Thank you, e-bike!
I was nervous going on the tour due to my current physical readiness (or lack thereof). Thankfully, I noticed that e-bikes were still available. It was easy to complete the tour on the e-bike. I was free to focus on the beauty of the Tuscan hills and surrounding vineyards. The guide was very informative and funny. Great tour!
Amazing bike tour through Tuscany!
As a frequent rider, naturally, I love bike tours when visiting other countries. This one was no exception. The ride was very easy and enjoyable, and the views of Florence were stunning! Our guide Antonio was hilarious at times and always very informative. A few uphill cycling brought a few relaxing descents as well - and the ride down is always therapeutic for me. All in all, a great experience and for me the best way to experience the Tuscan countryside.

THE TUSCAN COUNTRYSIDE
After the Porta Romana gate, you will encounter the first hill. On the top, you are awaited by your first view of a major landmark. The main landmark visible from this place is Villa del Poggio Imperiale, a Medici family villa and UNESCO World Heritage Site dating from the Middle Ages. From this point onwards, you will be in the Tuscan countryside so prepare your eyes for green fields and hills covered by vineyards, olive farms, and cypress trees.

Tuscany - focus of Italian culture
Tuscany had a significant influence on culture and art for the whole of Europe and, thus, the World. The city of Florence was the first European city to have pavements. The paving dates back to 1339 and was started due to the influence of wealthy merchants and bankers of the time. While the language on the Apennine peninsula historically was Latin, modern Italian was derived from a specific dialect spoken in Tuscany during the Renaissance period.
