Description
Experience the magic of Tuscany, Italy, from the seat of a bike. The landscape is rugged in this area of outstanding natural beauty. Olive trees, vineyards and cypress trees dot the landscape and history is around every corner. This region is the heart of olive oil and Italian red wine production, and is a feast for the senses. Ride by olive groves and vineyards, smell the fermentation of the grapes and, of course, there will be plenty of opportunity to taste. Many architectural remnants of Etruscan and Roman times can still be seen amongst the incredible beauty of the famous Tuscan landscape. The cycling is challenging but the rewards are high as you are dazzled by the natural landscapes, art and architecture of this region.
