This tour brings you the best of the Tuscany region of Italy … and now you can do it with ease … by electric bike! Visit Florence, Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano and Bagno Vignoni.

The hotels are quite exquisite. Each was carefully selected … not only for its superior quality but also to ensure that you are always staying within the city walls so you can stroll the narrow streets, visit the shops, see the sights at your leisure, and immerse yourself in all the day-to-day Italian experiences that make this a true adventure.
