Overview
Explore the rolling hills and olive groves of Tuscany and Chianti on this eight-day cycling adventure from Florence to Pisa. Cycle through small, medieval villages backdropped by mountain views in Chianti and the Crete Senesi region, then ride the pulsing streets of Pisa to the famed lopsided tower. Trace the ancient Via Lauretana, ride along part of an ancient pilgrimage route on Via Francigena and wind through the white roads and clay dunes of the Strade Bianche. With stops in stunning Siena, UNESCO World Heritage-listed San Gimignano and Lucca, you’ll have ample time for bowls of pasta and glasses of Chianti to wind down after rewarding days on the saddle.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. It is very important that you provide your height at time of booking to ensure you have the appropriate sized bicycle when your trip starts. If you do not provide your height ahead of arrival we cannot guarantee a suitably sized bike for you.
2. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. The Single Supplement does not include night 7 in Pisa, which will be twin share.
3. An e-bike option (at additional cost) may be available on this trip. We have limited numbers of these bikes available and they are an 'on request' basis only. Please ask your agent for more details at the time of booking.
4. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. We are unable to hire bike helmets locally so please bring your own bike helmet from home.
5. On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
6. As space in the support vehicle is very limited we request that travelers bring only a small bag, no more than 20kgs with them.
7. While cycling, the support vehicle can only be used in medical emergencies and not as transportation for tired riders.
