Beautuful ride in the countryside with views! - Our guide Paolo was amazing. The bikes were first rate and the tour was beautiful. We learned a lot and it was nice to get out into the hills outside of Florence for a little quiet and beauty. And lots of history. The view from piazza Michelangelo was amazing and we didn’t have to walk or fight the traffic!

Not sure our old bodies... - Not sure our old bodies could handler the hills of Florence, but the E-bike made the trip very enjoyable. Able to see the hills outside of Florence in all of its beauty. Guide was knowledgeable and made the trip fun.

Florence Highlight - An extremely memorable experience. Seeing and learning about a different part of Florence that was unlikely we would have seen otherwise was the highlight of this tour. Coupled with a great guide, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Florence.

Great ride with beautiful scenery - Wonderful bike ride! The equipment was in good shape and Gabriel was fun and very informative. Getting out of the Florence traffic was a little scary but once you get on the bike path it is free sailing. I had never used an e-bike so ok for beginners too! I would recommend this excursion for sure!

Best views of Florence and the surround area - The views were absolutely amazing we saw a side of Florence which can’t be seen unless on a bicycle. Even better than that was the knowledge shared of the history of Italy, Florence, and the trees and bushes, he even picked us some capers. The quality of the bikes helped to make us feel totally comfortable
