2.5 - Excursión en bicicleta eléctrica a Florence Hills con degustación de aceite de oliva toscano

Loved getting out of the city and into the hills. The guide was great. Bikes were great. Super nice to not have to figure out where you are going and just follow the leader. My kids loved it too.

This was by far one of my best excursion on my vacation. I went with my daughter and we did a last minute booking online. The bike ride was so much fun and the trail the instructor used was absolutely amazing. We got to see some really awesome views of Tuscany! It was fun and refreshing as we biked the journey and enjoyed the breeze. We got to take great pics of the landscape. And we also got to meet a lovely young family that rode with us! It was truly a great experience and happy to have done it with this We like Tuscany! I definitely recommend it!

The trip was absolutely terrific on all fronts! Easy access, good bikes, excellent guide (Alex) and gorgeous views of Florence and the surrounding hills. We highly recommend this experience.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The guide was amazing and we loved riding the e-bikes. It was so fun to get out of the city of Florence for a few hours and see the beautiful countryside. We learned so much about olive trees and olive oil production. The olive oil tasting at the end was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour!

This was a great trip. Gabriela was accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice. The experiences on this trip are amazing and you are given the time to fully appreciate all of them. We would recommend to anyone.

This E Bike tour was fun and perfect for seeing the Tuscan countryside. Our tour guide was fun and informative and the olive oil tasting at the end was the perfect ending. I would definitely recommend this tour.

I am an experienced e-Scooter and e-Bike rider but had an accident when going down a very steep hill (which was near the end of the tour)... when the rear wheel of the e-Bike I was provided began to accelerate speed, and without pedal control making it hazardous for even an experienced rider! Feeling at a high risk of losing control, I tried to slow the bike down by pressing the – (minus) button but it didn’t do anything. Also, I could see in the far distance that both our Tour Guide and only 4 riders from our 8 person group, had already crossed the street and disappeared from view leaving me and 3 remaining riders/friends of mine behind. I now had only seconds to stop my accelerated speeding bike to avoid hitting my friend (who was the rider in front of me) who had made an emergency stop having seen or misjudging a traffic situation with a pedestrian crossing. I turned away from hitting her and braked using both right and left hand brakes together. As a result, I was catapulted taking the bike with me and falling to the ground. I landed on my back, injuring my back, right shoulder and elbow, separating my ribs front and back, scrapes, bruises, neck trauma, and a jaw injury resulting in two broken teeth. One of my friends assisted me by lifting the bike off my chest and getting me up off the rocky terrain. Then about 10-12 minutes later the Tour Guide showed up asking “What happened?” So, I am writing this in the spirit of learning and the lesson here is: Tour Guides need to enforce safety regulations particularly with “Turbo speed” usage. Our Tour Guide only told us to be sure and have “Turbo” on when we were about to climb up the steep hill, but once at the top he neglected to tell us to switch back to using only the regular tour mode or eco mode. So awareness, responsible riding (and staying as a group), and proper safety measures would significantly reduce these risks of this happening to someone else. Also, if there is a problem with this particular bike accelerating when going down a steep hill, then perhaps it should be removed from your inventory of e-bikes.

The bikes made the ride super easy and fun. It was extraordinary. Beautiful. The views amazing. The guide knowledgeable.

If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't recommend this experience. We saw a couple of nice views of Tuscan countryside, and learned a good amount from our guide about the Medici family, but it was a lot of standing around listening and not very much cycling. I also don't think we did everything on the itinerary - it mentions a basilica with a great view of the city but we didn't go to any basilica, just stopped on the edge of a village for a partially-blocked view of Florence. The olive oil tasting was more like a bread tasting, with three different types of bread and just one olive oil - and yes, it was a good olive oil, but I would expect to be trying at least 2/3 olive oils as part of a "tasting".

About a dozen people on this tour. High quality e-bikes. Got to ride some beautiful, scenic, narrow, traffic-free, hilly roads on the south side of Florence. The olive oil tasting was a nice stop.
