My husband and I would like to do a cycling trip through Tuscany, anyone visits they recommend? We're both pretty athletic and I take a day 4-5 / not more than 20-25 miles a day biking tour through the Tuscan countryside this spring. We prefer to take the recommendation of someone on a company tour to weed through all there. Thank you for your help!
A few years ago we just rent bikes in Florence maps have been provided and it took off. Stayed one night in a hostel in the middle of nowhere between Florence and SanGiminiano and the other night at a hotel in Siena. There was no tour organizer, just rental.We bike had no problems whatsoever, except, of course, Italy, signs of stopping when you need it most, but your intuition long way.
You do not need a tour organizer, just fly to Italy, rent a bike and go. Tuscany is so densely populated that you always find food and shelter so that you do not need to carry a lot and simply rent a bike. If you get good cards in advance best.
Our three days were unforgettable, we enjoyed it and it was much easier than I thought. We had overnight shelter loan booking on us, as we looked at the maps and figured good places, but you could probably also find accommodation without booking in advance. It is not difficult to book a cheap flight, rent a bike and go. Italy is on the outside but dysorganized wverything order look like thats the way to Italy.
Of course, you can arm yourself with a lot of tricks from bottles clothing rain-but you hear less of Siena is a must, good in winter Florence on Sunday morning, say Florentians, as so full of tourists. Pisa and Lucca and of course too - The Tuscany is beautiful.
If you can learn Italian for a few hours, I had for about five hours without a study of language has never received more than this does. The Italians call, if they have an idea of what you are saying.
If English is your native language you need a cassette pronunciation exercises understandable, but a few simple phrases and sentences take you far.
Bon viaggio!
