    Fantastic trip with amazing hotels locations

    Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy

    Did this trip unguided and my spouse and adult children (and significant others). While the hills were tough definitely doable for most (spouse was on e-bike). The hotel locations in historic city centers was the highlight. Scenery was spectacular. We did take the recommended day off in Oriveto which was a hit.

    What An Adventure!!

    Florence to Rome

    It was an amazing way to experience Umbria! We were on the self-guided tour from Florence to Rome. There were four of us, all women, and we had the BEST time! It was beautiful, we saw things we could not have seen any other way. We had random experiences that couldn’t have happened on a train or in a car. It was HOT!! The first two days were around 100° F and that was tough. Two of us were on E-bikes and we were super grateful for that! The E-bikes were pedal assist, so we still were pedaling all the time. Considering how hilly it was, including one legitimate mountain pass, combined with the heat I don’t know that I would’ve survived on a regular bike. The hotels were all nice, having our luggage moved each day for us was great. We had an app that gave us turn by turn directions, which was also its own adventure. I think the only really tricky part is that it can be very difficult to find places open for lunch in the midday in Italy. We weren’t as ready for that! Thank goodness for the kebab shop that saved us the first day and for Panini Despetti the second day! Overall, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever asked my body to do; it was also the greatest adventure!! A dream come true for me and I’m so grateful for all of it! Most of all I’m grateful for the friends I convinced to join me on this wild ride!!!

    Beautiful, unique

    Florence to Rome

    This tour was a great distance, deal, and experience. We loved visiting the small towns and exploring the unique parts of the countryside. The app was helpful for navigation and the accommodations were nice, although they varied a lot in their offerings and quality in each place. I wish we had more information about food and town stops along the way - many restaurants were closed as we moved through the towns, and in 105 degree F heat, the lack of access to rest stops and water was very challenging!
