1.Private Self-Guided E-Bike Ride in Tuscany with Vineyard Visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 775 reviews · 4 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $96Our pick

Start with John at E-Bikes Florence, then follow a GPS route from Florence through Fiesole, olive groves, forest, and country roads to a boutique vineyard. You control the pace, stops, and time, with roadside help available. Expect hills, city traffic, and a rewarding wine and picnic stop.

“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!!!”

He was the ONLY one who was willing/able to rent me a gravel bike, despite many other bike rental companies listing gravel bikes on their websites! Everyone else tried to push me to use a hybrid or said unavailable, despite me knowing I wanted a gravel bike with drop bars. Cesare was responsive over text on Whatsapp, and had my bike ready at his shop. It was a great experience working with him.”
