From the Renaissance city of Florence to the pristine beaches of Elba, Tuscany's cultural wealth and natural beauty are incredibly rich and varied. This unique tour explores the best of Tuscany by combining coastal cycling with spins through vineyards, olive groves and along ancient Roman roads. We begin just outside of Florence, in Reggello, a tiny market village nestled in the foothills of the Pratomagno, a forested mountain ridge which has provided  a spiritual and peaceful refuge for visitors throughout the centuries.

From Reggello we cycle along Via Chiantigiana (literally, Chianti Street), a classic and rustic route that passes through the heart of the Chianti wine region. The landscape is like a Renaissance painting that comes alive with wildflowers in the spring or crushed grapes in the fall. Our excursion continues to Siena, where a Medieval air lingers amidst the twisting streets of warm, brown brick. Strolling Siena's narrow maze of cobblestone walkways is an amazing architectural journey - incredible masonry, delightful piazzas, a marble cathedral, and Torre del Mangia, Siena's famous tower, with a view that will make your head spin!

From Siena we'll travel through dramatic landscapes to Volterra, known for its charm, panoramic setting, and Etruscan origins. Our tour climaxes on the enchanting island of Elba. One of the most beautiful islands in Italy, Elba has been recognized for centuries for its diverse landscape and abundant mineral resources. Modern travelers are lured to this relaxing island
