We were in Florence for four days and decided to go on the E Bike tour, which took us over the Arno River and into the outskirts of the city and up through the scenic hills of Tuscany overlooking the city. For someone who is okay at riding bikes, the ebikes were very easy to use. Once beginning to pedal up the hills, you turn on the electronic support settings that range from eco to turbo (most of the time I used tour or sport modes, which give the best balance of added power), and effortless ride and enjoy the views.
From beginning to end, the entire experience was perfect. Alessandro gave a full overview of how to use the bikes safely and efficiently, and from there, we toured an incredible route over the course of over 3 hours ending just after sunset. We made a few stops along the way to learn the background and history behind many of the buildings and landmarks visible from our vantage points, while also taking in surreal views of the city and landscapes.
Coming back down the hills and back into the city at sunset was the perfect end to the tour, so I would highly suggest booking late afternoon (4pm or 5pm) to catch the sunset.
