Overview

The Via Francigena Cycling from Siena to Rome Tour is an incredible opportunity to ride Italy’s ancient pilgrimage road to Rome, enjoying the villages, landscapes, and historical monuments along the way. The tour begins in Siena, one of the most wonderful towns in Italy, full of fascinating architecture, and it all centres around a shell-shaped square in the centre of town where a biannual horse race is held. The tour offers a mesmerizing self-guided adventure with moderate difficulty. The tour includes 8 nights of accommodation in 3-5-star hotels and B&Bs with pleasant rooms, ensuite bathrooms, and excellent locations. Rental bike delivery and pick up, as well as all luggage transfers during the biking days, are included. Digital route guides, notes, maps, detailed information packs, and 24/7 telephone guidance and support are provided. The tour is customizable and prices depend on group size, room types, itinerary customizations, and date of travel. Optional extras include bike and biking equipment rental (hybrid bike, e-bike, helmet, rear bags), additional nights before or after the tour, and airport transfers. The tour is rated as 3/5 difficulty, with longer distances over varied terrain, but most trails are in good condition. Travel insurance that covers cycling is required. The best time to travel for this tour is from April to October, though July and August can be hot.
