Overview

This self-guided bike tour in Italy offers the chance to discover a different side of the Bel Paese (beautiful country) - one that is quieter, more authentic, and almost mystical. As you pedal through the Tuscan countryside, a landscape of vineyards and olive groves unfolds before you. Your journey begins in Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and home to masterpieces by Michelangelo and Botticelli. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome - and this cycling adventure does just that, ending in the Eternal City. Between these two iconic destinations, you’ll explore the medieval towns of Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto, and Narni, each filled with artistic treasures and centuries-old architecture. Ride through the valleys of the Apennine Mountains, past the rolling hills surrounding Lake Trasimeno, and into the heart of Umbria. Along the way, you’ll encounter rushing rivers, dramatic gorges, and flocks of grazing sheep, all the landscapes that define the magic of cycling in Italy.
