Description
Ride our luxury E-Bikes on a beautiful self guided GPS route, from Florence to Fiesole where the route descends through some lovely cypress tree forests and past the castle Castello Di Vincigliata and into the village of Settignano where you can stop at the great little alimentary with home cooked tasty Italian food. From Settignano you visit PoggioPiano vineyard where you will meet the Galardi family, who are owners of an organic Chianti Vineyard and olive grove near Al Girone. There you will be able to relax in the estate with a glass of their Chianti wines produced on site, along with snacks of Tuscan cheeses, meats and bread drizzled with their own extra virgin olive oils. The route then takes you along dedicated cycle paths traversing the River Arno back into Florence, leading you up to Piazzale Michelangelo to take in the views of Florence's skyline from this iconic vantage point, before returning the bikes to conclude the fantastic e-bike experience.

Great experience
Beautiful scenic views, easy navigation. Vineyard visit was a lovely break (and also a respite from the rain). Our family of 4 really liked this!

Terrific supported ride
My husband and I had a terrific time on this excursion. John was super helpful in describing the route, telling us what to expect, offering safety advice, suggesting places to stop, and helping us feel supported in case something went wrong. (It did not.) The bike ride itself was as beautiful as we expected, with vistas of Tuscany hills and overlooks of Florence. The vineyard was great, and we enjoyed the pool too. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Day
This was the highlight of our trip! We were provided with everything we needed in order to spend a day biking through the beautiful the countryside - GPS guide, helmets, wonderful easy to used bikes with storage on the back. We biked through the hills just outside the city, stopping to take in the views, enjoy a cappuccino, or stop at the winery for a glass of wine. The independence to follow the guide provided via the GPS allowed us to go at our own pace & felt like a special day planned just for us. We will definitely be booking again!

Highly recommend
Awesome bike experience. Whoever designed this ride did a fantastic job of stringing together a multitude of little used roads, bike paths, and wide shoulders. The one leg took us up a big climb that was clearly a go-to place for local road riders - with a bonus at the top of cute local cafe and killer view. I had never touched an è bike before but they were awesome. They seemed to level the experience between stronger and less accomplished riders. I was just coming off of a cold and the motors let me do the whole ride without breaking a sweat. Highly recommend!

Feel free in Tuscany
So Florence is a city of shopping. It’s beautiful. But, getting out of the city and seeing so much of Tuscany, a wine tasting at a vineyard and independently feeling free on e-bikes was the highlight of our trip. John has the route perfectly planned and mapped and the bikes are top tier. My 23 year old son and I LOVED this tour. It’s so fun in the forests, and easy with the e-bikes. Highly highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful
Bike riding through the hills of Tuscany was absolutely gorgeous. We had picked a really hot day so it was a little tough but other than that it was perfect. John was fantastic with explaining everything. The winery is amazing. It’s a must stop.

Fab way to see the Italian countryside
It’s a beautiful ride through the countryside, not far from the city of Florence. John carefully explains the route before you go, pointing out places of interest, best views, best cake, and where you might miss a turn. The vineyard is the perfect respite for a glass and a snack, and the people there were wonderful.. The app/map was easy to follow and worked without wifi, which was great. Nice bike, comfortable, great condition. Can’t recommend John’s shop, and the experience highly enough.

Amazing e-bike experience
Amazing experience ! John, the solo owner, takes pride in his company. The bikes are well maintained and comfortable. The self guided route is absolutely stunning from city to country side. HIGHLY recommend !!!

Beautiful Route, wonderful ride!
The owner, John, was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and helpful. He took time to make sure everyone was dialed in and he had a GREAT map & incredible loop for us to ride. The bikes were easy to use and really made the trip do-able on such steep terrain. You could enjoy the ride without worrying about your fitness level. We had never been on an E bike, but this was no problem. It was a BEAUTIFUL route and a joy to have an easy map to follow, from a person who had cycled it many times…
