  Unforgettable Experience.  - Cycling through the heart of Tuscany with Tuscany Cycling Tours and our guide, Jason, was one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had while traveling. I did the... read more tour with my adult son, and we are both in excellent condition.

From the moment we clipped in, Jason set the tone with his warm energy, expert pacing, and deep knowledge of the region. He knew exactly when to push us with a hill and when to slow things down so we could take in the postcard views—rolling vineyards, stone farmhouses, cypress-lined roads it was pure Tuscan magic.

The bikes were top-notch and well-maintained, and the route was thoughtfully curated: quiet backroads, minimal traffic, and just the right mix of climbs and cruisy stretches. Jason was not only a great cyclist but also a storyteller—he brought the landscape to life with local history, culture, and plenty of laughs along the way.

The grand finale? A private wine tasting that felt straight out of a dream. Sipping Chianti surrounded by the vineyards we had just cycled through was the perfect ending to an already unforgettable day. It wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience.

Can’t recommend Jason and Tuscany Cycling Tours enough. Five stars all the way.

  A worthwhile experience - We had an incredible day on this tour. It was truly the highlight of our two week trip across Italy. Chris gave us his personal attention throughout the day, even... read more supplying us with rain jackets when the weather briefly took a turn for the worst. He was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge on a wide-range of subjects: the history of the region, cycling, the food and, of course, the wine. Better yet, he was great company and very easy to talk to. It was clear he puts a painstaking amount of attention to detail in planning out and customizing the various tours he offers. If you're looking for a fun way to get out of the city and experience the Tuscan wine country, I can't recommend this tour enough. It was well worth the time and money.
