TUSCAN HILLTOP VILLAGES: VISITING THEM RIDING AN E-BIKE IS A MUST!
Visit with us the most beautiful Tuscan locations on board of an e-bike.
With your private guide you will visit a series of charming and absolutely non-touristy hilltop hamlets and little towns. We will select for you the best panoramic and scenic routes.
An activity for all, no need to be a biking champion. You just need to know how to ride a bike: as simple as that!
OUTLINE OF TOUR:
- E-bike rental for 4/5 hours starting from our main office in La Rosa, Terricciola, by Peccioli, in the Pisa area. Helms are obligatory and provided with the rental.
- An original, scenic and safe route across a hilly farmland of central Tuscany called Terre di Pisa. The area is characterized by picturesque small villages, castles and rural hamlets joined by beautiful country roads, both paved and gravel ones, bordered by lines of cypress trees.
- A private English speaking e-biking tour guide will be at your disposal for the whole time of the tour. The guide will introduce you to the beauty of our area with a particular focus on the history of the initial rural settlements, their development into villages and hamlets and the habits of the current inhabitants. This tour is available in German, Russian, Spanish, French or Italian with no surcharge.
THE ROUTE AND THE FOOD:
- We start this great tour from our premises in La Rosa, Terricciola, between Pontedera and Volterra.
- The first stop is the tiny village of Montecchio, a small medieval hamlet where only less then 50 people are living. Eventually it will be possible to visit the little church.
- Along a spectacular road with beautiful panoramas we will pass through the villages of Fabbrica and Montelopio;
- The next stop will be the village of Ghizzano, a stunning hamlet where a whole street was transformed into an artwork: we will bike right through it!
- The last stop of our tour will be the village of Peccioli, recently awarded with the price “Borgo dei Borghi 2024” which means the most beautiful village of Italy. After a visit to the town we will have a light lunch at a local bistrot in town;

E-BIKE RENTAL:

LICENSE REQUIRED:

EXPERIENCE ON BIKES IS REQUIRED - THIS TOUR IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS:
Before booking this tour it is essential for you to understand that the tour is addressed to people who have previous experience in riding regular bikes (city bikes, mountain bikes). If you never rode a bike before, it is impossible for you to be able to ride it along the routes that the guide selects. Every tour starts with a 15-20 minute practice that is necessary for the rider to get confident with the bike, especially in order to understand how brakes, electric engine and gear work. The time for the practice is absolutely not enough to learn how to ride a bike, for which people might need long hours or even days. So we need to make sure that you are already familiar with riding a normal bike, and the tour will not be your first occasion to ride. This is a necessary prerequisite for safety reasons and for guaranteeing a pleasant tour to you and the other participants in your party.
If you are not able to ride a bike properly on the day of the tour, the guide can refuse to give the tour and you are not entitled to a refund.
CHILD FRIENDLY:
Ideal for children. Children might ride their own bike or sit on special seats with their parents.
CLOTHING:
No flip-flops but shoes or closed sandals required. It is advisable to wear trousers and not shorts and depending on the season it is recommended to bring a light jacket or a wind jacket.
FOOD RESTRICTIONS:
The foods served during this tour might contain gluten, lactose, nuts and alcohol. If you have any food restriction, please inform our personnel during the enquiry process.
TRANSPORTATION:
This program and its rates do not include transportation to the meeting point and are set on a self-driving base. For further information see the box "transportation options".
The meeting point where this activity starts is in an area in the rural Tuscany that is not easy to reach by public trasport. We highly recommend renting a car to reach it. As an alternative, we can offer a valued service by chauffeured car, van or minibus. Any cost of transportation is to be added to the rates displayed on the rate table of this page.
