“This is for people comfortable on an ebike and biking on roads. You also need to be comfortable following a GOS map while biking. Given all that… this was probably our favorite activity in Florence! It was great to get into the country side and we loved going at our own pace and stopping wherever we wanted! The views were amazing. The winery was wonderful with some of the best food we had while in Florence! If you like to tour by bike you will love this!!!”
