memorable Day

Wendy_S, Oct 2025

Group of three women - two 45 year olds and a 72 year old. The owner did a great job explaining the route with a little presentation. The e-bikes and helmet worked as expected and were set for our height. The vineyard lunch and wine tasting was so special. The hosts are well spoken and thoughtful. We bought a few flights, olive oil tasting, mixed platters for a reasonable price. The city portion of the ride is tricky due to construction but we made it with all limbs intact. We tried to follow locals along that portion of the route which made it more manageable.

If you like to bike do this tour!!!

Sue_G, Oct 2025

John provided us with everything we needed, bikes, helmets, map, video instructions and directions. We had one of our best days in Italy! The ride was challenging but fun, the pastry shop and vineyard were both delightful!

So much fun!!!

Jodi_M, Oct 2025

This was on e of my favorite things that we did in Florence. The ride was beautiful, and not difficult. The winery so perfect and the family who owned the winery was so kind and took great care of us. I would absolutely recommend this excursion is you are looking for something fun to do. We left about 1030 and made it back to the bike shop around 330. We had the bikes until 6 so I wish we had stayed a little longer at the winery. Great day!

Bikes views and wine

Thomas_H, Oct 2025

Highly recommended the self guided bike experience, we had an amazing time! John had us set up and on the road by 10:30, he was available and responsive via WhatsApp throughout the day. The E-bikes are very easy to use, you bike for 10-15 to reach the country roads, and never directly through the most congested streets. Italian drivers are very polite to bikers and allow plenty space when passing. Exploring the towns and taking in the views at our own pace was a highlight of this trip, truly no better way to experience Tuscany and Florence. I’ve done the traditional bus tours in the past, this is 1000% better for those who enjoy being outside and moving at their own pace. Take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy!

Scenic views

Yani_B, Oct 2025

Scenic and peaceful views once you are out of the city. Be prepared for inclines and declines. Also gets you a great workout in!

Amazing route to Fiesole,...

Eric_T, Oct 2025

Amazing route to Fiesole, through a forest and then the vineyard which was a great stop. It is a long ride with lots of vertical but the e-bikes make it doable. The shop took care of us and prepared us for a good experience. Not for the casual bike rider.

Absolutely yes to this!

Stephanie_K, Sep 2025

Super clear instructions that we were able to follow. The e-bikes are amazing! We had only one issue with one of our bikes and John quickly brought a part and we were good to go! No issues. Just make sure your battery is fully charged on your bike before you leave the shop.

E bike through Florence and Tuscany to enjoy the best day.

Leanne_S, Sep 2025

What an amazing way to experience Florence. The cycle trip takes you through a small town where you can taste exquisite pastries, through olive groves and forest to a beautiful vineyard where you can enjoy lunch and a wine tasting. Perfecto! The E bikes are easy to use and make cycling a breeze…

A Wonderful Ride Thru The Tuscan Coutryside

Richard_H, Sep 2025

Well organized, the required phone app was easy to use, John was very helpful in setting it up. The tour itself was a highlight of a two week trip to Italy. Beautiful ride thru the hills and forest outside Firenze

E-bike tour Florence-Fiesole

Dimitrios_S, Sep 2025

John was awesome. Bikes were in great shape. The route was easy to understand and the app was easy to use. Highly recommend this if you want to do something different in Florence. Thanks John!!!

An amazing Tuscany adventure

Lesley_P, Sep 2025

What an amazing experience. Breathtaking views of Tuscany as you ride through the towns and hills. Some knowledge of e-bikes will make this experience easier. Be aware that there are some steep climbs on this adventure, but well worth the trip to the top!!! I am an average bike rider and completed this tour fine. Pack water and maybe a snack. Your body will need the fuel. Best part is arriving at the Winery 3/4 of the way through the trip. John was a pleasure to deal with. This will be etched in our memories forever

Great time!

Heidi_C, Aug 2025

What a great time! Tour was fantastic. He was very thorough explaining how the bikes work and a preview of the route. There is plenty of storage on the bikes for all your stuff. Was a little scary riding in the city but once you were out of that it was much better. Stop at the winery was fantastic. Great wine and food options. Highly recommend this!

A great way to see Tuscany.

Dana_T, Jul 2025

We took our 3 teens on this adventure and we all had a blast. 3 of my family members race mountain bikes so it was easy for them. My daughter and I had never been on an E-bike before so needed to get use to how heavy the bike was. The ride starts and ends in the city so you have to do a lot of starting and stopping and maneuvering around people and traffic. Once you are out of the city, it is a fantastic way to see the countryside. John was great to work with and the map was super easy to follow. Definitely stop at the winery. And there are a few places along the way to refill your water and use the toilet. Well organized and a fabulous way to get out of the city for a bit.

Unbelievable experience...

Vincent_J, Jul 2025

Unbelievable experience and great way to see parts of Florence and Fiesole. There are a few viewpoints that are definitely picture worthy. The vineyard was a great touch! Couldn’t recommend enough.

Excellent experience

Sandra_P, Jul 2025

Amazing experience. A highlight of our time in Florence. Despite the hot weather the bike adventure was still fantastic.

Check Mate

Dan_W, Jun 2025

An adventure we will never forget. Incredible views! Be prepared for hills and traffic! Riding at your own pace was nice!

Kudos

Dawn_P, May 2025
