Italy - E-bike Tuscany

ITALY ITALY – E-BIKE TUSCANY

Indulge all your senses on our Tuscany tour. Cycle gorgeous rolling countryside and stay in spectacular medieval walled villages. Savor exquisite Italian cooking and hospitality at venues hand-picked for local charm. Challenging hills lead to some villages, but you can ease the hills with an e-bike or go “old school” on a road or hybrid bike. Your choice!

Settle into the pace of life in Italy as you start the trip with a guided walking tour of Florence — and one of Siena. Walk in the footsteps of Galileo and learn about the influence of the Medici family in the region. Plus, our tickets let you skip the line and see Michelangelo’s “David.”

Start cycling outside Siena and enjoy lunch together at a villa overlooking the age-old hamlet of Murlo. Stay two nights in the walled city of Montalcino and ride through the nearby vineyards.

Bike along a river to see the medieval villages of Montisi and Castlemuzio. Take a side trip cycling to the monestary where they filmed “The English Patient.” And stay two nights each in the walled cities of Pienza and Montepluciano.

The last two days include biking to see an ancient hot springs and a stay at a luxurious resort with thermal baths. Finally, we transport you to Chiusi for departure by train.
