Cycling is certainly one of the best ways to discover a new place and it's probably the ideal mode of transport for getting to know Tuscany better. It offers the chance to find hidden gems, get well off the beaten track and to take in the breath-taking landscapes which surround without getting into an accident. You can take your time, enjoy the fresh air and truly immerse yourself in the whole experience. One company, in particular, is all about giving a true experience of Tuscany and offers one day bike tours which explore this beautiful region. This is IBikeTuscany, a small Florence-based company which organizes bike tours in Tuscany, and was founded by Marco Vignoli, a former bicycle racer who wants to share his passion for cycling and Tuscany. If you want to be involved in sharing these passions with Marco, just find a holiday rental in Florence and get exploring the Tuscan countryside.
IBikeTuscany organizes a range of different private bike tours in Tuscany which can be chosen to suit families, groups of friends or couples that want to share a memorable getting out, getting active and exploring Tuscany. The tours are carefully planned and can be customised to suit you and your party and whatever special needs or requirements that you might have. You can choose from several one-day bicycle tours including tours of Florence and its surroundings, wine and Chianti tours and biking from Florence to Siena to get a taste of both of these beautiful cities. Each one has its different advantages and appeals and you’ll be sure to find the one that is the right fit for you. All of the tours, however, have one thing in common; they really are the perfect way to explore the region.
Tours depart at around 9am when the staff picks you up directly at your hotel in Florence and drives you to the starting point. There you’ll find your bicycle ready and waiting for you to start your adventure. One of the most appealing of said adventures, though, has to be the biking through Chianti tour. It sees you cycle on peaceful country lanes, through an endless panorama of vineyards, olive groves and centuries-old stone farmhouses, stopping at three top-ranking wineries for tastings, one of which will include a cellar tour.You'll also enjoy a light lunch featuring local products and wine pairings at one of the best wineries in the area.
