Take 2 on reviewing E-Bikes Florence. My first review was rejected by TripAdvisor due to me inadvertently writing a duplicate review under my gmail login (now deleted). Jon, owner of E-Bikes Florence is a great guy. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. Jon was very accommodating to our large group of 12 from Wisconsin. He provided us with an interactive presentation regarding the route, assisting some of the "technologically challenged" in our group with the downloading of the Maps.ME app/maps. His bikes are well maintained and top quality. The scenery on the route is spectacular. We stopped in the small town of Fiesole for some refreshments in the town square. I highly recommend a bottle of Birra Moretti from the food cart. For those who want a challenge take a ride up to the convent. Our second stop was at the Fattoria DI Poggiopiano vineyard. We took an hour break to drink a few bottles of wine and eat some delicious snacks. The E-Bikes create a very comfortable, easy ride. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is moderately fit. The trip back into Florence was simple to navigate, but you do need to watch cross traffic as you cross streets back to the bike shop. Thank you Jon for a fabulous tour of Tuscany!

Such a fun trip through the gorgeous small towns surrounding Florence. John at the shop was kind and funny (and has a lovely Scottish accent), and even road out to where we all were riding during the tour to make sure we all were OK. My husband needed more air in one tire and he jumped right into action with a pump he'd brought. The vineyard was stunning- and the beautiful young woman who greeted us was exceptional. We were lucky to have picture perfect weather at the end of October. Some of the hills and directions were a little challenging (even with an E- bike and map app), but certainly doable. You definitely had to pay attention when riding in and out of the city, and on the small country roads, so you just need to be comfortable on a bike and have ridden an E- Bike before. Having said all that, we highly recommend this self guided tour!

One of the highlights of our trip was this bike tour. John did a great job of explaining where we need to go… The route is picturesque and easy to follow, provided you pay attention to the briefing. We enjoyed the stop for lunch and we’ll put that on our itinerary on our next visit.

This is a great bike ride! John did an excellent job in getting us setup and went through the route in great detail. He has planned out an awesome bike path, through the vineyards and with some great views of Florence and the area. The winery is just an added treat to an already great experience.

We had a wonderful time on our e-bike self guided tour. We loved escaping the busy city for the countryside. The app was easy to follow and the bikes were powerful enough to take the hard work out of the hills. We stopped in a little village for an espresso and continued to the winery for some local wine and nibbles. We didn't want the ride to end! Don't do this ride if you aren't confident on a bike or have e-bike experience.
