Traveler reviews
Wonderful bike trip
Had a great time with our guide, Victoria with CiaoFlorence. This is a great outing for experienced bike riders. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with physical challenges or to novice bike riders. The road surfaces were uneven and the hills and curves required good coordination and at least a decent knowledge of bike riding. The scenery was beautiful and the route was fun.
Favorite Family Experience in Florence
Our favorite activity for our 5 days in Florence! We are an active family of 5 (including 3 teens). We love to do unique things. We did this tour our first full day in Florence, and it was perfect for us. A great ride into the hills, great wine and olive oil tasting, and finished with a ride along the Arno. A great value for a great bike ride!
Had a fantastic ride with...
Had a fantastic ride with our guide Marco! Only had a ride in the city for 2 km or so and then got into very quiet roads through rolling Hills with hardly a car in sight beautiful views of Florence. I highly recommend Marco.
Beautiful hilly ride through the countryside.
The ride is beautiful through the countryside with wonderful views of Florence from a hilltop town. The Olive Grover is very nice and informative, but note that this is where they grow the olives, not where they process the oil. We still enjoyed it very much. The E bikes were in good condition, except a few were missing chain guards, which cause bike oil to get on our pants. I let the tour operator know. Also, our tour guide was pleasant, but a little quiet and I feel it could’ve made the experience much better with some enthusiasm and education along the way. If you are new to riding, be aware that you do ride through the busy city for a little while, and the climb is quite big. Be sure to use turbo mode up the big hills, which our guide discouraged, but it was necessary for some in my party. They had a great time which they used a higher pedal assist, and it kept the group together.
Highly recommend
amazing guided tour outside of busy city. No touristic soors, amazing Pasticceria we visited and magical olive farm. The ride is in overall easy and you can enjoy beautiful landscapes and panoramas
