Overview

Join this amazing and fun full-day bike ride in the Tuscan Hills, with a visit to a farm nestled in the countryside! Taste an excellent local wine and their Extra Virgin Olive Oil, along with a delicious Tuscan lunch.

We'll start from the convenient and quiet "Oltrarno" area of Florence, and avoid trafficked roads to quickly reach the countryside. There are going to be some uphills, so get ready for a workout - or request for an E-bike (the sooner you ask the better, as we have a limited supply).
There will be plenty of panoramic stops to take great photos and learn about local life and nature from our knowledgeable guide.
You will witness an amazing high-end Tuscan lunch, with homemade bread, cold cuts, pasta, wine, and handmade olive oil, in an amazing countryside setting.

Depending on the time of the year, you will have the chance to see the harvesting of the olives from the trees. This is the real Tuscan experience you want to have!

The ride was fun, the views were incredible and the lunch was some of the best we’ve had in Italy. I would definitely recommend at least some bike riding experience and unless you’re an experienced and conditioned rider, get the e-bike.

Every moment of this tour exceeded was spectacular. We couldn't believe the beauty of the Tuscan Hills! Our tour guide was safe, friendly, and cared for us personally, while sharing wonderful stories of the art, history, and culture of the region. He also shared his personal stories of growing up near Florence. Visiting the winery, we were treated like royalty, with amazing food and wine brought to us by a warm host in a stunning vineyard setting.

I bike Italy review We just came back from a full day bike tour with Jacopo, and it was a wonderful experience. My husband and I did this bike tour on a honeymoon in 2006, and this time we brought our 9 and 13 year old sons. We all loved it. The route was totally different this time, and it was even better because we wound our way through parks and all kinds of beautiful, scenic places. Jacopo was a great tour guide- supporting me when I struggled up a hill, taking the lead to make sure we weren’t lost, answering my son’s millions of questions and listening to his stories with all sorts of patience. He also was a wealth of knowledge from the history of Florence to the trees to the making of olive oil and Chianti. We learned all kinds of cool things and had a whole new perspective on the Ponte Vecchio. If you want an excellent physical adventure to get you away from the crowds in Florence, I highly recommend We Like Tuscany/ I Bike Italy. If you want an adventure and to get away from the crowds, but you can’t ride up hills, try their e-bike tour. I’m sure that’s great too. For the record, I mostly ride on flat ground at home, so I found the hills challenging, but the bikes were excellent- really lightweight and the gears were easy to switch. It made it really easy. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Florence is magical and this was the best way to see it up close. Riding through the beautiful neighborhoods and seeing the villas with their spectacular views is brilliant. Our lunch was delicious with amazing olive oil, fresh pasta, and of course, delicious wine. The visit to the olive groves was a perfect way to finish the day. Special thanks for the opportunity to tour the residence and gardens. We highly recommend this experience, especially if you are fortunate to have Federica as your guide. Her stories and knowledge of the area made the day very special. She is exceptional.
