About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- jhens202120210 contributionsOutstanding self-guided tour of Tuscany with the family!Michele set us up with an awesome day on e-bikes in Tuscany. My wife, 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter, and I each had our own bikes and fit to size. The map was excellent and the roads were perfect for e-bikes. We stopped in Montechiello for lunch and enjoyed the beautiful village before making our way back to Urban Bikery taking in the iconic Tuscan countryside. Beautiful day and exceeded our expectations. Easily one of the highlights of our 10 days in Italy!! Don’t think twice- UB is the way to go!Written 12 October 2024
- MissSwissJ0 contributionsNot for beginners!We loved this wonderful bike ride thru the hills of Tuscany! Even though we had the luxury of the e-bike, the ride was quite intense. The route included some serious hills, but the views were out of this world. The lunch that was included was lovely. We are so happy that we were able to enjoy this incredible experience.Written 27 September 2024
- Bluretoothbuda0 contributionsIncredibleJuly 2024 - We (family of four with 13 and 14 year old kids) took the train from Florence to Montepulciano to catch this incredibly enticing e-bike ride through Tuscany from Urban Bikery (travel note - the train station in Montepulciano is located about 15 or so miles from the actual town of Montepulciano where Urban Bikery is - you can cab or bus to the base of the town and you can then walk from the base or take a shuttle the rest of the way up. Before our ride, Enrico (awesome) demo'd the bikes for us (and graciously bought me an espresso at the cafe next door to the shop - thank you Enrico!) and explained the tour and we were on our way. This was one of the most picturesque and interesting bike rides we have ever experienced. As expected, the views were stunning, the e-bikes were killer, we had lunch in a medieval town at La Guardiola in Monticchiello, and we felt like we were better acquainted with Italy just a bit... Highly recommend. Hope to return for more Urban Bikery experiences.Written 28 July 2024
- Felipe590 contributionsGreat experience renting from the guys at Urban Bikery.All organised online with a small deposit before we left home. We were greeted with a warm welcome when we arrived to collect our bikes. The equipment and setup was all top quality and made for a really enjoyable day cycling from Montepulciano to Pienza and back through Montechiello. The app they provide makes it super easy to follow the route and cycling is such a great way to get a feel for the area.Written 18 June 2024
- gastonbremer0 contributionsA Remarkable Customer Service Experience!This summer I purchased a stunning leather bracelet from Urban Bikery in Montepulciano, Italy, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product and the outstanding customer service. Unfortunately, the bracelet broke after a few weeks, but Michele quickly replaced it with a new one at no extra cost. The genuine care they demonstrated was truly exceptional. I'm now happily wearing my new bracelet, and I can't thank Michele and the team enough for their commitment to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend this shop for both their quality products and top-notch service! Gaston, Haarlem, NLWritten 6 December 2023
- sapiringogt0 contributionsOne of our top activities on our trip.This review is long overdue, but it's better late than never because Urban totally deserves it. I went on a trip to Italy in October 2022 with my girlfriend, and one of my favorite moments of our 17-day trip was e-biking all over Tuscany's landscapes. It was an unforgettable experience biking through vineyards and cute dirt roads, effortlessly reaching all the castles and little towns that are scattered all over the region. Regarding Urban Bikery, I highly recommend them. From the first time we contacted them, we were assisted by Michele, who provided us with clear information and answered all our inquiries. We felt very assured, considering that we were traveling from Guatemala and knew nothing about Italy and traveling there. The bikes were excellent, and it was really cool to be able to travel such long distances on a bike. Just remember to bring comfortable clothing and shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks, and water, and don't forget to use Google Maps or a similar app. Start as early as possible so that you're not in a rush. Don't plan too much; just enjoy the fresh air and go with the flow. You can't go wrong here. After you return the e-bikes, be sure to have dinner at the beautiful Montepulciano. Thanks to Michele for the unforgettable experience. It was amazing, and we'll be forever grateful. Remember that you have friends here in Guatemala whenever you decide to visit, and we would love to return all the love you showed us there. Cheers!Written 7 July 2023
- Roving4398100 contributionsWhy isn’t everyone doing this!?The staff are outstanding and very helpful. Biking through the Tuscan countryside (with the added ease of a battery) was absolutely amazing. Take the scenic tour, on the dirt roads - there was no one around and it was literally biking through the countryside you imagined when you thought of coming to Tuscany.Written 2 July 2023
- Jakef554450 contributionsGreat experience with Urban BikeryGreat experience!!! The owner was so nice and genuine and definitely loves what he does. He was so happy when we came back and told him how much fun we had! The bikes are also super nice and new and easy to use, highly recommend!Written 17 June 2023
- J1370XAkathrynm0 contributionsFun outdoor day stunning views!Awesome way to enjoy the countryside! We truly enjoyed our half day tour. The shop has incredible service, neither of us had any experience with e-bikes, everything was explained clearly and the assist from the battery was essential to make the hills doable, in fact it was easy and fun. The trails were peaceful and the views were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend reserving bikes to enjoy this experience!!Written 17 April 2023
- Anthony F0 contributionsE-bike tour of the area surrounding Montepulciano.The guys at UB were outstanding. They set us up with good bikes, gave us awesome directions on a tour that fit our needs and were flexible as they learned more about us. The tour was great. E-Bikes performed really well and seeing Tuscany on bikes was the way to go. Highly recommend UB. They made it all come together for us.Written 6 October 2022
- Laura A0 contributionsFriendly staff & good explanationSuper friendly staff & good explanation of the bikes. They offered us water & beer when we got back from cycling (which was much needed haha) and took the time to have a chat with us!Written 28 August 2021
- 568hannag0 contributionsHighlight of our holidayThis was te second time we did an urban bikery tour (first time was in Septembre 2020). It was (again) the highlight of our holiday! The bycicle is really supporting, also if you are not really trained. The route had stunning view. The guys help you out if you would like to do an other route, they have plenty of suggestions. This is a real must do, if you visit the area!Written 22 June 2021
- 939tessag0 contributionsPerfect dayFantastic day! Arrived around midday, hired the bike for the afternoon. Followed the route on the app which was really easy to use. The bikes are great- you can work hard or take it easy by adjusting the powerThe riding was on quiet roads or gravel paths with spectacular views. I stopped in 2 towns, and had lunch at a restaurant the Urban Bikery recommended in Pienza with stunning views of Val D'Orcia. I didn't want the day to end! But when it did I enjoyed sharing a beer in the bike store, sharing stories with all the customers returning their bikes at the end of the day. I highly recommend seeking out Urban Bikery if you are anywhere near to Montepulciano. It is the perfect way to see the countryside.Written 10 October 2020
- Andrew F0 contributionsThe absolute best way to see Tuscany!We’ve just had a fantastic afternoon riding through some of the best countryside in Europe on hire bikes from Urban Bikery. The scenery was stunning and the hill top towns and villages are a joy. But to see it from one of Urban Bikery’s E bikes is something else! The staff in the shop are polite and very helpful. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you Urban Bikery.Written 25 October 2019
- Mallika R0 contributionsMust do experience in Montepulciano!!!!I cannot say enough that this was the most amazing experience and the highlight of our trip to Tuscany in May this year. We rented the bike for the whole day and all we had to do is follow the GPS around the Tuscan countryside. The routes took us to some of the prettiest towns in Tuscany! This is definitely a must do experience in Montepulciano. It is extra special for us because my (then) boyfriend proposed along the route between Monticchiello and Pienza as we stopped to admire the view. It was amazing and special and gorgeous! I cannot wait to go back and experience it all again!!! The Urban Bikery staff are amazing (they were the first people we celebrated our engagement with)!Written 23 October 2019

