What's it like to cycle up to 170 kms with 4200 meters elevation gain per day (for 10 days!), tackling famous French climbs like Mt. Ventoux, Alp D'Huez, Col du Sarenne and Col de la Forclaz?

A day on a guided bike tour in Tuscany can be so much fun, even if it's raining. Especially so when our superb tour leaders know where to take you for a sip of limoncello at the end of the ride!

This jolly group of travelers is sending in photos as they bike across Tuscany from Lucca to Florence.

Cycling through Italy also means discovering dreamy, ancient hilltop towns. Travel & Leisure's "12 most beautiful hamlets" of Italy reminds us there is much more than just Rome, Florence and Venice!

Ready to explore yourself? Our bike tours stop in many of these towns - Norcia, Cortina, Otranto, Cività di Bagnoregio. Or Brisighella, a short distance from our Italian base and a stop in our Bicycle Romagna tour, where sampling its exceptional DOP olive oil is a must (as well as enjoying a cappuccino in its beautiful, pastel-hued piazza!).

The article is in Italian - a perfect chance to brush up on your language skills. Read on below!

Ian and Kathryn just finished our cycling tour from Venice to Pisa. Thanks for your wonderful review (and fun photos)!

5 stars! It was fantastic. The pre-booking information and support from Cycle Europe was excellent and helped us to prepare for our trip. The route mapping was perfect and we cycled 2/3 of the trip on cycle paths and back roads. Each day was an adventure: some flat, some climbs, short and long rides, some iconic cities like Venice, Florence and Lucca mixed with smaller villages. A real Italian experience! We called on the The Cycle Europe Support Team a couple of times and they were great. Thoroughly recommend this trip and Cycle Europe.

"We just finished our last ride of the trip, and can’t thank everyone enough. Everything was wonderful. The rides, the hotels, the people. We’re already thinking about which trip to take next year! Thanks again - Rich and Karen"

We've said it before, we'll say it again... making travel dreams come true is what drives everything we do! Thank you customers Rich and Karen for your wonderful testimonial (and how about that shot of the Dolomites!)

Making travelers' dreams come true is what we strive for, and it drives everything that we do. Thank you Ali for your words - we can't wait to have you and your friends back in 2025!!
