Sample Itinerary of a Private Tuscany Bike Tour

Explore Tuscany by Bike: Siena, Chianti, and San Gimignano

Day 1: Arrive in Tuscany

Benvenuto in Italia! Your Tuscan adventure begins in Florence, the Renaissance capital, where you’ll meet your guide in the morning. After a proper bike fitting, your guide will accompany you out of the city, navigating the lively streets and leading you into the heart of Chianti’s picturesque landscapes. Once outside Florence, the ride becomes a tranquil journey through vineyards and olive groves, leading to Greve in Chianti, the gateway to Chianti Classico wine country.

Day 2: Siena & Chianti Wine Country

Today’s ride takes you deeper into Chianti’s wine country, following scenic country roads lined with cypress trees and vineyards. Along the way, stop in Castellina in Chianti, a delightful medieval town filled with wine cellars, charming cafés, and historic stone streets.

Your final stretch into Siena is a breathtaking journey along quiet, rolling backroads. Along the way, soak in the expansive views of vineyards, hilltop villages, and golden wheat fields, a postcard-perfect Tuscan landscape.

Day 3: Siena to Montalcino

Depart Siena along scenic quiet roads with stunning city views, heading south toward Montalcino, home of the world-famous Brunello wine. The rolling terrain offers panoramic vistas, charming farmhouses, and picturesque villages before you arrive in Montalcino, a medieval hilltop town surrounded by vineyards and fortresses.

Mathew B: Self-Guided Tuscany Tour

“…We were not disappointed. In fact, we were absolutely delighted! Our eight-day, self-guided Tuscany tour was one our most memorable holidays ever. While self-guided, we benefited daily from the sage advice of Outfitter Tours’s local representative who met us every morning to pick up our luggage and review that day’s suggested itinerary. His extensive local knowledge allowed him to make suggestions for small detours for restaurants or other places worth a look. His advice was invaluable and made our tour that much more enjoyable. And considering the quality of accommodations and accompanying dinners, the tour offered great value for money spent.”

Geoff Harris: Guided TdF Tour

I always wanted to see the Tour de France, and I’ve now gone on three trips with Outfitter Bicycle Tours. Jamie and Joy’s friendly, flexible approach made riding in the Alps incredible. They tailored routes to my pace, offered great support in bad weather, and ensured we stayed in lovely accommodations with good food. Overall, one of the best values for a cycling tour.

Christina C.: Guided family tour in Tuscany

“Outfitters provided high-touch, personalized service when planning our guided tour to Chianti, Italy. Our guide, Bruno, was a world class rider and knew the region like his own back yard. Road support was always minutes away, whether we needed it or not. An e-bike was magically delivered to my 11-year-old daughter on day 3, when the climbs had become too difficult for her. We had wonderful service and support from Outfitters and I highly recommend them.”

Veronique M.: Self Guided

It was amazing! It was well organized and Bruno did a very good job. He is a nice guy, we really enjoy our trip. The hotels were great, cities and routes were very very nice. Thank you, we have really enjoyed our vacation by bike!

Dennis Orpilla: Guided Climbing Tour – Tour de France

“The team at the Outfitter Bicycle Tours put together an amazing holiday that I’ll never forget. We had great places to stay/eat and we were always in the thick of the action. The tour rides catered for riders of all levels and we somehow managed to visit my favourite team on a tour ride! I’ll be back to do it all again soon.”

Misty M.: Self-Guided in Provence & Guided in the French Alps
