Tuscany round trip 8-day Cycling Tour

“La vita è bella!” Few places invite you to savor life as beautifully as Tuscany. Rolling hills draped in vineyards, cypress-lined avenues, historic architecture, and cultural treasures accompany you on your cycling journey through this captivating Italian region. In Vinci, you’ll walk in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci and in Pisa, you’ll pedal around the iconic leaning tower; and in Florence, you’ll cross the famed Ponte Vecchio. After each day’s ride, delight in world-renowned culinary treats—from antipasti to zabaione. By day, you’ll cycle past endless vineyards; by evening, you’ll have the chance to savor their finest wines. Here, natural splendor meets architectural brilliance—nowhere else in the world does this enchanting combination shine as vividly as it does in Tuscany

Highlights:

• Leonardo da Vinci: With every pedal, you come closer to the home of Leonardo da Vinci. Once in Vinci, a visit to the museum in the castle is recommended. What to expect? Original collections and models by the artist.
• ‘Piazza dei Miracoli’: A special highlight of this cycle tour is the stopover in Pisa. Who hasn’t heard of the famous leaning tower? In addition to this special attraction, the city has many more beauties in store!
• Wine area of Castellina: wine-lovers take note! The penultimate stage leads through the wine village of Castellina, where the world-famous Chianti Classico is grown. This charming wine village is also known as the ‘capital of the Chianti region’ because of its famous vines and olives.
