For all bike enthusiasts, this tour will allow you to ride part of the 2013 World Cycling Championship route.
Depart right from the center of Florence, just two minutes' walk from Palazzo Pitti without shuttle vans and any kind of support vehicles: just you, your bike, and your bilingual tour leader who will be there to show you the way, point out the sights, and fix any possible flats or malfunctions.
The tour starts with a scenic ride up to the picturesque town of Fiesole, in the northeast of Florence. There you will get to see one of the best panoramas of Florence. The ride continues further into the hills where you will have lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in the area (claimed by many of our guests as their best meals of their trip!).
We will then stop at a family run local Chianti vineyard where we will see where their wine and olive oil is made and stored. You will have the chance to taste both and to purchase these locally made products. The return ride to Florence is mostly downhill.
We will provide 24 speed bicycles, helmets and water bottles.
The tour includes a delicious Tuscan lunch with wine and olive oil tasting, a winery and cellar guided tour and the constant assistance of a bilingual tour leader.
