I parked it during a Sunday evening near the Bargello in a bicycle parking rack along with 50 or so other bicycles, and less than two hours later the lock was cut and it was gone! When I showed the cut lock to the shop owner, his comment was "next time try chain" ... well, why didn't you offer me a "real" lock in the first place??? I think they give you this cheap lock because they know the bicycle will be stolen with it, and they don't have to buy it back!

Though it def helps to have motorcycle skills, as long as you can skillfully ride a bike, you should be ok. If not, pair up! I don't want to spoil anything i will leave the details for you to discover.. Main tips are make sure you book a spot, brush up on cycling skills and locate the business... it was hard to find for us. The address on the map took us to the wrong end of the block. Otherwise we enjoyed it thoroughly.

That's what I thought...until we arrived in Tuscany the day before and drove through the tiniest, windiest roads with local Italian drivers! So you can imagine how nervous I was when we checked into the store before the tour. I didn't want to cancel because it was something my husband and older son wanted to do. We met Mauricio and Alexa at the store. Both were really friendly and Alexa was straightforward with me. She warned me it would be the same conditions riding the vespa, as it was when we drove the day earlier. But she said they would assess our skills once we got to the location. After a 30 minute drive, we arrived at the beautiful Fattoria San Pancrazio. Here they took us on a short tour of the amazing wine process and cellars. I can't remember the name of our guide, but he was charming and friendly. Afterwards, Alexa and Mauricio took us to the driveway to take the driving test. No one in our 12 person group drove a Vespa before (or recently), so Alexa did a short demonstration. I, of course, didn't pass the 1st time but I was totally ok with it. The vespa is not easy to drivr at all. I definitely wouldn't be confident driving my younger son behind me. Out of the group, only 4 people passed as drivers. At no point was anyone upset or mad, in fact, I think we were all relieved to know that Alexa and Mauricio were looking out for our safety and those around us. They made arrangements for everyone to ride with another driver and then we we were off. I was paired up with Marco, one of the senior workers at San Pancrazio. He was amazing and I learned so much about his passion for the products they make. I was completely terrified the entire time, but he made me feel safe. We stopped for pictures halfway through and then made our way back for lunch. Lunch was simple but satisfying and we got to try some excellent wines. I even bought 2 bottles and a bottle of olive oil. Overall, I think this is an amazing experience that everyone should try. I don't understand the bad reviews regarding not being able to drive. The company is all about safety and they really care about the people on their tours. On our ride, there was an inpatient local truck and car tailing behind us. If you weren't condidently driving the vespa, someone could've gotten hurt. They are protecting you, as well as their livelihood! When I come back to Florence, I will definitely do another of their tours (just as long as I'm not driving the vespa myself lol). Thank you to the staff of Tuscany Cycle and Fattoria San Pancrazio for an unforgettable time.

If you're looking for a bike tour in Florence, I highly recommend Toscana by E-bike…read more My husband and I (62 & 61 yo) took a 30 minute bus ride from Florence to Montespertoli to get to the bike shop. The owner, Massimo, is absolutely the nicest man you will ever meet. Our guide, Valentina, was the best. She is very passionate about ecology and Tuscany. The included lunch in a local cafe was a highlight. The local cheese and meats were fabulous. The E-bikes were so nice in the rolling hills. You can also just rent bikes and do a self-guided tour. You must email them to arrange your ride; there is no on-line link on the website to reserve a trip. Massimo wants to arrange a trip just for you.

If you're looking for a truly authentic local experience in the countryside around Florence then…read moreyou must consider Toscana by Bike. Montespertoli is an ideal location from which to embark on a variety of destinations; day trips to Vinci, San Miniato, Via Francigena, San Gimignano, Certaldo, and downtown Florence are all accessible from the shop if you're interested in a full day of riding and exploring. Alternatively, for those looking for a shorter excursion (I would recommend at least 4 hours), the hills, castles, bakeries, wineries, and little restaurants/delis of the area in and around Montespertoli are second to none. On top of that, if you're lucky enough to be guided by the owner, Massimo, you'll be treated to a true Toscano whose knowledge of the area, combined with his hospitality and charm, are guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out if you're in the area!
