About this tour
Pedal through rolling Tuscan hills on a modern e-bike, exploring San Gimignano and the medieval Via Francigena trade route. This seven-hour rental gives you genuine autonomy across the countryside—the motorised assistance handles the steep gradients, so you cover serious ground without burning out. You'll see Vernaccia wine country from the saddle, following dirt tracks and quiet roads that larger tour groups skip.

- Navigate the historic Via Francigena pilgrimage route by bike
- Tackle Tuscan hills without fighting gradient

What to expect
You'll collect your e-bike, get a brief orientation on the assist modes, then set off into open countryside. The landscape alternates between dense cypress groves, ploughed fields and neat vineyard rows. Expect some genuine climbs—the e-assist takes the sting out but you're still pedalling. You'll have seven hours to ramble, so there's no rigid itinerary; most riders cover 40–50 km at a relaxed pace, stopping at viewpoints or small hamlets. Roads are mixed: some sealed, some gravel. It's self-directed exploration rather than a guided tour.
Good to know
No hotel pickup included; use public transport or arrange separate transport to the rental point. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns. Infants travel in a specialised seat or pram attachment. Small dogs fit in a cargo cart. The battery easily handles a full day's riding at moderate pace.