We had a great experience with Rebecca, our tour guide. She was very patient with us while we became more comfortable riding, when we wanted to stop to take photos, or when one of us (me!) had trouble getting up the hill.
Our group of four was my husband and me (early 60s), and our daughter and her boyfriend (mid 20s).
We enjoyed our visit to the first winery, at which the guide there was very thorough and we enjoyed all the wines.
Our next stop was at an organic farm where we had a very tasty lunch in a picturesque setting.
The ride was never on roads with much traffic, but they were very hilly and more than half were gravel. Some of the gravel roads were very bumpy, and to be honest, a little unsettling to go down. Rebecca was very patient with all of us.
At the end, I did have too much trouble getting up one of the last hills and just couldn’t make it. Rebecca was not hesitant to call for the van to come pick me up, and they were very gracious about it! I’m in pretty good shape, but it was extremely hot, and I wasn’t always using the correct gear up all the hills. Not at all the responsibility of Urban Bikery, but something for you to consider if it might be an issue for you.
I would highly recommend them!

It doesn't get better than this. Michele was extremely nice and very accommodating. We had signed up for the wine bike tour and light lunch. We needed one vegetarian option but the second winery where we were scheduled for lunch didn't offer one. This wasn't an issue as Michele rearranged it so we ate at the first place and did a different winery for the second place. The food was great and the new second winery was exactly what we were hoping for. Very nice and hospitable staff that took extra time for us to answer questions and show us around, even though we got there about 15 minutes late. We never felt rushed or pressured and only felt very welcomed. The wine was great too.
Having a data plan for your cell phone is highly recommended. You could potentially do this without if you map it all in advance at the shop and are good with directions. The app is a web page that shows the wineries and then links to Google maps and this worked fine for us.
E-bike is a must. The bikes themselves were great and of course it's very hilly in this area. You're on gravel roads most of the way to the wineries and then mostly paved on the way back. My wife is very athletic (multiple marathons, multiple iron man's) and she was glad to have this on the return.
All in all we would do this again.

