What an amazing tour. The best part was the tour guide Gieuseppe. He was funny, kind, and very knowledgeable about history, food, and wine. The ride through the countryside was much needed after spending two days in busy Florence. A great escape. Would recommend you get electric bikes. Very hilly.

A peaceful escape

The biking was fun but not too intense, and the countryside was breathtaking. Our guide was friendly and gave us just the right amount of info. The stop in the medieval village was a nice touch, and we enjoyed tasting the olive oil and wine at the end.
