Florence: Tuscan Hills E-Bike Tour with Olive Oil Tasting

Florence: Tuscan Hills E-Bike Tour with Olive Oil Tasting

Looking for a genuine Tuscan experience beyond the tourist trail? Join us for a scenic e-bike ride through the Florentine hills — a perfect blend of nature, culture, and flavour. Since 1993, we’ve been offering small-group tours with a personal touch, designed for curious travellers who prefer quality over “fast-food” style sightseeing. With us, it’s all about meaningful, slow travel and niche experiences you won’t find anywhere else. We’ll begin in Florence’s quiet Oltrarno district, where your local guide will welcome you and set you up with your electric bike and helmet. After a short intro, we’ll start riding! Thanks to the e-bikes, the ride is smooth and easy, even as we climb the gentle hills outside Florence. We will ride for around 10 minutes in the noble Florence suburbs of Poggio Imperiale (expect a bit of traffic - it depends on the day!) to be able to reach the quiet countryside. Here, we'll cycle along peaceful, narrow Tuscan roads surrounded by olive groves, pines, and cypress trees. The views of Florence and the surrounding countryside from here are unforgettable! One highlight of our route is a visit to Pian dei Giullari, a quaint village that was once home to Galileo Galilei. We’ll also stop at San Miniato al Monte, one of the most beautiful churches in Florence, offering panoramic views over the entire city — a true hidden gem. Midway through the ride, we’ll stop at a lovely countryside venue and family-run restaurant nestled among olive trees and gardens. Here, you’ll get a firsthand look at how they produce their high-quality extra virgin olive oil — all hand-harvested and made on-site. Of course, you’ll get to taste it too, drizzled over freshly baked Tuscan bread. It’s a simple moment, but one guests often call the highlight of their Italian vacation. Please note: On Mondays, the farm is closed — but we’ve got you covered! Instead, we’ll stop for a delicious artisan gelato or a classic Italian breakfast at a local pastry shop, depending on availability. This is more than just a bike tour — it’s a relaxing, immersive experience guided by locals who love what they do. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, this half-day adventure offers a perfect balance of activity, culture, and culinary delight. Let us show you the real Tuscany — one peaceful road, one olive tree, and one delicious bite at a time.

I decided to do this tour last minute and I’m so glad I did! Ali was a great host, and is very knowledgeable about Italian history. The van was comfortable and air conditioned, and the spots we visited had stunning views as promised, with plenty of time to take photos. Highly recommend!

It was great but Florence police are thieves of highest order. Such a great city does not deserve such bad and corrupt public officials. The bus inspector on one of the public buses took a bribe from us by misleading us

The fact it was 2 different lines & Line A went up to Fiesole so we saw two hilltop views over Florence. We timed it to be in Fiesole for 2 hrs & have lunch. Perfect.
