Thank you for a great afternoon. Electric bike recommended
The experience was amazing. Beautiful scenery, excellent food and care and easy to realize. It was a beautiful and intimate walk as there was no one on the journey so it became more special. More than recommended. Unforgettable!!
Bicycles were top, the location fantastic. With e-bike a relaxed tour. Lush, delicious picnic, value for money very good.
We had a very fun trip and easy ride with the E bikes on the city wall and out along a river to an adorable picnic in a vineyard! Downloading the bike map app at the store beforehand took a little time but worth it as it gives you turn by turn directions.
Easy to find the bike rental and the e bikes made this trip fantastic. Nice easy route to cycle with only small inclines to navigate. A pretty ride for about an hour before we arrived at the picnic area. We had a guided tour and enjoyed hearing the history behind the vineyards. The picnic was brilliantly organised and we could choose to sit anywhere, there was plenty of seats. A short 20 minute ride back after spending time admiring the view with a cheeky glass of red. Highly recommended.
This was a fabulous afternoon. Good bikes, easy navigation and stunning countryside. The vineyard was charming and the host very knowledgeable and passionate about the place and its wines. Had a lovely, relaxed picnic in the olive grove right next to the vines then it was a short ride back. We found the navigation chews up the battery on our phone so maybe take a portable charger. All staff were great.
The use of e-bikes greatly expands the accessibility of the experience, allowing you to take a few breaks and focus on the pleasant landscape. Much appreciated the attention to any dietary needs by the owners of the cellar. Recommended!
Amazing tour to the Tuscan Hills and a family owned vineyard. We hired the electric bikes which certainly helped with climbing the hills to the Vineyard. The bikes were new and very easy to use. We had a wonderful picnic under the olive trees surrounded by daisies. The wine was delicious and we bought a bottle to enjoy later. It was so nice to see more of the countryside and meet the Urbani family.
It was amazing! The e-bikes were in great shape. The Tuscan countryside makes you feel like a movie. The vineyard and the owners were so nice and the wine was delicious. We ordered two cases to be shipped to our home in the US
We had a great time and the ride made easy with the fun to ride E-bikes! The scenery was beautiful by the River and the sunset sky coming back into Lucca was gorgeous! We loved the wine picnic and the setting in the vineyard. They are a small production 4th generation family run winery since 1894. We enjoyed the wine and bought a bottle for later. Definitely would recommend this tour!
