“Birthplace of the Renaissance, land of Dante’s poetry, and Chianti wine, Muse to Michelangelo”
Tuscany is deservedly world-renowned for having the many elements that make for an enriching travel experience. Traveling by bicycle allows us to enjoy the subtler aspects of this region, off of the ‘touristed’ main routes into the heart that is Italy. Is this among the the most beautiful regions on earth? We think so. On our Classic trip, we stay in a combination of distinctive hotels, charming agriturismos and comfortable inns (except for Siena, all with fabulous swimming pools) and hosts that will welcome you with open arms. Enjoy!
Only Great Explorations:
- Small groups, extraordinary guides, and authentic experiences
- A ride you will never forget: Asciano to Pienza with a picnic along the way at a secret location where the view is breathtaking
- A meal you will never forget: lunch at Tre Porte in the picture perfect village of Montichielo
- Order off the menu at restaurants you won’t find in guidebooks
- Distinctive, charming hotels too small for larger groups
- We design and operate our own trips so there are only good surprises
Trip Reviews
“Surpassed my expectations. My family had a fabulous time. I especially like how flexible and resourceful the guides were – like finding extra biking gear when ours was lost, checking in and out of hotels, adapting the biking and daily plan based on our requests. They were also very professional and engaging in conversation. We learned much about the region from them. They helped make the trip one we will all remember. We like all of the hotels – each one had a unique flavor and view.”
“We found the people we met made the trip so special. Several of us have already been talking about which trip to go on next year.”
“We loved the scenery, the old hill towns, the food, the wine: the whole experience was fantastic. Our guide was great! He was so knowledgeable about the areas we traveled in, made excellent choices for activities and restaurants, and was very supportive.”
“The trip exceeded my expectations on all levels. The location, hotels, food, extra activities – all of this made for an amazing package and a great value. The guides were exceptional – extremely knowledgeable about the area, thoughtful, helpful and so much fun to be with!”
