Chianti wine, lovely landscapes and famous citys

Guided tour Tuscany in the saddle.

You are sitting in a cosy tavern, letting the bicycle day ease to a close. You truly deserve the spaghetti al pesto, and with it you are enjoying the Chianti-wine. You are then without any doubt on the way through Tuscany - the Italian landscape and the cultural jewel. Often by surprise a wonderful castle or a stylish villa emerges from behind the woods. Surrounded by silvery green olive groves and the violet of the lilies, Tuscany has always been a magic place for people all around the world. Even the great Goethe loved to travel there. To experience this landscape with its immense cultural heritage by bicycle is an unforgettable experience. Again and again the cycling tourist discovers wonderful historical monuments. As an opposite a typical Tuscan landscape offers often an ambience where you can enjoy seclusion. To discover Tuscany by bicycle is to cycle through regions that lie way off the tourists’ paths.
