Magnifique journée en vélo électrique dans la région du Chianti. Des souvenirs innobliables: paysages à couper le souffle et repas avec dégustation de vin commentée dans un vignoble. Nous étions deux couples avec le guide alors pouvions allez à notre rythme. Une suggestion pour une prochaine fois: que les batteries des vélos soient rechargées durant le repas car la mienne était épuisée à la fin du parcours.

The tour was a lot of fun. It started in Badesse in a very well organized way. Tuscany is no problem with an e-bike. Our guide took us through several towns and the wine tasting was great. A beautiful, family-run winery. The other participants were also very nice and it was an all-round successful day.

Our guide Leo was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and helpful! The lunch was the best I have had in Italy so far! I highly recommend and would do again! The bikes were good.

Guide Matilda very friendly and pleasant, took us to beautiful places, all amazing! Unforgettable tour.

Fun time. Too much time spent in the wineries we visited.
