Your cycling trip in Tuscany :

The landscape of Tuscany is one of the most beautiful and evocative in Europe, with rolling hills laced with verdant vineyards and cypress trees lining the roads.
You will pedal from one incredible view to the next, admiring Renaissance art and architecture and getting to know the lands of many great artists of the past, such as Leonardo da Vinci and the composer Giacomo Puccini. The towns of Pisa and Florence do not need any further presentation, but in this tour you will discover also picturesque villages where you will be tempted by the excellent Tuscan cuisine.

Your journey

Tuscany has a wonderful but also hilly landscape. The itinerary runs mostly on a flat area with some hilly parts which do not requireparticular athletic skills.
You will cycle on quiet minor roads and sometimes even on country lanes from one famous city to another (88% tarmac, 12% unpaved). Close to bigger cities, traffic is unfortunately unavoidable.
