Breathe, pedal and find peace in one of the most fascinating places in the world
Discover the Tuscan countryside on an e-bike, take part in a guided tour through the Chianti hills, learn about the history and taste local products. You will take home a special memory of this wonderful place.
I will tell you the story of these places, the artists and the people who have made this area great in the world thanks to their work. I hope you discover this wonderful corner of Tuscany where I am lucky enough to live.
The tour takes place by bike in the area of Semifonte, the ancient town located on a plateau overlooking the Val d’Elsa and the Chianti hills.
I am Manuele Haisek, an authorized cycling guide. I love exploring this corner of Tuscany and painting watercolors when I'm not out and about with Pippo, my four-legged friend 🐶
This tour offers the opportunity to spend a pleasant morning or afternoon cycling through the hills of Tuscany on paved roads and cycle paths. With an e-bike, the route is easily manageable even for inexperienced cyclists. An authorized MTB guide is always available to guide you safely and support you during the ride.

Wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes as if you were going for a run. Avoid cotton T-shirts, they get wet easily and there is a risk of catching a stitch from the wind. I recommend shorts and a merino wool T-shirt or technical clothing that dries easily. A raincoat can be useful in the rain.
We will cover between 15 and 25 km, depending on the physical preparation of the group, the weather conditions and other variables such as possible breaks. Your guide will plan the route for you so that you have the best possible experience. The whole experience takes about 4/5 hours.
You don't need to be trained, because with an e-bike you can climb even the toughest slopes without any problems. You do need to know how to ride a bike and be familiar with brakes and gears. Before setting off, you will receive instruction on safety and handling the bike.
We will meet in Semifonte or at the bike shop closest to you but if you wish, we can come directly to your home with the bikes and organize an ad hoc tour in your area.
