★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,300 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Cycle through Chianti from Florence with scenic country roads, castle wine tasting, olive oil, lunch, guides, and e-bike support.

“I highly recommend this tour especially if you want to get out of Florence and explore the countryside without going too far away. I am a solo traveler and I felt comfortable. If you’re like me and need to know all the details before you do something, here is the breakdown: You meet your guide at their storefront. Use the bathroom at a nearby cafe before leaving! Then you walk to a parking lot and get in a sprinter van and drive to the castle. The ride isn’t too long but it’s beautiful. It’s a very windy road! At the castle you’re given a bike, helmet, water, and some safety…”

Ride from Florence into Chianti on an e-bike, with vineyard views, a winery lunch, two wine tastings, and practical tips for a full-day outing.

“What a wonderful tour this was! Francesco was great as the tour guide and Oscar was just fantastic 👏 I'm sure I was the most inexperienced rider of the tour and if it wasn't for Oscar's encouragement, and the rest of the team, I'm not sure I could have made it up those initial hills 😊 I had the best day ever. The tour of the winery and the lunch that followed was fabulous. I can highly recommend this tour. Thank you for a wonderful day 😊👏”

8.Tuscany Bike Tour with Wine, Oil and Food in the Florentine Hills

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 209 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $95

Review of Florence’s Tuscany bike tour with four hills, Chianti wine, olive oil, Tuscan food, villas, and wide city views.

“Great guide with informative stops and picture-taking. Tuscany countryside ride was beautiful, but was preceded/followed by city ride from/to the bike shop. City ride was a bit treacherous trying to dodge vehicles and people. E-bikes (and introductory instruction) worked well, though many folks did just as well without them. Tastings were little more than a glass of wine and olive oil served with a plentiful Italian lunch plate at a restaurant on the edge of town. Meeting point was difficult to find without a business logo to see from the street. This was probably an ideal half-day bike tour, but for more Tuscany countryside and less city riding I would…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 204 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $175

Ride 16 miles from Como through lakeside villages and Swiss Merlot vineyards on a guided e-bike tour for confident cyclists.

“This was a great bike ride through the small villages and around a good portion of the lake. This was definitely an excursion to ride a bike and not to necessarily sightsee. You really got to experience what it’s like to ride in their environment. We did stop at a couple cool spots and there was time for picture taking. Max was wonderful.”

Ride Lucca’s historic walls, pedal through Tuscan countryside, and enjoy a family winery tasting with local food.

“This was a great afternoon even in the rain. The bikes were great and our guide knew all about Lucca and told us some interesting stories. Our ride to the winery was on country roads with a few hills and I was glad we were on e-bikes! The winery was a wonderful family run vineyard. They treated us like family and gave us lots of snacks to go with the wine. The owner has an old fashioned juke box that is fantastic. He will let you choose a song. I highly recommend this tour.”

Cycle from Alberobello to Locorotondo on an e-bike, tasting focaccia, wine, and almond sweets among Puglia’s trulli and olive groves.

“Great tour! Local guides Ricardo and Mirko led us with a small group, 11 in total, through the countryside from Alberobello to Locorotondo on good e-bikes. We had half an hour to look around the town then stopped off at Stefano’s Trulli, for fresh Focaccia, wine, and a local almond cake before returning to the start point through the Trulli of Alberobello. A great way to see a bit of Italy! The e-bikes sure made light work of the hills too. We would highly recommend this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 54 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $203

Cycle from Lecce through olive groves to Sternatia and Galatina for an underground mill, pasticciotto, culture, and a taxi back.

“We really enjoyed our tour with Marco and had a wonderful time! So many fun stops along the way. Marco is a great guide and was very communicative. We learned so much about the region. The old olive mill tour was super special and the local restaurant for lunch was the best food we’ve had so far on our trip to Italy. The e-bikes were very easy to use and we appreciated the extra thoughtfulness with providing a snack and electrolytes. We highly recommend this tour (or another of Marco’s) if you are coming to the Puglia area. Truly an unforgettable experience.”
