Itinerary & Tour Descripion

After your pick-up in Florence or surrounding we whisk you off in the Chianti Classico Region, stopping first to visit the picture-perfect small town of San Donato in Poggio.
Enjoy wandering the pretty streets, get a cappuccino at the local coffee bar and take a few photos.

Then hop again into the support van and venture deeper into the Chianti Classico territory.

Our next stop is Castellina in Chianti. Explore the town square, the arched passages from the medieval times before being fitted for your bicycles and safety equipment.

The pedaling portion of your Florence to Siena day trip starts from here.

Let your biking adventure begin, ANDIAMOOO!

Breathtaking view of the hills covered in rows of vineyards, olive groves, cypress trees and when in season, poppies and wildflowers will mark your quiet and relaxed pace until the next destinations.
While coasting along a gentle, scenic road, enjoy the must-stop gorgeous viewpoint – punto panoramico – to take the first souvenir photos of your memorable journey.
Amazing Fonterutoli Castle, a small antique hamlet owned by the same noble family since 1435, stands in front of you.
Let your guide tell you all about the black rooster symbol of Chianti Classico Region since 1716.

Your ride continues passing vineyards and olive groves till we come to historical residence Lornano,a true piece of history as well as an Organic Winery.
Here we stop and follow our host for a full wine tour&tasting savoring their extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

After this wonderfully satisfying tasting experience, we venture forth for the last leg of biking, admire and capture the essence of Tuscany, its traditions, history, and charm.

In order to avoid the busy city traffic, we stop for one last panoramic view of the Chianti scenery, load up the bikes and you, before heading to the medieval walls of Siena, UNESCO recognized World Heritage site.

With its narrow streets, steep alleys, a stunning Gothic cathedral, and a bounty of early Renaissance art, Siena is often described as Italy’s best-preserved medieval city. We drop you off to explore the city and provide you with a city map to discover on your own.
And we give you a few insider tips on places for a great lunch & a delicious Italian gelato! (mettere stessa frase degli altri tour di quando si lasciano con suggestion)

After such a full day of excitement and emotions, our van is ready to provide you with a relaxing afternoon drive back to Florence.

Avid and experienced bikers can opt to start the biking portion of the tour from our first stop. If you are looking for the challenge, we will introduce you to some of the more demanding Chianti hills.
