This trip does just that, as you choose your destination each day from our selected routes.

Pedal through the quintessential Tuscan landscape of vineyards and olive groves, ride around the leaning tower of Pisa and the beautiful Miracle square. Go for a spin on top of Lucca’s monumental city walls and up the Serchio river cycle path to visit some wonderful villas and gardens. Continue on country lanes to Vinci, Leonardo’s birthplace, and visit two museums for real hands-on insight into the life and mind of this genius. The Medici Villa of Cerreto Guidi.
