We did the sunset tour from Fiesole to Florence. It's a mostly downhill ride through picturesque countryside. Giovanni was a great guide who gave us lots of local information and answered our many questions. A perfect end to the day. We are a couple in our 50s, moderate fitness and could manage the distance. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out in the Tuscan countryside.

Highlights

Enjoy a scenic bike ride from up in the hills back to the centre of Florence

Admire great views of both the countryside and Florence

Description

Fiesole is just a short bus ride from the centre of Florence (20 minutes). It’s definitely worth it for an afternoon of cycling back to the city.

After walking around the beautiful hills of Fiesole and admiring the superb views, this bike tour will take you through the picturesque countryside surrounding Florence.

It’s mostly a downhill ride and a perfect way to end a day. It’s such a satisfying experience to leave the bustle of Florence behind, immerse oneself in the beautiful nature and return when the busy city is slowing down.

This is a very friendly and relaxed tour. Highly recommended in the summer!

The route is 14 miles with an elevation gain of just 295 feet. Please note that this is a one-way itinerary.

Great bike ride with beautiful views!!
We rode the sunset excursion during a recent vacation to Florence. Local tour guide and outdoor enthusiast Giovanni led a wonderful ride from Fiesole to Florence. The views were magnificent and the biking was a good workout. This was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Thanks, Giovanni!!
