Top 3 Self-Guided Tours

1.E-bike Tuscany and Chianti Self-Guided Tour with Vineyard Visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $42Our pick

Set out from Florence with an e-bike, helmet, water bottle, phone holder, and GPS route. Ride through Bellosguardo, Certosa, Chianti, and San Casciano, with time for Machiavelli’s former home, a farm lunch, and Piazzale Michelangelo. You choose the pace, stops, and food.

“The self-guided bike tour was amazing! Riding through vineyards and olive groves. Breathtaking views of rolling tuscan hills, ancient walls, and beautiful villas. We went at our own pace, and did the extra part after lunch. Get an e-bike because there are lots of hills. Pay close attention to the map. It is well done and relatively easy to follow while riding. If you prefer a human guide, they are also excellent.”
