Itinerary
Piazzale Michelangelo
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.
Basilica 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.
Villa Pian dei Giullari
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.
INAF Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory
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.

Tuscany on an ebike
This E bike tour was a fantastic way to see the rolling Hills of Tuscany. The leader Alicia was friendly and had a great personality and was very informative of specific details of the Tuscan region. My partner and I had a blast. This is the first time I went on an E bike and it was so easy. A tour that shouldn’t be missed.

No trip but money charged
The tour did not take place because the minimum number of participants was not reached. I was informed on the day of the tour that my booking was on a waiting list, but I was still charged for the experience. I would expect clearer communication about cancellations and a full refund when the tour does not go ahead.

Must Do Activity!
Highlight of our time in Florence—family of 5, ages 17, 15, and 11. Everyone enjoyed the bike ride. Perfect for a mixed-age group. Great location, not much "city" biking, and we were in the hills pretty quickly. It was hot, but the e-bikes are perfect, and we never struggled with the heat or distance. Tour guide was AMAZING! Highly recommend.

A beautiful experience!
The trip was wonderful. Nice ebikes that made the hills easy. The guide was very good. She managed to keep all 12 of us safe out of the city and across the countryside. The views of Florence and Chianti were spectacular. I recommend getting lunch too. The food was delicious after the fun adventure.

Great quick bike ride outside the city
This was a great bike tour from a sweet family, but I'd recommend booking directly through them and skipping the lunch.
