You are sitting in a cosy tavern, letting the bicycle
day ease to a close. You truly deserve the spaghetti al pesto, and with
it you are enjoying the Chianti-wine. You are then without any doubt
on the way through Tuscany - the Italian landscape and the cultural jewel.
Often by surprise a wonderful castle or a stylish villa emerges from
behind the woods. Surrounded by silvery green olive groves and the violet
of the lilies, Tuscany has always been a magic place for people all around
the world. Even the great Goethe loved to travel there.
To experience this landscape with its immense cultural heritage by bicycle
is an unforgettable experience. Again and again the cycling tourist discovers
wonderful historical monuments. As an opposite a typical Tuscan landscape
offers often 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 make do with heavy traffic on entering or leaving
a city.
Hotel parking lots in limited
number, booking beforehand not possible, €25/week.
To Montecatini Terme by
train (price per person about €5.-). Transport
to Montecatini by mini bus after the tour (price
per person €15 incl. cycle, payable on the
spot, only if booked beforehand).
