I cannot recommend this group and Massimo’s tour strongly enough. I did not know what to expect at the beginning of the ride. I had heard great things from friends about this company, but to say that this three-day tour exceeded my expectations is a gross understatement. Massimo has everything planned out: lunches, unique stops, occasional shopping excursions, history lessons, and above all joy and humor. His accompanying guides are well versed in the geological, historical, and commercial significance of region and every stop along the way revealed incredible insight into the history, art, literature, and importance of the Tuscan landscape and its people. The lunch excursions at the various vineyards, often catered by his friends (because he knows everyone in the region- EVERYONE) are among the most memorable moments; however, I will never forget the stop at Certaldo where his team revealed that Boccaccio was buried in the church we were parked next to prompting Massimo to enthusiastically recite the first few lines of the Decameron. My friends and I are already planning the next trip.

Five of us did this magically beautiful eBike tour through the vineyards in the Tuscan countryside. The eBikes made it especially enjoyable. We were on quiet roads surrounded by castles, olive tree groves, and vineyards. Our lovely guide Valentina kept us “Gruppo Compatto” and shared with us her knowledge and history of the region. We stopped many times to take pictures, sample grapes (they were just about ready for harvest). Our final stop was at the family farm winery Podere Ghisone for lunch and wine tasting. Loved the wine so much that we had a case shipped home! The other details — we booked the tour via email correspondence with Massimo, the owner. We told him what we wanted to do and he suggested the guided bike tour to the family farm for lunch with a support van. The support van turned out to be perfect since we also purchased six bottles to share with each other while we are in Tuscany, and the van carried it back for us.

Toscana by Bike was, without a doubt, the best tour of any kind I’ve ever experienced. Massimo and his team of guides are incredibly caring, knowledgeable, entertaining, and trustworthy. Their passion for the region shines through every moment, and I can’t imagine exploring Tuscany any other way.
On this tour, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the culture, geography, and history of Tuscany, all while seeing sights that only a native can show you. You’ll meet local artisans who create world-class hand-crafted goods like wine, olive oil, produce, and ancient grain flour. And beyond the incredible beauty of the landscape, Massimo will take you to hidden spots with the most breathtaking views in the region.
The electric bikes are, without question, the best way to experience this extraordinary community. Each tour is custom-tailored to the group’s needs, ensuring a unique and personal experience.
I completely trust Massimo and his crew and have already recommended Toscana by Bike to friends and family. Choosing this tour was the best decision of our entire trip!

Massimo and Dario led my wife and I on an unforgettable Ebike tour in September that ended with a champagne toast under the Chianti sunset! The Ebike made it pretty effortless to go up and down the hills of Tuscany/Montespertoli. History (towns, churches, architecture, etc.) of the towns/area/vineyards was provided along the way as both Massimo and Dario were from/lived in the area. The local knowledge was wonderful. Lastly, we stopped at Podere Paglieri to enjoy some wine, cheese, olive oil and bread. This was capped with a champagne toast arranged with the help of Massimo and team.
Massimo and team also fit us into their schedule as the original reservation got rained out. They didn't want us to miss out on the special arrangements mentioned above! Then, Massimo knew it was our honeymoon so he gave us special olive oil that won #1 recently and was from the Montespertoli area. It was truly unforgettable. As Massimo said to my wife and I as he drove us home to our hotel, 'I don't speak English well so sometimes it is hard to communicate. But everyone understands when you speak from your heart.' And I don't think a better quote could have encapsulated our time. Plus - he spoke English just fine! Thanks, Massimo, Dario and team!

We did the 38 km bike ride, with a group of 10. This was the first time any of us had used an E-bike and it was great. They provided 2 guides, 1 in front and 1 in the back to make sure everyone stayed together. They also had a van accompany us, which worked out great to keep us supplied with water (it was hot).
The stops were just frequent enough to give us a break and enlighten us on some interesting Tuscany facts.
We thought we were stopping for a light lunch/snack but the meal and wines we got was more than expected and great.
I would recommend this company to anyone interested in seeing Tuscany from a different viewpoint.

