2.Private Self-Guided E-Bike Ride in Tuscany with Vineyard Visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 775 reviews · 4 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $96Top rated

Set out from central Florence on a self-guided e-bike route to Fiesole, olive groves, and a family-run vineyard near the Arno. John sets up your bike, helmet, and GPS route, then you ride at your own pace, stopping for coffee, wine, food, and views before returning via Piazzale Michelangelo.

“We took our 3 teens on this adventure and we all had a blast. 3 of my family members race mountain bikes so it was easy for them. My daughter and I had never been on an E-bike before so needed to get use to how heavy the bike was. The ride starts and ends in the city so you have to do a lot of starting and stopping and maneuvering around people and traffic. Once you are out of the city, it is a fantastic way to see the countryside. John was great to work with and the map was super easy to follow. Definitely stop at the winery.…”

3.Discover Valpolicella Vineyards and Wine Tasting Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 341 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Visit Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde in Marano di Valpolicella with guides such as Giovanni, Claudia, Ilaria, and Jacopo. Walk through the vines, see the 17th-century cellar and grape-drying room, then taste Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone, olive oil, cheese, and salami. Confirm transport details before booking.

“Claudia was super knowledgable and friendly. 3 gorgeous wines were tried along with plenty of bread, local olive oil & meats + cheese. Beautiful view and great tour. Be aware the shuttle will be €100 shared between people so if you’re the only people on it can be more expensive (you’ll be informed beforehand). A taxi is expensive & public transport is quite lengthy!”
