2,5 - Excursion d'une heure en vélo électrique à Florence Hills avec dégustation d'huile d'olive toscane





Description
Explorez la meilleure campagne environnant Florence et la Toscane sur un vélo électrique, en seulement 2,5 heures et environ 7 miles de distance. Vivez une paisible promenade en vélo électrique guidée en petit groupe (max 10 invités) depuis la zone centrale mais authentique d'Oltrarno à Florence pour vous aventurer dans les collines toscanes avec un arrêt pour déguster de l'huile d'olive vierge extra avec du pain frais fait maison dans un lieu de campagne qui est également un producteur d'huile d'olive. REMARQUE : Le lundi, le lieu est fermé, donc nous aurons plutôt un gelato florentin artisanal de haute qualité OU un Petit-déjeuner Italien traditionnel dans une pâtisserie artisanale ! (dépend de l'ouverture des magasins) Nous allons jeter un coup d'oeil à leur verger d'oliviers et en apprendre davantage sur la récolte et la production d'huile d'olive naturelle. Vous aurez la chance de voir les coins les plus cachés des collines florentines et de la Toscane : tant de verdure, d'oliveraies et de petites routes passant par l'église San Miniato al Monte, le meilleur et le moins touristique point de vue sur Florence.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Pendant la première partie de la randonnée à vélo, nous passerons par l'ancienne et massive porte de Porta Romana. C'était l'entrée principale de Florence à la Renaissance, et elle est toujours entourée par les murs de la ville du 13ème siècle qui ne peuvent être vus que dans cette partie de la ville!
Après la première colline que nous gravirons pour sortir de la ville, nous arriverons à cette impressionnante villa historique qui a été la résidence de vacances de la famille Médicis - au sommet de la colline et immergé dans une belle campagne
Admirez la meilleure vue de Florence depuis le sommet de San Miniato al Monte, la plus ancienne abbaye de la ville.
Nous passerons par un ancien village toscan où Galilée vivait, et nous verrons aussi son observatoire des étoiles immergé dans les collines

Leo was an awesome guide for our family! We did this tour with three teens, and all of them loved it. Was a nice change of scenery from all the museums and the hustle and bustle of the town, gorgeous scenery, and learned a lot!
Excellent experience with lots to learn. Sasha was fantastic!! His anecdotal information and personal history of the area was fun and interactive, unlike in museums. He was very patient and helpful with the non-bikers in the group. Amazing to get outside of the city and see the beauty that is Tuscany. 10/10 tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We love showing our guests a more personal and engaging side of Florence and Tuscany, beyond the usual sightseeing experience. Sasha will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you for the 10/10, and we hope to welcome you back for another Tuscan adventure! The WLT team
Loved the e-bike experience; getting out of the city and into the country side. Would have enjoyed hearing more about the olive oil farm, processing, and invitation to purchase something if desired.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so pleased you chose to spend part of your time exploring the Tuscan countryside with us. We also appreciate your suggestion about the olive oil experience—it’s valuable feedback, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue to improve the tour. We hope to welcome you back to Tuscany again soon!
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.
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased your whole family enjoyed escaping the city and exploring the Tuscan hills. It’s great to hear the bikes, the guide, and simply being able to relax and follow the route made the experience so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you all back for another ride in Tuscany!

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!

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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First and foremost, we are sorry to hear about the injuries you sustained and we sincerely hope you have made a full recovery. Following the incident, we reviewed the situation with both the guide and our office staff and also checked the E-bike involved. We found no indication of a mechanical defect. Our E-bikes use Bosch pedal-assist systems, which only provide assistance while pedaling and do not accelerate independently when coasting downhill. Likewise, the assistance level controls do not affect the bike's speed when not pedaling. We would also like to note that medical assistance and an ambulance were offered at the time of the accident and later in the office - we never left a person unattended, we are a small family-owned business, and we take care of our guests as best as we can. Guest safety is extremely important to us, and we continuously review our procedures and safety briefings. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to provide the safest and best possible experience for our guests. Best regards, The WLT Team
