A great ride - Absolutely loved this tour! The e bikes were well maintained. Jack (attack) our guide, had great insight into Florence as well as olives and wine production. The biking part was so easy with the e-bikes and getting up the hills provided a beautiful view. Visiting the small olive grove and winery was amazing. Then to the local retaurant and eating most delicious ravioli, while drinking the local wine, just added do the whole experience!

Absolutely do this bike tour! - We had an amazing tour. Our guide, Claudio, was fun and extremely knowledgeable. He really made the day special, taking the time to point out everything from the history of the buildings, the towns, and even the food! He stopped to pull bay leaved from the side of the road to let us smell them, and tied that in to a surprising summation of Tuscan cuisine. The ride was occasionally challenging on a few uphill stretches, but we were able to get e-bikes for a small additional fee, which helped me (I've got a bad knee). All the folks on regular bikes did great too, but I'm glad I went for the e-bike. We saw so much more of Florence on this tour than we could have possibly seen walking in the crowded tourist areas. I highly recommend this tour! If you get Claudio, say Hi for me.

Beautiful sights & fun experience - Allesandro was an awesome guide for our bike tour. He made everyone feel comfortable and. Included in his conversations. We loved his knowledge, sense of humor and passion about Florence. The cycling up the hills was challenging but that made it more fun. The stops along the way were beautiful and interesting. The anti-pasta plate and wine at the 200 year old restaurant was really a treat where the conversation remained lively.

A half day of beautiful scenic riding & tastings! - It was a super tour, led by a very knowledgeable guide in Giacobbe. As for the biking itself, it’s a relatively short ride overall (~10km) but does have some steeper climbs, however there is no pressure to ride quickly and it’s quite manageable. You make several stops along the way and our guide shared detailed history of the sites, flora & fauna, etc. The wine and olive oil tasting is at a beautiful villa and was quite enjoyable to wrap up the day. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a half day free in your itinerary, with an itch to get a bit active and learn more about Florence!

Definitely recommend - Despite the wind, rain and hail, we had a great ride with Giovanni, our We Like Tuscany guide. Although conditions were less than ideal, the scenery along the rural roads outside Florence was gorgeous. Only criticism is that I had to pay for 2 people although I was by myself. Still, I definitely recommend the experience.

Fabulous Bike Tour! - What a fabulous tour! Our guide, Giuseppe, was such a breath of fresh air. He was informative, fun, energetic, and enhanced the trip all the more. We loved seeing all of the different vistas and learning about the city of Florence as well as the olive oil and wine making process. Our snack was delicious and truly farm to table. Would highly recommend to anyone as this was one of the favorite things I did in all of Italy!

Fun Bike Ride on the Outskirts of Florence - My husband and I had an excellent time on the bike tour with Eli. We got to see some of the countryside and enjoyed some cheese, meat, and wine at a beautiful restaurant outside town. Would highly recommend!

Waste of money - What a disaster of an experience. On arrival, the tour guide was late. We had to wait till he arrived. The business or office organisation had no structure. Bikes weren’t ready, theee was no one to set up bikes but lots of staff walking around. It felt like they were a new business was just starting. However the guide confirmed they had been operating for years. The tour was a total of 10kms over 4 hours. This tour could be done in 1.5 hrs.