The owner was simply amazing. One of the most friendly, helpful, kind individuals I have ever met. When we were a bit nervous leaving town, he got on his bike and personally guided us down from the beautiful hilltop town.

We were welcomed very well with kindness and friendliness. Maximum seriousness in proposing the various paths to undertake, showing the opportunities based on the personal performance level. Furthermore, the functions of the bikes are explained clearly and completely!
We can only be enthusiastic about the experience we have had which we highly recommend by entrusting you to this impeccable service!

We had one of the most memorable days we’ve had in years exploring the Tuscan hillside with Urban Bikery. We rode lthrough tiny backroads to Montechiello and Pienza past stunning scenery - so much better than being in a car. The bikes were easy to use, and the staff were super helpful and patient. The personalized visits at small family vineyards that are optional stops were really special. We learned a lot about the local wine industry in addition to sampling some delicious wines. I can’t wait to come back and will rent from them again. Highly, highly recommend it. One tip: make sure you take a picture of the map they offer in case your phone loses wifi (as mine did a couple of times) - but it was easy to navigate with a photo of the map when that happened.

Family of four with active 11 and 14 year olds loved our Tuscan hillside bike ride. It was my 11 year old’s favorite activity of our 12 day Italy trip. E-bikes worked well, the company’s app worked well (as good as Google maps, we got a little turned around a few times and had to follow common sense) and the views were amazing. We stopped at two casual wineries and stopped separately for lunch at a roadside restaurant where we enjoyed real Italian home cooking. This plus 13 miles of riding was covered in about 6 hours. Recommend for any active family or couple who wants a different experience!

The crew that got us setup with our bikes were nice and friendly but there were issues with our GPS. I thought the bikes would be equipped with GPS - no you have to download the app and we had issues with goggle maps previously in the area. The other issue is we booked for 5 tastings at 5 vineyards and the day we arrived where told it would only be three. In addition, it’s poorly arranged. Due to the number of people at our first tasting, we were delayed arriving at our second. I texted the company about our delay and was told someone will be waiting for us. Nope, no one was there and we were told to proceed to our last tasting. So it went from 5 tastings to 3 to 2. That was the whole idea, to explore different vineyards. Very disappointing.

Hi Elizabeth, as we have already told you we are sorry that something went wrong with your tour.
There are 2 tastings and not 5 of course it is well specified in the product sheet both on our website and on the booking portal.
5 wineries in which to do bicycle tastings are frankly difficult to imagine.
We equip our thousands of customers with our GPS App that can be used on their smartphone to follow the routes and reach the previously booked cellars.
I understand that it can happen that you are not practical in handling a smartphone but nowadays it is really an exception.
As for the wineries, although we are not directly responsible for the difficulties encountered, we apologize if there were any delays.
P.s: I want to clarify, because you have not written it, that we have promptly refunded the cost of the experience.
We wish you the best

We had a fantastic day out on the electric bikes all around Montepulciano. Piergiorgio was so helpful and friendly and explains the route to follow, which is absolutely gorgeous with amazing scenic views. The two wineries we visited were great and we could keep in touch with the Urban Bikery team via WhatsApp the whole time. The bikes were also in great condition and very easy to ride, even for beginners.

This would be a 5 star review bar one experience. UrbanBikery were absolutely excellent. The guys in there were so courteous, friendly and explained everything to us clearly and patiently. They even gave us a return beer. Our first stop on the wine tour was Il Monlinaccio with Alessandro was an amazing experience; set in a beautiful farm where he explained all his delicious wines in detail and treated us like friends. 5 stars for both and the cycle itself was beautiful. Unfortunately our last stop at Aziendo Agricola Canneto was very disappointing; the service was just bad; unwelcoming, extremely slow, forgetful and it just felt like they didn't want us to be there. Although the views were amazing, the place itself lacked the charm of the previous vinyard and again the service impacted that experience. Urbanbikery, the cycle itself and Monlinaccio 5 stars! However if there's a way to change the stop at Canneto, I would!

Georgio met us on time to delivery the bikes and explained everything very well. The app was easy to use too! We set out for the day and made our way to Montecchiello where we had a super lunch at Osteria La Porta. The back roads were a little rough it the scenery was amazing. We stopped and walked the vineyards alongside the roads, picked plums from the fruit trees and truly soaked up all the beauty. We would recommend that folks have some experience with mountain biking … it’s not the same as street bikes and with the off road trails and hills, some challenges exit. But great day! Thanks for all your help and patience for our bike return. Note to others … let them pick up your bikes versus returning them to montepulciano … it’s a very steep climb up!
