The 6 best E-Bike Tours in Tuscany (with bike rental included)

The Argentario e-bike tour from Porto Santo Stefano, in the province of Grosseto, begins at 10:00 am. There you will meet the guide, who will hand over the mountain bikes and help you get ready for departure (rental is included in the price!).

Once you leave the center of town, you will start climbing the promontory of Monte Argentario, facing hairpin bend after hairpin bend until you reach a paved alley road that will lead you to the Capo d'Uomo tower, located 350 m above sea level.

The last part of the climb will require considerable effort, but the spectacular views of the coast below will repay the effort.

The route will continue through hairpin bends and dirt roads in the direction of Porto Ercole, a town that has been part of Italy's most beautiful villages since 2014. During the lunch break you will stop near Forte Stella, a 16th-century defensive fortification characterized by its distinctive shape.

In the afternoon you will cross the Orbetello Lagoon, which is a WWF oasis and an important habitat for many species of waterfowl, including the wonderful pink flamingos. You will return to Porto Santo Stefano at 3 p.m., having completed a 41-km route that includes quite challenging uphill and downhill sections.

For the classic Val d'Orcia bicycle tour, you will start from Pienza, and discover the typical and most characteristic landscapes of the Val d'Orcia near Siena. The bicycles that can be rented for this bike tour have pedal assist.

The tour starts from Pienza and continues to San Quirico and Bagno Vignoni, through the typical Tuscan hills. You will go to visit the heart of the Val d'Orcia natural park, a UNESCO heritage site.

There will also be a regular or vegetarian lunch box included in the price, which you can choose and which is delivered before departure.

You will receive everything you need to have the best possible experience on your own with your group of friends or family.

During the tour, you will pass through the beautiful yellow and green hills typical of Tuscany, flanked by vineyards, and pass through beautiful dirt roads near medieval villages in the midst of the magnificent colors of the Val d'Orcia.

The Val d'Orcia sunset and aperitif bike ride starts in Pienza and takes you to visit the heart of the region and the UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will cycle along beautiful hills and vineyards, and visit some ancient medieval villages.

Half Day - Full Day

E-bike rentals allow you to discover the Island of Elba from vantage points that are difficult to reach on foot or by car. Get direct advice on the best routes to follow to discover the island and enjoy the freedom of moving through nature. Duration can be half day (4h) or full day (7h).

Aperitour (Thursday)

The Aperitif Tour is conducted on Thursdays. You will leave for approximately 5:00 pm with a guide and return for approximately 8:30/21:00 pm. You will get to visit Elba Island in a completely different and more natural way. The dirt paths lead to old mines and deserted coves, in some of which you will be able to stop for a dip. An aperitif is prepared by the guide with typical products, usually near the mines, to enjoy the spectacular sunset from the cliffs.

Throughout the tour, when requested, the guide will also take fantastic photographs of you.
