Climbing once again, you can admire the magnificent Romanesque basilica of San Miniato al Monte.
- Basilica San Miniato al Monte - San Miniato is one of the most beautiful Basilicas in Florence, standing atop one of the highest points in the city, from where to enjoy a breathtaking view on the whole Town.
- Villa Pian dei Giullari - It is a small and charming village built along the road that went to Impruneta, which has remained practically unchanged over time.

Best way to see the countryside! - It was a very nice relaxing tour! The countryside was beautiful and seeing Firenze from another angle was spectacular! Our electric bikes were in excellent condition. Our tour guide Gaberial was very informative and sweet, and took extra precautions for our safety. A water bottle was offered and also accommodations to leave our bag/purse. I highly recommend this tour!

The best way to experience Florence - Absolutely the best way to see Florence. I was a little nervous as I haven’t ridden a bike in 20 years and am not in perfect shape, but it was so easy getting up the hill, and our guide was wonderful. Would highly recommend it.

Super fun and beautiful - This was a total blast. Our tour guide Andrea made it fun, safe, and informative. In the 2 hour ride you get to go up the Tuscan hills behind Florence and see the beauty of the city from above and take great pictures. Then you continue up to a church and more panoramic views of the Tuscan hills. 2 hours goes by too fast. The gelato tasting is actually a gift card for a place a couple blocks away for a free scoop. We really enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend. The E-bike option is a must due to the steep hills, which you don’t feel at all with the electric bike.

Beautiful option to see Florence. - We had never been on e-bikes and this tour was a blast! Andreas was a wonderful guide. He led us safely out of Florence past many beautiful monuments. We topped out on a hill overlooking the country side. The bikes were great and the shop owner was very thorough in explaining how they worked. We chose the lunch option and the lunch spot was right next door and delicious. We would highly recommend this tour.

Terrible - We thought you were located from your advertisement in Nice and we paid then found out you were in Florence. Extremely disappointed. Did not even get to use our ticket
