By e-bike we will leave from the town of Fiesole, the sky above Florence, the nature and the Tuscan countryside so close and yet so far from the city.
Away from the bustle of the city, in SMALL GROUP MAX ONLY 4 PEOPLE.
We will ride at least 30km (19mi).
You will see where Leonardo da Vinci lived and dreamed about human flight, where Dante fell in love with Beatrice. Breathtaking panoramic views of Florence, the hills and countryside surrounded by fields of olive trees. Depending on the season, we will reach a monastery still inhabited by monks at an altitude of over 800m (2600ft), or Michelangelo's childhood home. We will cross the path of the Via degli dei, the ancient Via Flaminia Minor, the Etruscan road that crossed the Apennines mountains at least 200 years BC. Along the way a brief stop at a local farm to eat, as is tradition ever since I was a child, bread, a very good local extra virgin olive oil, vegetables and fresh fruit in season and drink red house wine.

This was one of the coolest activities we did while in Florence. Perfect way to see the Tuscan countryside with great views of Florence. Giovanni was so professional and helpful. We started out with a little walk around Fiesole and history of the town. Then we practiced riding and he explained everything so well. We were a family of four (11&13 year old girls) and everyone had the best time. Our 11 year old was nervous at first about the turns but Giovani placed her right behind him and made sure she knew what to expect. She is a good bike rider so I was confident she could handle the ride. He just gave her the extra confidence to get her going and she did great. The cars are very respectful of the many bikes on the road and Giovanni made sure we were always safe. We were in good hands with him and the e-bike made all the hills very manageable. Pedaling was slow and steady and the landscape changed from up and down hills so got some good breaks. We also stopped a few times so not 4 hours of riding straight. The stop at the farm for picnic was magical and worth every penny. Truly farm to table. I highly recommend this activity for families with older kids looking to explore Tuscany is a different way.

We did the half day (afternoon) bike tour , incl food&wine tasting. An absolute top experience thanks to the incredibly nice, responsible, and knowledgeable guide Giovanni ! He let you enjoy and feel comfortable and safe every minute of the tour while providing as well top class ebikes and material. While living in Fiesole his whole live, Giovanni knows the whole area inside out, and has those interesting stories to tell on all different villages and places visited during the tour. Last but not least, a really fantastic food & wine tasting is offered towards the end of the tour. We enjoyed every single minute soo much, it was the absolute top experience of our visit to Firenze area.

WOW! This was truly one of the highlights of our entire 2 week trip to Italy! Giovanni was our owner/guide and he was amazing, helpful, fun, informative. I almost cancelled thinking it wouldn't be something special and I'm so glad I didn't. Getting out of the city was such a nice break. The countryside is beautiful. Lunch eating some local charcuterie, wine and olive oil was a perfect break. It's not a scooter you are on so you will have to pedal and it is a bit of a workout, but the motor assists you and you can cover a lot of ground. If we get back to Firenze we will definitely look Giovanni up again for another ride. Grazie mille!

Best day ever! Giovanni was thoughtful, interesting, and patient with our family. He taught us about the history of Florence and Tuscany, showed us how to navigate safely through the streets, and took us to some of his favorite hidden gems. He was so kind and we loved spending the day with him. A beautiful way to see Tuscany with a wonderful guide 🫶🇮🇹

Fantastic tour from a local - born and bred in the region. Just sharing his passion of his locality. Great insight into the reality of the artists in the area. Be warned, you will be saddle sore if you have not cycled in a long time. This is not for the faint hearted. However, I loved it, esp the farm visit. Very authentic tour. God speed and enjoy x

Giovanini runs an excellent tour on really nice, comfortable e-bikes.
It pays to follow his pre ride instructions. Validate your ticket on the bus ride up and have some lunch before you leave. Our tour met at 12 and we all had a quick safety ride so Giovanni could check seat height and evaluate the riders. And then we were off. After the hustle and heat in Florence, this was stunning. Gentle climbs, quiet roads and stunning scenery. We finished with a really nice afternoon meal with a glass or 2 of wine to fortify us then downhill back to base.
I ride a lot and my wife is more tentative and we both had a wonderful afternoon

Giovanni was awesome. He took time to ensure we were comfortable with the bikes before we ventured out in the Tuscan countryside. He shared bits about the local/ancient history, culture and agriculture while we comfortably explored on e-bikes the hills in a small group (3) on back roads to the high point, the monastery. We were treated to wine, olive oil, bread and farm fresh produce from the area. Leaving Florence for a relaxing day in the hills in Tuscany was a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of Florence. We loved our trip.
