Excursão de Bicicleta de um Dia Inteiro à Zona Rural da Toscana

We had the bestest time and it was so convenient

We rented bikes for the day. Dejan got us outfitted and helped us with our course. The bikes were high quality and in excellent condition. We also appreciated Tuscany Cyle working with our schedule. We will definitely rent again if we are back in Florence.

Unfortunately it was not a good experience, the guide made us cycle non-stop, around 15 km with a lot of climbs (we are well prepared, so much so that we completed the route quickly), we didn't have to stop to take photos, everything was very rushed, lunch was very weak, a starter and the main course a type of Moroccan couscous. For someone who cycled so much in the hot sun, we expected much more A relatively expensive tour, which did not meet what was in the description

We enjoyed this experience! It was a 5 star experience but the few notes below suggest more of 4-4.5 star experience. The people were great. The views were great. The details of the trip when booking it were a bit vague but went with the booking anyway. I got the impression that it was all day. But was from 10-3pm there and back including lunch, wine, small winery tour and bike ride. There was not any castle tour as the description suggested. The bike ride was short (said it was 10km, but felt much less) but the host stopped and help take plenty of photos and was very nice Italian man with just enough English! The lunch was nice but was not filling. Some meat, cheese, bread and cous cous with ragu sauce. The wine tasting was very nice. Overall 2 adults and 3 kids enjoyed the experience very much!

Fantastic just fantastic advice to see Florence doing it all by bike Truly a unique and beautiful thing

I have some good and not so good things to say about the bicycle tour. Good Maurizio, our bike group leader, was friendly and helpful. The winery tour with Francesco at the start (before the bike tour) was good – it was interesting to see the Etruscan grain storage containers discovered during the excavation. The lunch after the bike tour was good. Not so Good The pictures on the bike tour section of the website show flat, quiet roads – one looks like an untraveled farm road. The tour is in fact on hilly roads with traffic. It was not dangerous but was not the type of relaxing cycling environment shown in the pictures. Had I known what type of roads were involved I wouldn’t have booked the tour. Also, if you are not used to cycling up hills don’t book this tour. The TuscanyCycle owner (Dejan, I think) gave a safety talk at the outset of the tour but then I discovered, after we started, that the right hand (rear wheel) brake on my bike did not fully grip the wheel, even when fully engaged. I had to rely on the left hand (front wheel) brake. This is an unsafe situation when going downhill. Maurizio kindly switched bikes with me when I alerted him to this problem but it was still concerning. Dejan and his crew have plenty of time every day, while people are having lunch, to make any necessary adjustments to the bikes so why wouldn’t they attend to basic safety items?

Manuela was excellent host at the winery, interesting back story to the winery, bike were decent for the short ride, Kenny was a great guide.

The wine tour was so Interesting. Wine was amazing. Biking through the countryside was beautiful. Staff are friendly.

Dajan was the best tour guide ever! We had a lot of fun together because I had to ride on the back of his vespa while doing the tour! I honestly enjoyed riding with someone else so I could see the views of the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

We showed up for our bike ride and it was canceled. We have not received a refund. It would have been nice to know that it was canceled.
