Thanks to our 30+ year experience of running bike tours every day in the countryside of this beautiful region, we’ll share with you our knowledge to let you enjoy a very special muscular touring bike or E-bike adventure.

We have 2 different countryside itineraries you can pick from (half-day and full-day), depending on the distance you want to cover.

Thanks to our GPS itineraries (using your own device – you will need to have internet data on your phone to navigate) and the info pack that comes with your booking, you can make the best out of your time in the region.

The service includes support in case of inconveniences, suggestions for places to have a typical snack along the way, and booking for wine and olive oil tastings at local farms (subject to availability)

We will provide you with the right bikes or E-bikes for you, helmets, branded water bottles, some basic tools, and an info sheet + map (remember to bring a fully charged phone!). You can pick between a shorter ride in the amazing Florentine hills or a longer ride in Chianti Classico (E-bikes strongly suggested on the latter!).

Check-in will be at our office at 10 am.

If you do the half-day itinerary, you can come back between 2 pm and 3 pm (suggested for muscular bikes, the full-day ride has got a lot of strong hills and we advise getting E-bikes); otherwise, come back between 5 pm and 6 pm. Later checkout will result in penalties.

And off you go for your biking adventure.

So after a morning coffee in an authentic Italian bar away from the touristy areas, maybe have a wine tour at a Chianti farm (subject to availability)?

Or maybe get a traditional panino with fresh local products in a countryside town and have a picnic in an olive orchard?

Or for a more historical and fancy experience, go have lunch in the ancient hamlet where the Renaissance philosopher Machiavelli used to live and was exiled.

We’ll share with you our best itineraries and recommendations for every budget and preference.
