Major league hills, many dirt roads, that are easily scaled by the E-bike...however caution must still be taken as many roads are very narrow and you will be competing with traffic in a few areas. Getting out of the city is a bit tricky but once your through the navigation is pretty intuitive with the map provided and running on a GPS AP from your mobile phone. Bring an extra battery for your phone as the GPS pulls a lot of power. Enjoy lunch in the town of Fiesole and a swim in the pool at the vineyard...that was a major highlight as we were in the midst of heat wave. The Owner and Magician - John - at Ebikes is the friendliest and most helpful person you can ever meet. We had an issue with a bike in Fiesole and John was there in 1/2 hr to repair...he road to us on his own bike and was un-phased by the issue as he greeted us with a smile! Saddle bags provided to carry extra stuff...like plenty of water bottles, camara and bathing suit. ....Enjoy a glass of Vino poolside and dream of the days highlights. Bravo EBIKES !!!!

In two hours I learned more and saw more than I can ever see on my own. It was such a great experience that me and my three travel companions asked her if we could jump on her afternoon tour of the Accademia. She called the company for us, confirmed we could get tickets and get in, and chatted with us for a while. I was so impressed that any obscure question we asked her she had he answer to. She is incredibly smart. The tour is done with her speaking through an earphone but she consistently checks in to make sure everyone can see and hear. She answers questions, knows interesting facts about the city, and is fluent in three languages including English. I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone at this company was kind and helpful. I was sad to see that there were any poor reviews on here because I could not disagree more. Genuinely, this tour experience made my trip to Florence complete.

The group met up at the shop in the afternoon. Took a van to a castle to pick up helmets and do a tiny bit of wine tasting + olive oil tasting. Then another van ride to pick up the Vespas. We practice driving in the parking lot a few rounds - even the beginner in the group got the hang of it pretty quickly. Then off to hours of scenic riding in the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside amongst giant swaths of rolling vineyards, stony castles, and groves of olive trees with screeching cicadas. Periodically we'd stop for photos and once also a water break. Jason was super knowledgeable and answered all kinds of questions we threw in his direction. I thought it was cool to hear his perspective as someone who moved there 10 years ago who knew all the local stuff but also had an outside view of the history and culture etc. I only wish I had some Euros so I could have given him a tip. The tour felt extremely safe. Can't-miss experience and definitely one of the most memorable and surreal parts of my Italy trip.

Never one to put all my eggs in one basket, I also booked two other tours with competing tour guides in Florence. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would 100% use Florence Custom Tours for everything: food tour, museums, artisan shops, etc.. Scheduling the tour via email was easy and they even helped me modify one of their classic tours so my family and I could explore the city on our own terms. Our guide (Chiara) met us near our rented apartment and within a few feet started teaching us about hidden gems in the neighborhood that we had walked past dozens of times unnoticed. She was extremely knowledgable, courteous, patient, and also a "foodie" (Chiara helped mix in some delicious eats between our visits to the Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia). I would highly recommend Florence Custom Tours to anyone visiting this wonderful city and I will definitely be using them again upon my return.
