In the hotel, you will first get detailed information on the tour and your bikes. Afterwards, we recommend taking a walk in the spa park or taking the historical rack railway train to Montecatini Alto.

At the beginning of your tour, you will cycle through the vast plains of the valley Valdenievole, which is characterized by a lot of agriculture. You will continue through the first Tuscan villages, through olive groves to Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo. We recommend visiting the museum in the castle since it is home to one of the largest and most original collections of machines and models of the inventor. Then, you will take quiet roads back to Montecatini Terme.

On your way to Lucca, you will pass the small, medieval wine town of Monte Carlo, where one of the few white wines of Tuscany flourishes. (Alternatively, you can take the train to Lucca). A bike ride on the historic city walls offers magnificent views of churches and towers that rise above the countless roofs of the city. Afterwards, you will continue to Lake Massacciuccoli, also called Lake of Giacomo Puccini with stunning views of the sea and Pisa with its Court of Miracles, the Piazza dei Miracoli with its Leaning Tower.

First, the bike path leads you along the river Arno. Many fertile fields line your way and you will continue your tour through the Pisan hills, on whose gentle slopes sweet wines, olives and juicy peaches grow. You will see small medieval villages located on the hilltops and soon you will have reached today’s destination, the spa town Casciana Terme.

Today, you will cycle on beautiful trails through vineyards and rolling hills to San Gimignano. On your way, you will see images of the original Tuscany as they have been painted many times. Just before you reach today’s destination, the silhouettes of the famous medieval towers appear in front of you. Each aristocratic family once had their own tower here – and these towers still dominate the townscape.

The beautiful Tuscan landscape on today‘s stage makes you forget the small climbs on the route. Once you reach the small fortified village of Monteriggioni, you will feel as if you were in the Middle Ages. Today’s highlight undoubtedly is the architectonic paradise of Siena.

The tour takes you into the midst of the wide Chianti region. Only here the world-renowned “Chianti Classico” wine, which is much respected among wine connoisseurs, is grown. The charming wine village of Castellina is on your way to Greve. Thanks to its famous wine and olive production, it is called the capital of the Chianti region. From here you will get back to Florence by public bus (bike drop-off in Greve)

Afterwards: individual departure, extension of your trip, or combination with the tours “Venice-Florence” and “Florence-Rome”.

Tour briefing and bike handover. Take your time to explore the surroundings before you hop in the saddle the next day. A leisurely stroll through the famous spa town is a perfect start—or perhaps a ride on the funicular up to Montecatini Alto?

The small medieval wine town of Montecarlo—where one of Tuscany’s rare white wines flourishes—lies along the route to Lucca (alternatively, you can reach Montecarlo independently by train). Cycling atop its nearly fully preserved city walls offers an unforgettable experience. The journey then continues to Lake Massacciuccoli, also known as Giacomo Puccini’s lake, boasting breathtaking views all the way to the sea and Pisa’s “Piazza dei Miracoli,” home to the world-famous Leaning Tower.

The cycling route first follows the Arno River, accompanied by fertile fields. Next, you’ll pass through the hills of the Pisa region, where gentle slopes are dotted with sweet vineyards, juicy olives, and ripe peaches. Small medieval villages cling to the hilltops like swallows’ nests. With these enchanting sights, you’ll soon arrive at today’s destination, the spa town of Casciana Terme.

You’ll pedal through vineyards and softly rolling hills along picturesque paths toward San Gimignano, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the authentic Tuscan countryside. Just before you arrive, the iconic silhouette of the world-famous medieval towers will come into view. Once owned by noble families, these historic towers still define the town’s charming skyline today.

The stunning Tuscan landscape along today’s route makes the occasional small climb barely noticeable. By the time you reach the fortified village of Monteriggioni, you’ll feel transported back to the Middle Ages. But the undeniable highlight of the day is the architectural gem that is Siena.

Enjoy great views over the vineyards on a beautiful mountain road. Take a break in the stone village of Vagliali and enjoy a good Italian cappuccino before cycling along a white road through vineyards and deciduous forests to Radda. Fortify yourself for lunch with a typical plate of pasta and savour the atmosphere of this village gem before the tour continues into the heart of Chianti to Castellina.

The last day of cycling takes you over a plateau with great views and then hilly to Greve with its enchanting old town centre. The capital of Tuscany draws ever closer and you cycle comfortably on a long descent to the Ponte Vecchio. You are sure to have found your favourite Tuscan wine this week. Treat yourself to it again at the end of your trip in beautiful Florence.

Flexible departure options, extensions, or combination with “Florence to Rome” tours are all available.
