Cycling Holidays in Tuscany

Tuscany Cycling Holidays

Gusto Cycling Offer a wide range of Tuscany cycling options to suit all tastes.
Tuscany has it all..History, Art, Culture, amazing gastronomy and great wine..plus the added bonus of enjoyable cycling through its varied countryside and medieval places which have hardly changed for over 600 years!!

Its no surprise that Tuscany is so popular and draws people from walkers and cyclists. Its undulating countryside, hilltop medieval towns with rewarding and far reaching views is a satisfying end to great days cycling as your own leisurely pace.

Its a relaxing holiday where you stop for a cappuccino when like, have a relaxing lunch when ever you want, enjoy a wide variety of accommodation from agriturismos’ to fabulous villas and hotels to suit your budget. At night after a day of discovery enjoy a delicious pasta and a glass of wine from one of the many vineyards dotted all over the countryside.

The emphasis is to discover, enjoy and admire Tuscany and all its cultural treasures as you cycle along quiet country roads, some are undulating of course. A new feature in 2014 is the introduction of electric bikes which has proved more and more popular for those who want to enjoy a cycle experience with their partner or friends and still keep fit!

I like to give a very personal service with attention to detail which is my halmark and as is shown in the many positive feedback

Cycling in Tuscany can offer many varied options of scenery and experiences, whether your a novice or regular cyclist the aim is to enjoy a relaxing tour at your own pace.

I specialise in bespoke tours based on your particular preferance and budget …i do have my favourites which have proved popular..

here is an example;

Day 1 arrive in San Gimignano amazing medieval town unchanged since the 13th century!!

On a hilltop in the heart of Tuscany stands a majestic, medieval walled town called Saint Gimignano which enjoys world wide recognition for its famous towers. You arrive and walk through the ancient gates and it feels like your stepping back in time to the thirteenth century. San Gimignano has retained all its old features and character.

Day 2 San Gimignano to Vinci – visit the museum and the home of Leornardo di Vinci ..see the many creations brought to live in the museum.

You can even visit his house where he was born located just outside vinci amongst a lovely views and setting among the olive groves.

Day 3 Vinci to Montecatini Terme – beautiful relaxing spa town.

Day 4 Cycle to wine estate for lunch and return to Montecatini Terme (optional) relax and enjoy the day…or visit Montecatini Alto by taking the wooden funicolar (the oldest funicolar in the world) with stunning panoramic views and medieval piazza offers a great choice for lunch or dinner, or spend a relaxing day at a wellness centre and relax the muscles!!

Day 5 Montecatini Terme to Lucca –

Lucca its a beautiful medieval town set within the old battlement walls, its a cycle town everyone cycles around and you can cycle around the 4 km walls of the town. Its fun and very relaxing tour of its amazing town.
