Arrive & Depart At Any Time

Your Day by Day Itinerary

  1. Day 1 - Arrival in Florence

    Arrive into Florence airport and we will be on hand to take you to your hotel in Florence. Spend the afternoon exploring the capital of Tuscany and take an evening stroll on the Ponte Vecchio. If it’s romance you’re after, there are an abundance of restaurants sitting on the banks of the Ponte Vecchio, where you can wine and dine by the reflecting sunset.

  2. Day 2 - Explore Florence

    Today is a chance to immerse yourself in Florence and discover Renaissance art, spectacular architecture, and the best gelato in the city. Marco Ottaviano Il Gelato on Via Matteo Palmieri is the place to go as they use seasonal fruits and not too much sugar. Spend some time visiting Michelangelo's David, wonder in the magnificence of the Duomo and watch life go by in this extraordinary city.

  3. Day 3 - Cycle to Radda in Chianti

    50km total distance

    Today's route is a beautiful 50km taking in some climbing and some descents through this undulating and hilly countryside. You will make your way to Radda in Chianti, a beautiful medieval town, perched on a hill with stunning views. Deep tasting, spicy and peppery olive oil, is a feature of Chianti and you will notice colour and texture changes as you ride through the region. From there, you will cycle through the Cypress tree lined roads of Greve in Chianti and Panzano until you reach your hotel just outside of Gaiole in Chianti.

  4. Day 4 - Cycle to San Gimignano

    57km total distance

    Today is one of our favourite Tuscan routes. You will head west through quiet Chianti countryside towards Poggibonsi. Then it's a climb to San Gimignano, a sight for any seasoned traveler, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Encircled by its medieval walls and with its hilltop views, 12th century skyscrapers loom over the Piazza della Cisterna. We recommend a plate of Pappardelle, a favourite in Tuscany, in one of the numerous restaurants and cafes in the town. Your overnight stay will be just outside the walls of this famous city.

  5. Day 5 - Cycle to Siena

    40km total distance

    Today's ride takes you further into the heart of Tuscany on your way to Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Piazza del Campo is the highlight with its open square featuring the Mangia Tower. If you happen to be in Siena on 2 July and 16 August, one of the most thrilling Tuscan experiences is Palio di Siena. The horse race has been run since the 14th century and the Piazza del Campo is turned from a square with people milling about, to a horse track featuring bareback riders being thrown from their mounts in ever tightening turns.

  6. Day 6 - Departure

    Today we bid you arrivederci and will organise for your transfer back to Florence. Remember all of our trips can be tailored so if you want to spend longer in the stunning Tuscan countryside, we can organise that for you. LOIRE VALLEY AND CHATEAU TOUR.png

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

We recently travelled to Tuscany with Love Velo, I honestly couldn't recommend this company more. The hotels they chose were incredible, everything worked seemlessly e.g. Transfers, and the bike hire was excellent. I have already recommended Love Velo to friends and we look forward to another trip with them.
