“Very highly recommended! This is a fantastic tour in a beautiful part of Tuscany. The whole experience felt relaxed and homely, like spending a day with a group of friends. There was no rush at all; we could take our time and truly enjoy the wine and our surroundings. We visited two local vineyards, and it was nothing like the big, industrial wine tastings that are often found on larger tours – this felt personal, authentic, and special. The wines were excellent, with generous and varied tastings, and the food pairings were more than just snacks – truly delicious and abundant. Our guide, Tomasso, was exceptional. Down to earth, knowledgeable,…”

“We had a great time. The bike was well maintained. The staff were very helpful. The route App was easy to use. I would add that it drained my iphone battery over a few hours so I advise you having a spare phone or battery pack as backup especially if you are cycling back. The route is very scenic across gravel trails, roads and cycle paths. There are one or two sections where you need to go on a main road and round a roundabout but the route is suitable for most cyclists.”
