Pedal across the Tuscan countryside on this unforgettable 6-day journey.
Tuscany is the stuff of fairy tales; given to warm climates and warmer people, lush vineyards that spill onto the hillsides, and a poetic charm that stays with us. To see this area from the seat of a bike is legendary. Our journey takes us to the finest hill towns in Tuscany to savor traditional cuisine and taste wines as we ride among centuries-old fortified towns, villas and palazzi.
Our destinations range from the Renaissance town of Pienza, to the tree-lined hills of Crete Senesi and, finally, to lively Siena. We bike approximately 40 miles a day through rolling hillsides, our views filled with forests and cypress trees. Our local guides show us Italy’s most authentic side, leading us through charming villages to local artisans, and providing us with historical background along the way. Cycling along the countryside is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the best of Tuscany.

Tour Reviews
Hi Giuliana,
We are back home in the US now for about a week and a half, after finishing a glorious trip (Tuscany Italy Cycling) with Cicloposse. Everything about the trip was perfect, and we wanted to thank you and your family for making our trip so memorable. There were so many things that we are grateful and thankful for, which included (to name just a few):
• Your allowing us to do the tour with just the six of us.
• The historic places that were chosen for our lodging. They were all spotlessly clean, comfortable and full of history. We enjoyed them all, especially Castello di Gargonzo where the owner gave us a tour.
• The maps!
• The bikes (the best ever)!
• The coffee breaks (and the towns that were chosen for our coffee breaks)
• The excellent guidance and company provided by Marco, Tomaso and Panos.
Fidelma (Cycle West Ireland), had so many nice things to say about Cicloposse, and we were very happy to make your acquaintance, well as Marco, Tomaso and Panos. Maybe we will meet Mathilde as well sometime in the future.
We have so many happy memories of our trip, and please thank everyone for all that they did to make the trip so wonderful. We have already recommended your company to friends and are already thinking about a way to make a future trip with Cicloposse happen for our family.
Kind Regards to All,
