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

Fantastic experience
Rosaleen_C, Apr 2024
Fantastic experience in the hills around Florence with beautiful views. Clear instructions were provided at the start. We had a welcome rest at the vineyard and returned at our leisure. This was a highlight of our holiday. Thank you.

Florence with a charming guide
Casey_S, Apr 2024
John was a gracious host. He helped make us feel comfortable riding bikes in an unfamiliar, busy city. He spoke fluent English and was extremely helpful. We loved the bike ride.
Great day!
Megatron_2, Apr 2024
My adult sons and I did this bike ride/vineyard visit in mid-March. It is a fun day outside and gives a much needed break from walking around Florence. I can’t say enough positive things about the bike shop. The owner (whose name I have unfortunately forgotten) is absolutely lovely. He is kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My son showed up in just a t-shirt on a cool day and the owner offered my son the sweatshirt that he was wearing. Absolutely amazing. The e-bikes are very fun and make the hills feel easy to manage. The ride itself has some steep climbs and exhilarating downhills along with incredible views. Really fun! The vineyard is small but lovely and comes at the perfect time during the ride. We were very early in the tourist season but the woman at the vineyard couldn’t have been more welcoming. As a bonus, there is a cat at the vineyard that loves attention. Great day! Highly recommended!
Brilliant Bike Experience
Dan_S, Apr 2024
John was super kind and helpful. He altered the route to fit our needs. We loved this trip. One of our best experiences while in Firenze!
Our Favorite Florence Experience
Julie_M, Apr 2024
This was, by far, our most favorite adventure in Florence. The bikes were great, the owner is a delight and the route and map on your phone were perfect. You cover lots of miles, the countryside is truly beautiful and the winery stop so lovely. If you’re thinking of doing this trip, stop thinking! Book it! We had a group of six, different levels of bike experience and fitness and everyone enjoyed!
The best ever
Jaime_U, Apr 2024
This was by far the best bike ride of our lives. It really immersed us into the beautiful hills surrounding Florence and gave us the opportunity to see it from above and experience, the small, quaint towns around it. Vineyard where we had lunch was unbelievably beautiful and great wine and snacks. This is the best tour of my life so far!!!
Great tour of Tuscany
StephenDudley, Apr 2024
This e-bike tour allowed us to see parts of Florence and Tuscany that we would not have seen otherwise. John was very nice and got us on our way. The views are great! Please note that this is 23 mile (37 km) self-guided tour and took us about 6 hours to complete. You will need at least 2 phones or backup battery as the map will drain your battery. The map he has you download is very detailed and fool-proof. He has everything labeled from stop signs to water fountains.
Wonderful experience. Grazie. Florence e-bike
Kiyoko_A, Apr 2024
First, the owner was vey nice. He was very kind and explained about tips and everything we needed to know. We were rushing to the next appointment after the ride. But, he opened office door ( during his lunch break) to let us return our bikes. Bike ride was wonderful, and we could see beautiful olive trees, grape vines, hills and Italian houses in country side of Florence. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in unique experience. I will remember this experience forever. Grazie !!
E-bike ride outside of Florence
Tamar_D, Mar 2024
This bike ride was amazing. John, the bike shop owner, made sure we were ready and comfortable. He prepared us with a presentation in the shop, made sure our bikes were set up perfectly, and went over the map that you must download before the ride. I can’t say enough how kind and professional he is. It had rained hard for 2 days prior to our ride. My husband and I weren’t even sure we were going to ride. We went to the shop and John gave us all our options. We came back a few hours later after the weather had cleared. John said not to rush our ride and he stayed open much later while he waited for everyone to come back to the shop. The ride was so beautiful. We stopped for lunch and had such a lovely time. It was quiet and scenic. The bikes will get you up all the hills. It was a challenge but you can do it. There was a part of the ride that was barricaded due to this storm. A group told John about it and he rode his bike up there to find us. He helped us lift our bikes over the barricade so that we could finish the ride. He stayed and helped other groups do the same. We have been on many bike tours in Europe and the shop owner can make or break the experience. We have never done a ride like this and John was the best. Don’t hesitate to do this ride!
A must do
Sam_D, Mar 2024
This experience is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys breathtaking views of the rolling Tuscan hills and wine/apps from a family winery. John put together an incredible route. We started in the center of Florence, with e bikes and a GPS route to guide us. The map was easy to download and extremely descriptive/accurate. Being on our own allowed us to spend the day at our own pace, which was a great plus. We climbed through the backroads of Florence to the San Francesco monastery in Fiesole, which offered incredible views of Florence. John’s map recommended what became our favorite cafe. We then biked the winding roads for a couple hours (easy with a bike doing all the work), stopping for a break at a family run winery. We enjoyed some great homemade olive oil, mozzarella, salami, and prosciutto. Diana the cat was a surprise guest at our table for a while (heads up, she also loves the bread with olive oil). The winery owners were friendly and informative. After the winery, we biked about 40 minutes back to the shop. There was an option to bike to the Michelangelo Square, which offers different views of Florence Would definitely recommend adding this stop. 10/10 experience.
E-bike and John Top Notch!

Unforgettable ♡
Sarah_R, Mar 2024
This experience was an absolute gem! It was perfectly cultivated....you saw city, rivers, forest, vineyards, and so much more. The family owned winery was lovely and we of course shipped a case home for our friends. We easily completed the trip with brand new bikes in perfect condition which made the trip a breeze for moderate cyclists. (read the instructions ahead of time and review the map and you will be perfectly fine). My favorite experience in Italy so far♡ Thank you x100000
Amazing excursion
Erinn_K, Oct 2023
Loved this excursion. Favorite thing we did in Florence. So nice to be away from the crowds and in the beautiful countryside.
Great Tour to enjoy more of Florence
Jennifer_N, Oct 2023
The E-bike Florence Tour was great! We loved riding around the hills of Florence and seeing the beautiful views. And we enjoyed taking a break at the vineyard for some wine and snacks in a picturesque setting. The tour is self-guided, but with the GPS and the Turbo power of the e-bike, this tour is great fun. This was a great trip and we highly recommend it.
Fun and beautiful way to see Florence
Patricia_S, Oct 2023
Great way to explore Florence and its outskirts! E-bikes make it an easy ride, gorgeous scenery and picturesque views. Nice break to relax at the winery. Appreciated the detailed navigation and the freedom of a self guided tour. Loved it and would do it again.
Fun ride outside the hustle of Florence
Diane_e, Oct 2023
Absolutely great time. John is a lot of fun. Good quality, comfortable bikes. Wonderful route, the map is indispensable. Lots of fun on the curvy scenic roads (without much traffic to contend with once you get out of the main part of town). The winery is charming with good wine, food and friendly folks. We were happily tired at the end.
A favorite thing we did in Italy!
Maureen_M, Oct 2023
We were only in Florence for 2 days but decided we wanted to try something different and see more of the area around Florence. We decided to do this e-bike experience and so glad we did! The scenery of the ride was like out of a storybook and the e-bike made it way easier to ride longer distance and go up the hills. Note this is not a group tour but a ride you do on your own so you have to download the map ahead of time. By husband got familiar with the route prior which made navigating much easier. Would recommend doing that or else it might be some stop and go to read the map, especially at the beginning getting out of this city.
Highly recommend!
Katrina_M, Oct 2023
This was one of our most favorite experiences during our Florence trip! The owner, John, was very accommodating! The map you download is easy to follow, the bike pick up and orientation is easy, and the views are stunning! On top of that the winery was lovely and highly recommended.
