Bike tours in Tuscany

Our promise to those who travel with us is this: cycle easy, travel light. These words capture the essence of what we do. Choose your favourite cycling holiday and leave the rest to us: itinerary, handpicked accommodation, luggage transfer between stops and multilingual dedicated assistance.

Our Tuscany cycling holidays have been carefully refined over many years — these are well-tested itineraries that we know inside out, from the best back roads to the most rewarding stops along the way. We also have a dedicated operating base in Pisa, with over 150 bikes and an on-site colleague who handles bike delivery, luggage transfers and on-tour support from late March to early October.

Tuscany is a great cycling destination from March through to October. Spring is the finest time to ride: mild temperatures, the countryside in full bloom, and far fewer crowds than in summer. September and October are equally rewarding. July and August are perfectly manageable, though the heat can be demanding on the hillier sections, making an e-bike a very sensible choice.

Our routes take you through some of the most iconic landscapes and cities, like Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, the Chianti hills, the medieval towers of San Gimignano, the walled town of Monteriggioni. But the real pleasure of cycling here is everything in between: the quiet white gravel roads, the hilltop villages, the vineyards, the unexpected views around every bend. For a deeper look at what Tuscany has to offer, read our complete travel guide on the blog.

On our self-guided bike tours in Tuscany, we provide everything you need to find your way: detailed maps and route descriptions, and access to the Ride with GPS app, with GPS tracks and route content, available offline too.

You can rent the bike that suits you best — it will be ready and waiting at your starting point. You can choose between an e-bike and a standard bike and, if you’re travelling with family, there are plenty of accessories for children of all ages, from child seats to bike trailers. On some trips you can also bring your own bicycle. Check the trip page for full details on available bikes.

Wearing a helmet while cycling in Tuscany is not required by law. For your safety, we always recommend wearing one, so make sure to bring yours.

Every morning you leave your luggage at the reception desk and we take care of transporting it to your next accommodation. We will provide you with luggage labels and drop-off times. During the day, you can carry your essentials in the side bag provided with your rental bike. The service is always included in the price. Cycling light makes all the difference.

Accommodation varies depending on the trip. It can range from hotels and guesthouses to B&Bs. We handpick every property with care, favouring those conveniently located along the route. Breakfast is always included. For full details, check the “Comfort” section on the trip page.

Every bike tour includes: handpicked accommodation with breakfast, luggage transfer, route materials and multilingual assistance. Depending on the trip, you can add extra services to your quote, such as bike rental, meals, extra nights and transfers.

Yes, and that’s one of the best things about self-guided tours. You pick the date that suits you, within the tour’s season. A few tours have fixed start days for logistical reasons — this is always flagged on the tour page.

From the moment you book until you’re back home, we’ve got you covered. On self-guided trips, it is good to be prepared for the small mechanical hiccups that come with cycling — that’s why we provide a full repair kit with everything you need to handle a flat tire on your own. For anything else, our support line is available 7 days a week, from 8 AM to 8 PM.

We strongly recommend it. A good policy should cover medical expenses, trip cancellation and cycling-specific incidents. Travel insurance is not included in the tour price and must be arranged independently before your trip.

It is simple: choose your trip, get your quote, and book directly online by filling in the required details and paying a deposit by credit card or bank transfer. Within 3 working days we will send you a confirmation email or an update. If you have any questions or doubts, get in touch. We are available by phone or email.
