An Memorable Journey through Tuscany - Embarking on the Castle Ride with Tuscany Bicycle was a truly captivating experience that immersed our vacation group in the rich history and breathtaking landscapes of Tuscany. From the moment... read more we set off on our e-bikes, our knowledgeable guide, Elizabeth, led us on an amazing journey through the enchanting countryside.
Pedaling up the winding roads, we discovered the hidden gems of Tuscany, including the magnificent villas that dot the landscape. The carefully planned route allowed us to explore both gorgeous vistas and some off-the-beaten-path treasures, making the ride a remarkable adventure for our group.

The Castle Ride to the breathtaking Brolio Castle provided an exquisite blend of physical activity, cultural exploration, and an eye-full of natural beauty. As we cycled through the picturesque Tuscan hills to get there, the sight of vineyards, olive groves, wildflowers with butterflies dancing among them, stretched out before us, creating a postcard-perfect backdrop.

One aspect that truly stood out during the Castle Ride was the impeccable service and expertise provided by guide Elizabeth (and her trusted counterpart, Luca) of Tuscany Bicycle. Our guide’s passion for the region and love for cycling was contagious, as she shared fascinating anecdotes and tailored the pace to suit the group’s needs. The bikes provided were of excellent quality, well-maintained, and comfortable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride throughout the journey. The team’s commitment to safety, along with their in-depth knowledge of the local area, instilled a sense of confidence and allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves in taking in the breathtaking views. (And yes, many stops for photo ops!). Once we reached the castle’s wine tasting room, the pinnacle of our 3 hour tour, it was like the cherry (or should I say grape) on top of the experience. I have to say it was overall a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and fun, leaving lasting memories. Grazi, Elizabeth. 🙏

  Elizabeth and her team are an absolute joy! The rental fleet is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the upkeep and maintenance are bar-none. I can't recommend highly enough. The white roads... read more are bucket-list stunning, and there's no better way to tackle them than on one of Tuscany Bicycle's exceptional steeds.

  great e bikes and Gabriele fed us too!! - We rented bikes while in Gaiole, Chianti. Gabriele delivered our bikes to Castello di Meleto. He was very friendly and helpful. The bikes were great and so much fun!! He... read more also went above and beyond by dropping pizza off for us on his way home since the castle restaurant was closed one day and we had nowhere to eat! So kind and very appreciated!!!

  Easy e-Bike tour with wine tastings, lunch, and an amazing guide - We did. guided e-bike tour in the Chianti hills. Our guide, Luca, was the nicest guide you can imagine. Even though we arrived almost an hour late (traffic around Florence... read more can be slow) it was "no problem". We biked a section of the famous Eroica route, then off to a medieval castle with a winery (and the obligatory tasting). Luca was not only a great bike guide, he also knew about the history of the castle and the entire region. After a few more up and downhills, we had a late lunch (amazing pasta) and another wine tasting. On the final stretch home, it started raining, and Luca has rain capes for each of us ready. This bike tour, even if it was not very physically challenging, could not have been better!

  Amazing bikes. Got a Pinarello F12. Stunning. Service was great. Collection and delivery to the hotel. Highly recommended it!

  I am just back from a terrific five days riding in and around Florence and Siena.
Everything worked very well from my side and Elizabeth and the whole team... read more were very good.
I enjoyed riding the bikes loaned and David and Mark did a fine job of guiding as well as adapting route’s to fit the circumstances and riders. Gabriel, was a reassuring back up.
Think it might have been advisable to have either suggested avoiding Strada Bianci routes or to have offered a change of bikes or at least tyres that were more suited for purpose for that day.
Other than that, excellent and thank you.

  Amazing day out, biking, wine, scenery, highly organised company - Amazing bike and wine tour. We had ebikes which made the Tuscan hills much easier. Elizabeth was amazing and organised all 18 of us on our bike tour. Great bikes,... read more staff all knowledgeable about locality.

  Tuscany Bicycle is conveniently located in Gaiole in Chianti, with easy on-site parking, just slightly outside the centre of town.
Our travel company had been a little vague as... read more to quite what our e-bike tour would entail, however Elizabeth soon put us at our ease. We were introduced to the e-bikes and their ease of operation and after a short familiarisation around the car park we were on our way.
Elizabeth explained our route would be around 50km (!) and would take in the fabulous Tuscan countryside, a coffee stop, lunch and wine-tasting.
The e-bikes were a dream to ride and so easy to operate, taking the effort out of the steepest of hills. We were soon high in the hills and enjoying the incredible views, at one point looking over to Siena.
Our lunch stop was at a wonderful restaurant with beautifully prepared food, followed by wine tasting at Rocca Castaglioni.
A 20min ride back to the bike shop completed our day.
Highly recommended.

