★★★★★ Gary O
An excellent bike tour to include
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
This was our first time in Italy and the self guided trip was and excellent way to experience all the charms and challenges of this amazing place. Everything from our briefing to the charming and very comfortable hotels was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The bike ride was suitably challenging with regular touring bikes, and proved to be an excellent workout. Towns and villages along the way were all an added bonus. Our tour hosts were excellent and even provided a ride back to Sienna to gather my car on the last day. Thank YOU!

Wonderful experience
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
My wife and I spent 9 days in Italy, with the first three days being our bike tour and that was by far our favorite part of the trip. The tour operators were so kind and friendly and helpful and were also very flexible as our travel plans were delayed last minute. We will absolutely being doing another one of their tours!

A nice and perfect organization
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
Routes and the booklet given to us were very clear and helpful. We would have liked to receive details of each of our two bikes sot to ask for change. In fact we did not need so heavy bikes for the roads of our tour, and one as 27 and the other was 29" wheels for same height of the two of us.

Amazing views!
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
The itinerary was wonderful, the medieval cities are amazing and very well located hotels. The only thing we didn't like very much was that the way was mostly on narrow paved roads, we were expecting to ride more on dirt roads.
Apart from that, we liked everything, including the e-bikes and local support.

Great tour
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
Despite two days of intermittent fog/clouds/rain, we loved this tour. The bikes and equipment were perfect. The tour operator, Cicloposse, was efficient, responsive, flexible. The hotels were quite good including lovely breakfasts. The routes were wonderful, so many interesting and beautiful places to see, and even though we were on roads, we felt safe.

Trip of my Wife's dreams
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
My wife had dreamed of a Tuscany bike ride, so we decided the time was right. We setup our contract with road bikes. We are used to rode bikes and have never tried eBikes. Our Tour Advisor, Inshaaf Anderson, suggested we consider eBikes due to the hilly Tuscan terrain. Unfortunately, we stayed with the road bikes. The Tuscan hills are long uphill and fast downhill. After our 1st day we were having second thoughts about eBikes. Day 2 included Montepulciano and the most challenging 34 miles of our lives. After reviewing the Day 3 ride to Montalcino we wished we had listened to Inshaaf. We were able to contact and exchange our bikes. Another unfortunately, we had nothing left once we arrived in Montalcino. We made arrangements with Cycloposse to exchange us for the bikes and rode to Siena. A special thanks to Enrico and Panos for their support and compassion. Even though we didn’t complete the tour, we saw some wonderful country and met many wonderful Italians. We enjoyed the hotels very much and had no concerns about the safety of the bikes. A special thanks to Inshaaf, Kate and Taylor for their support during the entire process. Thank you, Bryce and Elizabeth

Gorgeous countryside - good biking
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
This is a very enjoyable fairly easy ride. Pienza is stunning. The country side does not seem real. The e-bikes were great and made the ride comfortable. The hotels were comfortable and welcoming. I forgot my glasses at one hotel and they were brought to me asap. Great support.

Umbria The green Valleys a pleasant surprise
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
The area was absolutely wonderful. The local bike company charming and most helpful. Every one of the hotels had its own charm and uniqueness. the bike tour itself was just one adventure after another going through the small villages and beautiful towns. Umbria still has a feel of virginity and less crowded with tourist as in other parts of Italy. The local food was delicious and the local people more than willing to help if you had a problem. We finished the tour with a lot of taste for more.

Beautiful ride in an interesting part of Italy
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
This tour of Umbria combines delicious food and wine, beautiful scenery, and wonderfully preserved medieval towns like Assisi, Spello, Spoleto, and Bevagna. The tour operators (Petra and Paolo) are very organized and personable. A highlight was the guest house (Country House Casco Dell'acqua) operated by Carla and her brother Luigi. Not to be missed!

Fabulous self guided tour at a great price!
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
Bike Tours.com always provided prompt and clear communication in preparation of the trip overseas. The tour company in Italy provided excellent service and great bikes. We were a group of 10, including kids, and were impressed with the quality of hotels chosen and loved the dinner package option. Stress free and enjoyed by all.

Great way to explore this wonderful part of Italy
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
Self guided tour with a lot of useful information about places to investigate. Clear route instructions and maps. One bike had a problem with the gears but was quickly sorted by the agents, who were very attentive. A good selection of hotels, and BikeTours was able to negotiate a different hotel for our last night, which was helpful (our request to change not due to the quality of the hotel originally offered, but for some personal practical reasons)

A wonderful tour of Umbria Valley
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
My friends and I have completed two similar bike tours (bike rental, luggage moved, etc). This was our first tour in Italy. Previously we had done a point A to point B ride. This tour consisted of only three location bases with day trips out and back. The routing was done in an attempt to keep us off as many of the main roads as possible. There were times when going onto busy streets was unfortunately necessary. The area does have some hills. None of us are avid riders and we managed the journey which did include walking up some of the grades. The maps provided mostly clear directions (we had a couple missed turns). It's a good idea to have a phone with a map as a back up. The accommodations were excellent: clean rooms, friendly staff, and great food.
The owner of the tour company personally met with us, went over the maps, and made any needed adjustments on the bikes before our journey. The bicycle were of good quality (mine was a 27 speed hybrid) and we were provided with one pannier for each bike.
Overall a great experience.- What was the date of your tour?

Fun week in Umbria!
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
This was our third self-guided bike tour with Bike Tours and once again they did not disappoint. The Umbrian countryside was beautiful, the food and wine the best and the people very friendly. We especially enjoyed the Country House and Carla’s hospitality. Her meals were wonderful and we enjoyed meeting her family. Paulo (local tour rep) was also great and he and his wife were able to make some last minute changes for us to take advantage of the weather. Only a couple of climbs all week although the last one into Assisi is a doozy.
