So much fun! - What an amazing experience! And a beautiful way to see the country side of Florence. Was my favorite thing we did while in Florence. A wonderful way to get away from the crowds.

A passion for food - As soon as we passed through the Florence Gate and started climbing the hill, the path rich with olive groves began. While cycling slowly, we were able to directly feel the Tuscan people's spirit towards food. We were able to spend a relaxing time in beautiful nature. It was perfect for a holiday that was different from sightseeing in the city.

Super day - A fantastic day with Jaco leading us through Florence’s laneways up to the splendid winery tour. A few steep climbs give one a sense of a workout deserving of the lunch. A tremendous day.

Guides who‘ll go above and beyond - My sister and I took the active 7.5 hours tour and about 90 minutes into it she started feeling low and it was clear we had to turn around. Our guide Giaccobo made sure she got back safe and arranged an alternative scenic route for me, now the only customer on the tour, including an impromptu aperitivo at a beautiful winery although they were hosting a wedding. It was ultimately last minute and Giaccobo went above and beyond to ensure the tour did not have to be cut short for me. Thank you!

great bike ride - The 2 guides, Alessandro and Simone were terrific. They were enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about Tuscany. The bike ride was challenging for about 1-2 hours. The e-bike was still a good workout and fun to use. The scenery looking down towards the city was beautiful. Getting away from the common touristy offerings was a nice change.

A great way to spend the day! - We had a wonderful experience biking with our guide Leonardo. The scenery is breathtaking and the ride was challenging but fun! Lunch at a local spot was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip - and definitely use an e-bike.

All day Tuscan chianti and olive tasting trip - A fun day out with Jack and Cosimo, our guides, who were both very knowledgable about wine, olives and the history of the area. The bikes were perfectly suitable for the terrain with no issues. There were some reasonably strenuous climbs uphill but definitely worth it for the panoramic views. Lunch was fabulous and plenty of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and would recommend this trip for any cycle enthusiast. The guides were really friendly, helpful and fun!!

Great experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our e-bike excursion into the Tuscany area, seeing the panoramic view of Florence from the hill we climbed, eating a nice lunch at Fiesole, visiting a farm and learning about grape and olive horticulture. Our very knowledgeable and personable guide, Jacopo, was the best! It was wonderful to have him all to ourselves, and to learn from him (and about him)!
