Tuscany has always been a magic place for people all around the world. To experience this landscape with its immense cultural heritage by bicycle is an unforgettable experience. A typical Tuscan landscape offers an ambience where you can enjoy seclusion. To discover Tuscany by bicycle is to cycle through regions that lie way off the tourists’ paths.
Tuscany has a dreamlike but also hilly landscape. During all tours, whether guided or individual, our accompanying mini bus is always within your reach ready to take you along for a while if you wish. We cycle on lovely side paths and country lanes from one famous city to another. You sometimes have to cope with heavy traffic on entering or leaving a city.
