Important Details

Your Tuscan adventure begins at the bike office in via del Campuccio, located in Oltrarno, a local neighborhood within Florence. After meeting your friendly guide and intimate group of fellow travelers, it will be time to hop on your bike and let the journey begin!

Cruise from the bustling streets of Florence into Tuscany’s majestic countryside. Ride along ancient roads as you admire enchanting olive groves and wine vineyards, along with the classic backdrop of Tuscany’s rolling hills. Next, pedal your way to a medieval village where Galileo once lived, and then visit San Miniato al Monte church for a jaw-dropping view of Florence.

Finally, take in the view as you’re led to a sophisticated countryside venue and farm. Enjoy a tour of the property, admiring their olive trees while learning all about their handpicked extra virgin olive oil. At the end of your visit, you’ll be treated to a decadent olive oil tasting, which will be paired with their handmade bread, honey, cold cuts, and local wine.

After your tasting, you will hop on your bike one last time and follow your guide back to Oltrarno. Once you drop off your bike and helmet, you are free to continue exploring this lively neighborhood at your leisure.

Hop on Your Bike

To begin cruising your way through the Tuscan countryside, head to via del Campuccio in Oltrarno, a local neighborhood in Florence. Your professional guide will meet you outside of their office, along with your group of fellow cycle-loving travelers! Only 12 people at most will be on your tour, so it will be a wonderfully intimate and personalized experience.

Once your helpful guide has set everyone up with their bikes, strap on your helmet and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!

Cruise Though Tuscany’s Countryside

While your tour begins by zipping through the enchanting streets of Florence, the landscape will soon transform into a magnificent countryside setting.

Following your expert guide, you will soon be led to an idyllic village where Galileo once lived! Learn about the history of this small town as you continue riding along Tuscany’s ancient countryside roads.

Admire Sweeping Views of Florence

Next, continue cruising past Tuscany’s breathtaking scenery as your knowledgeable guide brings you to the San Miniato al Monte church. From this hilltop church, take in an unparalleled view of Florence’s cityscape. Because this magical spot is not well known by tourists, you’ll have this awe-inspiring view almost all to yourself!

Sample Tuscan Delicacies

Finally, hop back on your bike for one last, unforgettable stop. After zipping through Tuscany’s verdant landscape, you will arrive at an elegant, countryside venue, which also contains a charming olive orchard and vegetable garden. You’ll have the opportunity to stroll by their beautiful olive trees while learning about their handpicked extra virgin olive oil.

Following your tour of the property, you will be treated to a mouthwatering tasting of their flavorful oil, paired with homemade bread, honey, cold cuts, and a glass of Chianti wine! Cheers with your newfound friends to a wonderful ride through Tuscany!

Return to Oltrarno

Following your delightful tasting, it’s time for one last ride as you make your way back to Florence. Take in the sights as you’re led past Tuscany’s rural beauty and into Florence’s stunning cityscape. Once you’ve dropped your bikes and helmets back in Oltrarno, you’re welcome to explore this lively, less-touristy neighborhood for as long as you’d like!

This wasn’t the tour I was expecting. I thought it would be biking and wine tasting. There was a great bike ride interspersed w history lessons overlooking beautiful views of the city and countryside. And we stopped at one place for lunch and a glass of wine. It was an amazing tour and the guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. Loved it but also not what I thought we were doing. Perhaps less wine was a safer way to ride bikes on hilly cobblestones!
