Self-Guided Half-Day Bike Tour – Discover the Hills of Florence at Your Own Pace 🚴‍♀️

Take a break from the city and ride into the peaceful Tuscan countryside with our most popular self-guided bike tour. Designed for those who love freedom and flexibility, this experience lets you explore Florence’s hills, quiet backroads, and scenic villages at your own rhythm.

You’ll start from our office in the charming Oltrarno district, one of Florence’s most authentic neighborhoods. After a quick briefing, we’ll provide everything you need for a smooth and fun ride: a 27-gear quality touring bike, helmet, phone holder, and a custom digital map packed with insider tips.
The map includes turn-by-turn navigation plus suggestions for the best local cafés, and scenic viewpoints — all easy to follow from your phone.

Leaving the city behind, you’ll ride through Porta Romana, one of Florence’s original medieval gates, before climbing gently into the green hills. The route winds through peaceful residential areas and ancient cypress-lined roads, opening up to stunning views of the Tuscan countryside.

Along the way, you’ll find optional local stops we’ve selected for you. On your way back, don’t miss the breathtaking panorama from San Miniato al Monte, one of the city’s highest and most iconic viewpoints — the perfect place for a photo and a deep breath before descending back into Florence.

The ride ends with a sweet reward: a gelato at one of our favorite spots, right near our office (we’ll mark it on your map!).

This self-guided adventure is a refreshing escape from the crowds — an authentic way to connect with the beauty, history, and flavors of Tuscany on your own terms.
