★★★★★ Megan K 3 months agoAn Italian Adventure!
· Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
Wow! What an incredible experience. We loved exploring the countryside and smaller towns of Italy and soaking in the local culture. Make sure you have spent time training as the biking is challenging, but well worth it. The app for the routes was easy to use and follow and the bikes we rented were high quality.

Spring in Umbria and Tuscany
· Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
The bike route was great, small country roads through towns and villages. We met friendly people at every stop we made. Drivers were courteous to cyclists.

★★★★★ Marc Lieber 10 months agoGreat 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.

Amazing trip through Tuscany

What a great trip we had! Biking through Tuscany was truly the experience of a lifetime. Although the weather wasn’t great, the accommodations that were provided, along with the bikes and equipment were 5-stars.

★★★★★ Steven Coventry 11 months agoWell organized, fantastic trip
· Florence to Rome
We really enjoyed this self guided bike tour. The trip was very well organized, and the support was excellent. The app is a great way to easily stay on the correct route. The biking was great - scenic, and the right amount of miles/elevation per day to make it seem like a good solid bike ride while leaving enough energy to explore the really interesting towns along the way.

Save some energy
· Florence to Rome
It’s not that hills are so big, it is that the grade of some of them is intense. We didn’t upgrade the bike and did ok but a lighter bike would have been nice on this trip. Save some energy for the end of each day when cultural treasures will call out to be explored. The hotels were each unique. We highly recommend the tour.

★★★★★ Elizabeth Frisbie 11 months agoOne of my best trips
· Cycling and Cooking in Tuscany
This was the best way to see the beautiful countryside of Tuscany, Our two guides, Panos and Tom, were AMAZING. This is one of the best bike trips I have been on. The terrain was very doable with Ebikes. The accommodations and food were fabulous. Everything was very well organized. I would highly recommened this trip.

Amazing trip, highly recommend
· Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
My brother wanted to do a bike trip for his 50th birthday. After months of research I finally landed on this itinerary and I am so glad we did it! Leading up to the trip bike tours staff was very responsive. The info they sent took awhile and wasn’t tailored to our trip, but they make up for that by answering all questions promptly and without making you feel like a burden!! We had some last minute changes they were very accommodating with as well. The local tour company was wonderful! They were very patient with all of our anxieties and questions. We had never done a trip like this and in a foreign country self guided was intimidating. They broke it down for us and it was amazing. The routes they gave us were stunning and we only made a few quick wrong turns. GPS app they use was helpful and easy to use and follow. We were directed to a different hotel than the one we were staying at twice which was a bit annoying but once we found our place it was lovely and so nice to jump in a cold pool after a hot long ride. Their lunch and dinner recs were delicious! And the one time we had an issue where our bike lock wouldn’t unlock they came out to our remote spot and helped! It’s such a magical place to experience by bike! They never made us feel like a burden and were so professional, accommodating and supportive. I highly recommend this trip. It’s totally worth the price.

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.

Visually stunning trip
· Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
This is a great way to see the sights of Umbria at a slower pace. The route is well designed with mostly quiet roads. There are some busy roads as you enter or leave towns but that is to be expected. There is a lot of climbing so we were glad we got the e-bikes. The hotels are mostly very good and close to the centre of town.

Hi Mark,
We appreciate that you took time to leave us your feedback! We're disappointed to hear you were not satisfied with the local assistance. It is not uncommon that some bike tours do not offer a welcome reception, however we do always provide an emergency contact number - locally as well as a Biketours emergency line which is answered 24/7. We apologize if you felt unsafe during some of your rides. While we always strive to provide the most safe & quiet routes, it is sometimes inevitable that we have to link paths on a busier stretch. We hope, despite some of inconveniences, you were able to bring home good memories from your trip. If you'd like to consider another one, we'd be happy to help point you in the direction of tours that offer a welcome reception at the start of the tour, as well as tours exclusively on designated bicycle paths. -

★★★★★ Michael Burkardt September 16, 2023Beautiful Countryside
· Tuscan Wine Classic: Pienza to Castellina via Siena
Our Bike Tour Company Cicloposse was exceptional, the best we ever had. There was not a single detail they missed, providing a booklet covering highlights for a given day of each town we'd pass through and as well as where to eat. We had a minor issue that was no fault of their own and the customer service was top notch. They're professional and knowledgeable. The only hiccup was a closed bridge that added a hour to our ride that day. Warning: unless you are a very strong rider get an E bike. Some climbs are miles long with a 14% grade.
