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…”

Review of Florence’s private bike and scooter tour, covering major sights, guide quality, costs, safety, route, and who will enjoy it most.

“The tour was professionally run, the guide was excellent and we saw many of the key areas of the old city. But...... Florence is not an ideal city to Segway in as the streets are so crowded either with people or cars, slowing progress and taking the enjoyment out of riding a segway.”

“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 😊👏”

12.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…”

See Florence by bike in 2.5 hours, from the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio to Santa Croce, with an audio guide and English-speaking leader.

“Leonardo hat uns sehr gut durch die Stadt geführt und pünktlich abgeholt. Vom Treffpunkt ging es zum Fahrradverleih die Räder abholen. Da die Stadt recht voll war ( wie meistens ) müssen wir natürlich oft absteigen. Leonardo hat uns auf Englisch viel erklärt - bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten kamen die Infos auf Deutsch mittels Ohrenstöpsel. Preis-Leisung top - knapp drei Stunden Spaß und Unterhaltung zu viert, eine kleine Gruppe. Danke Leonardo.”