Stunning scenery, magical sunset, fantastic wines, delicious dinner, great bikes and wonderful guides all in the one tour!! Our family of 2 middle aged parents and 3 young adult daughters joined Massimo and Dario on a sunset tour around Montespertoli that became the highlight of our European trip. Everything was so easy and well organised; from emailing Massimo, to being taught how to ride the bikes by Dario, to the water they packed in our side saddle, to powering up the hills with the turbo e-bike mode, to enjoying a delicious dinner as the sun set. We rode on quiet roads initially before turning off to gravel roads en route to an organic winery to wine taste before weaving our way off road through the vineyards. Finally we ended up enjoying a road side picnic on someone's front fence as we were mesmerised by the sun dipping below the Apuan Alps. Stunning!! The scenery was breathtaking and the guides were amazing. Massimo and Dario spoke great English and were so friendly and kind. None of us were experienced riders and two of us had minor injuries. But they gently encouraged us whilst giving us choices as to which route we could ride. Ultimately the two injured ones had to use the van following us for part of the tour. Over dinner Massimo told us that they liked to make guests feel like family; this was certainly achieved!! The tour was supposed to finish at 9pm but we did not get back until well after 10pm. Highly recommend Massimo and his team to anyone.

We had a family of seven riders - five adults of varying ages and two teenage boys, and we took a half day guided trip with a stop at a farm for lunch. This day was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany!
I booked the trip with Massimo beforehand (looked like a good idea for a day trip), and I have to say that the trip exceeded any and all expectations! Massimo was a pleasure to deal with and he had everything ready on arrival. He and Dario guided our family on a magical trip through the Tuscan countryside. We stopped from time to time and they gave us some historical background on each stop. At about 8 km from the end we stopped at a local farm/winery for a delicious home cooked meal and some wine tasting. The lunch was fabulous and the family we met were wonderful!!
Everyone in the family raved about the ride. I would highly recommend this to folks looking to get out in the country and see what Tuscany is like outside the cities and towns. Massimo has a special passion for biking and his beautiful countryside, and anyone that takes a tour will be amazed!

This ebike trip was reccomended to my wife and I by our hosts from Villa la Capella where we stayed. I must say that even with 34 degrees celsius outside this trip was amazing. We spent probably 7hours with Massimo’s son Jacopo that was our perfect travel guide full of knowledge. We cruised through the wineyards, stopped for lunch, tasted local wines and perfect Tuscan food, in addition we booked wineceller visit in the local castle.
I really recommend the tour if you are comming to the heart of Tuscany to get new experiences.
Thank you Jacopo, Massimo and the team. You have a heart on the right place.I hope we will come back soon, maybe even for few days tour that you recommended cruising to the coast.

Our one-day bike tour with Toscana by Bike was a day to remember. We opted for the guided ebike tour with Valentina in the lead and Massimo in the chase van. We included the longer route (not long by our standards) and the lunch stop at the vineyard. I would highly recommend those choices.
We have been on more than a dozen bike tours with several different well-known guiding companies and this day stands out as one of the best. The combination of ebikes, wider tires, and carefully vetted route allowed us to experience the scenic backroads that gave us a special Tuscany experience. We pedaled through farms and vineyards, to villas and a castle, through small villages, and along ridges with beautiful vistas. The lunch and wine sampling stop was lovely and delicious. And everyone we encountered was helpful and wonderfully thoughtful. For instance, at several intersections Massimo directed traffic for us.
This day was a highlight of our trip to Florence and Tuscany. We are grateful to the Toscana by Bike team for making it a memory of a lifetime.

Absolutely sensational! A perfect day paired with amazing hosts in both Massimo and Dario made even better with great weather and a fun and challenging day navigating the Tuscan hillsides easily managed with the ‘turbo’ function on the e-bike. Highly recommend to those chasing an authentic tour through the beautiful Tucson country.
Topped off with a wine tasting and beautiful lunch at Castello Di Oliveto!

Hi there, Did you have overnights included into your bike tour? We want to do 4 or 5 nights in Tuscany on a bike trip. Do they move luggage from hotel to hotel each day for you? What did it cost?
Written February 10, 2020
This place is a bike shop, so the tours are only during the day. I am not the owner of the shop I am the one that took the tour.
Highly recommended though.

Hi! We should have ebikes available, but to be sure, you might want to make a reservation. Just send us an email with your heights, telephone number dates you would like to have the ebikes for. We do ask a 30% down payment. However, if you prefer to not book, this should be fine just the same, but we can not guarantee it if we get many requests. Thanks and best wishes, Massimo

Hi Suzanne,
thanks for contacting us! I am not allowed to write the link to our website unfortunately ...
Sorry for the late reply, but I only received a message about your question now.
We are certainly available on Sundays. Our rates are Euro 35 per ebike and with 8 people you get a 10% discount. Therefore the total price will be, for a full day, Euro 252 (for 8 ebikes). On our website you can find itineraries that you can download to your smartphone onto to app where you have an interactive map without data roaming, so free.
Hope you can find it it is the name of the company and followed by it.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,

Unfortunately, we don't. We simply have our bike shop with all the e-bikes in it. However, we can find you a room like that in Montespertoli. Do let me know for when you would need it?
