E-Bike Val d'Orcia Esperienza

A highlight of my Tuscany trip! The guided e-bike tour with Urban Bikery was fantastic from start to finish. The route was beautiful, the bikes were excellent, and the team were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. As a solo traveller, I especially appreciated how included I felt – even ending up sharing a beer with the lads afterwards! A wonderful way to experience the Tuscan countryside. Highly recommended.

Our self guided tour departed from Montepuciano at about 10:30 AM. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A special shout out to Luca who gave us a great orientation and actually escorted us on a bike out of the city onto the trails. The bikes were well maintained, and powerful enough. They had an app to guide us through the beautiful countryside. For whatever reason our Canadian cell phones, which had data service in Italy, had trouble staying connected to the Google Maps along the way. Nevertheless, we found our way and had a great day we returned around 3 pm.

This was a wonderful experience and the highlight of our week in Val D’Orcia. We did the long ride option from Montepulciano to montichiello and Pienza. The lunch stop was in an amazing place with beautiful views. Food was delicious and service excellent. You can shorten the ride and skip Pienza if you want. E bikes worked great and much needed up the many hills. This is off road a majority of the time. Urban Bikery staff was excellent.

We had a fantastic day. Rode to several small towns. Stopped for wonderful two hour lunch in the countryside. Our guide Luca was AWESOME…..So much fun, enthusiastic and helpful.

This is amazing for those who are in shape and good athletes, but it is not a simple or relaxing ride. It includes many up and down hills on narrow roads with cars speeding by. I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts, because when we asked about appropriate ages for the day, there was no description about how tough it could be. Our group was age 9 - age 80. A couple of our adult members had to stop early and get picked up early. But those who are adventurous and in decent shape -- this will be amazing! The lunch was the best meal of a 2 week trip to Italy according to most of the adults.

Our Urban Bikery experience was by far our family's favorite day of our trip to Italy. Michele and Pepe went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience riding through the countryside. They were accommodating and hospitable. We had a flat tire and they drove out to make an on site repair to send us along on our way. Aside from the great bikes and hospitality, the store has some really cool gear. I bought a stylish suede jacket that Michele shipped to the U.S. for me. Overall, if you're visiting Montepulciano, you MUST visit The Urban Bikery!

This is a great experience, but a guide is a must! It is a beautiful ride through the rural countryside. Maria was a happy, lively guide. We visited two wineries that were both informative and fun. Take the choice to eat the restaurant rather than the winery because the family restaurant is not only delicious but a very authentic experience as it is located in a town with 8 homes! The terrain is very hilly both up and down which does require some athleticism and the bikes while e-bikes do require effort and again an ability to cycle. A great adventure I would recommend, the Urban Bikery staff is super!!

Great bikes and service from the team. Dropped on time and collected from our villa. Thanks to the team. Enjoyed the scenic rides

We were in Tuscany for our 5 year anniversary and could not have chosen a better excursion than an ebike tour with Urban Bikery. Michele was SO pleasant to work with - we didn't have a car rental so he dropped off our bikes at our B&B and then also drove us home in his personal car after the tour was done. Everything was set up perfectly for us, ESPECIALLY having the included lunch in the tour at Casagori - it was the best meal we had in Italy. Couldn't recommend Urban Bikery enough!

We did a self guided tour using the Urban Bikery app which was well constructed and easy to use. The bikes and support equipment were of excellent quality and well adapted to the terrain. Truly magnificent scenery using gravel tracks and very minor roads ensured a fabulous day out in the glorious Tuscan sunshine.
