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.

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.

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.

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.
