These bikes make biking in Tuscany, one of the world’s most famous cycling areas, accessible to all! Easily set the difficulty of your ride and decide whether you would like the bike to do most of the work, or do the workout yourself. The silent electric motor, allows you to enjoy the smells, sounds and tranquility of the Tuscan countryside.

Finally begin your ride on quiet roads away from traffic for a 20km long cycle. During the 3 hour ride, cross neat rows of vineyards, pretty olive groves, dense and shaded forests, and sleepy villages. Be surprised here and there by modern art installations along the way, adding a touch of modernity to an otherwise very traditional and unchanged Chianti landscape. Throughout the morning, stop frequently to take in the views, breathe the clean countryside air and stretch your legs.

Before sitting down to a traditional Tuscan lunch, stop to visit a beautifully restored ex-monastery dating back to the XV century. Enjoy a leisurely walk in the cloisters, see the neat Renaissance gardens and admire the stunningly beautifully chapel rich in frescoes, known as the 'little Sistine'. Jump on your bikes one last time for a short ride to a family-run winery where you will tour the estate's cellars and vineyards and learn about the wine making process. Sit down to a delicious tasting of the farms' Chianti Classico wines and olive oil accompanied by platters of tasty local products.

After lunch, get back on the van and visit a second winery for a tour of the cellars and tasting of more delicious wines. Return to the Siena train station by van after a full-day, intensive experience of some of the best that Tuscany has to offer.

On some occasions the itinerary might vary a little. In this case, the tour could be slightly modified but will maintain a similar general imprint, of the same duration and with all the same inclusions.
