Description

As promised with these tours... no churches, no museums and no annoying crowds. With the departure right from the local tour operator office in Florence, this 'green' tour, meaning no shuttle vans, no support vehicles and no carbon footprint - just you, your bike and your bilingual guide. A winery visit will also be included, where you will sample both olive oil and wine. Tuscan multi-course lunch is a highlight at a local traditional family run trattoria. Your guide will be there to show you the way, point out the sights and fix any flats or malfunctions. The tour includes a scenic ride up to the picturesque town of Fiesole, located to the northeast of Florence. Once you arrive in Fiesole, you get to see one of the best views of Florence. The ride then continues further into the hills, where you will eat at one of the favorite restaurants in the area (La Casa del Prosciutto) - which is claimed by many of the guests to be one of the best meals of their trip. On the return trip back to Florence, you will stop at a local family run Chianti vineyard to see where their wine is made and stored, and have a look at their personal stash of olive oil. Tasting of both is encouraged. Purchase and shipping of both wine and oil is available from the vineyard. The return ride to Florence is mostly downhill getting you back to the shop no later than 17:00.
