Cycling & Cooking in Tuscany Guided Tour--my wife and I had a great experience with Cicloposse on this tour. Cicloposse is a LOCAL, FAMILY-OWNED business based in Pienza. They are avid cyclists, know all the routes, and they hand select the other people involved in the tour experience--Sabrina, our gracious host at the villa, the farmers, wineries, chefs, etc to ensure the highest levels of hospitality. Each day we rode to a different destination (25-35 mi) and then returned home to our lovely villa in time to clean up for dinner. We had a diverse set of cycling skills within our group, but our guides, Thomasso and Panos, kept us all organized. All of our needs were met and not a single thing was left to chance. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all included every day, so no need to find them on our own. One or more of the family members joined us at every meal, making us feel like part of their family. They made sure that my wife's dietary and food allergy needs were met at each meal. The cooking classes were fun, informative and, above all, the food we made was great! And of course, there was beautiful Tuscan scenery, luscious olive oil and delicious wine! It was very emotional for us to say goodbye to all of our new friends when the tour ended. Grazie mille, Guiliana and the Cicloposse family!

We chose CicloPosse’s Southern Tuscany tour for our first e-bike trip and we loved it! This trip featured 2 or 3 nights in each town. We loved the hotels and the routes were beautiful. There were many cyclists and walkers on the routes and at the hotels . We were two couples in our 60’s and we felt so young with our extra power up the hills. We did the trip in early June, a gorgeous time of year. Everyone at CicloPosse was friendly and accommodating. We asked for old school turn by turn directions and found them flawless. We give this company and area 5 stars!!

This was a fabulous experience in every sense - majestic 13th century towns, incredible vistas, wonderful caring guides, amazing farmhouse accomodation, a world class chef, a genuine family with local knowledge and a generous spirit wanting you to feel and live the Tuscan way. We felt like we had the privilege to be brought into their world and didn’t want to leave. The cycling was outstanding and cooking lessons encouraging and informative - I highly recommend you do this!

Our 6th European bike trip over the last 10 years, with six different providers. Cicloposse was the best by far. Service was very personalized. They were super responsive to any texts and requests, going above and beyond every time. If they are in the area we choose next time, we will definitely use them again!

The kind folks at Cicloposse put together an absolutely amazing itinerary of cycling, agriturismo, unique hotel, cooking classes, epic rides, unforgettable dinners and much more family as we rode through the beautiful Tuscany countryside. Even during the unguided portions where we went along on our own they were very helpful to make sure we were taking very good care of. Huge thanks to Giuliana, Tommy, Panos, Matilda and the whole gang. I definitely recommend you connect with these folks if you want an authentic, safe, and amazing experience for cycling tours.

Every detail of this trip was thoughtfully planned from the cycling excursions to the cooking lessons. This family owned business runs a top notch company and provided a memorable holiday riding up and down the Tuscan Hills. Thank you so much!!

A wonderful location bike in and great food experiences. But more important the brilliant organisation, relaxed atmosphere and the great team team spirit of the Cicloposse family made it a trip to remember. I'd thoroughly recommend to a cyclist of any level.

We just completed our wonderful weeklong tour in Tuscany with Cicloposse. Giuliana created a bespoke tour for us based on our input and requests. Everything from start to finish was excellent. The lodging, routes, restaurant recommendations, luggage transfers, and support were all that we could ask for. Tommaso, our guide, made our trip even more enjoyable. Our group has ridden across the US, France, Spain, and Italy. Cicloposse has our highest endorsement.

Our group of 6o year olds spent 6 exquisite days touring quiet routes between lovely hilltop villages in Umbria - Tuscany’s more sedate but no less charming cousin. Cicloposse provide an extremely high level of service in trip planning at an affordable rate and then really lifted their game when it came to delivering the ultimate bike tour even by picky North American standards. Every aspect of the journey felt personally curated for the keen cyclist and offered up treat after treat along the road in the form of wineries, local culinary experiences and of course endless gelato! Hotels were well chosen and easily merited their 4 star ratings. Would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company and we’ve already started talking about a return trip next year!

My wife and I just returned from a fantastic gravel bike trip from Pienza to Gaiole, via Montalcino and Siena. They chose gorgeous routes including long stretches of the classic Strade Bianche used by the pros and in the Eroica granfondo. Our hotels couldn’t have been more charming, and some were quite luxurious. Giuliana and Marco were very flexible and helped us with a lot of little things. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cicloposse to anyone looking for a great Italian cycling adventure!

We were so impressed with our experience with Cicloposse. We did the under the Tuscan Sun tour. The route and information provided was great, the accommodations were wonderful and we had a magical time. We are looking forward to our next trip with them!

We did “Under the Tuscan Sun” tour which exceeded our expectations. The hotels are all top quality, unique with their own charm. The rides are well organized and lead to many beautiful destinations. The baggage service was seamless.