  Incredible experience. From my first contact with Elizabeth and determining the bike and the route, the entire team made it seem less. They connected me with My guide, Mark, that... read more put together an amazing day of gravel riding on the L’Eroica route and some Strade Bianchi sections. The most perfect day I have had on the bike. Pictures will never tell the story. This was an epic experience that I will treasure forever. Thank you Elizabeth and the entire team!

  Fantastic personalized experience from Elizabeth and her crew. High end Pinarello road bikes available so you can leave your bike at home. Quality helmets included in price to make your... read more packing even easier! Delivered bikes to our hotel in Montalcino which is about an hour from the shop.
But best part of service was that they came all the way back the next day, at short notice, to exchange a bike (my fault, not theirs). EXCELLENT!

  Hired a Pinarello Gan Disk for 5 days. Bike performed flawlessly on all roads including gravel roads. Great cycling!

  Tuscany Bicycle was absolutely sensational! They brought our bikes to the villa where we were staying and after 4 glorious days of road riding, changed them out for our final... read more couple of days of gravel. When, in the midst of a ride we had a mechanical problem, they sent a mechanic to remedy the problem and keep us rolling. We will definitely engage them again when next we return to Tuscany.

  Top notch tour! - Top notch tour! Elizabeth is a great tour guide, and even can draw on her sommelier experience if need be! Also worth noting that the bikes were in top condition... read more (no rubbing brakes/squeaky chain)! Highly recommend.

  The highlight of our trip to Tuscany was the eBike tour with Tuscany Bicycle. We were fortunate to have Elizabeth to ourselves as she guided us through the Tuscan countryside.... read more Her knowledge of the local area is amazing. Before departing, she gave us different options of where to ride. She will customize a program which is really unique for a tour operator. If you decide to ride in Tuscany, which you should, look no further than Tuscany Bicycle. Top quality bikes and helmets were provided. A real top-notch touring business!

  What a wonderful day - the highlight of our trip so far! We arranged for a bike wine tour. The booking process was easy and they provided fast... read more and complete information. The staff speaks fluent English. The bikes were new graphite gravel bikes - top end equipment. The ride was perfect - ride 10k, stop for cappuccino and pastries. Ride 3-4k and stop for photos and a wine tasting. 5k to a long leisurely Italian lunch overlooking a winery.then another tasting and back to the shop. We had a private tour so controlled the pace and the stops. We had the pleasure of having Elizabeth Miller, the owner, as our guide. Not only does Elizabeth know the bike routes (she designed them), as a sommelier, we learned more about wines than we ever expected. Do book here. They can offer customized tours if you don’t see what you like. Consider e-bikes if the hills (there are a lot in this region) worry you, or for inexperienced riders.

  A “must” when in Tuscany - This was one of our best days of an amazing trip to Italy. Elizabeth and Rafaele took us on an e-bike ride up to a castle and on to a... read more wonderful lunch and wine tasting. They were both warm and incredibly knowledgeable about the region, cycling and wine. For flatlanders like us, the e-bikes were a must on the steeper grades. We rode through sun and rain, staying dry-ish with ponchos provided by the company. Such a fun day that we will talk about for a long time.

  Chose to ride a couple days with Tuscany Bicycle and could not have had a better time. Ricardo was absolutely amazing and the best guide we could have asked for.... read more Extremely nice, personable, knowledgeable, and really made both days amazing. We did both the Chianti Villages West tour and the Gravel Tour and thankfully had Ricardo both days.

Absolutely amazing experience from the planning stages to the rides themselves. Great communication all around and the Pinarello bikes they have are top notch (now I want SRAM etap shifters). Roads were quiet with not too many cars and again, Ricardo was awesome. Wineries and lunch spots were absolutely amazing and 1000% better than anything you will find in guide books. Highly recommend this company and wish we could take Ricardo with us on other riding adventures around the world.

  Absolutely loved the road bikes - such stunning bikes and the service from Elizabeth and her team was second to none. Will definitely want to return to do a bike... read more tour with this company!

  I rented bikes for my whole family for a week in Tuscany. Tuscany Bicycle were great to deal with. Siena was very responsive to emails before the trip. They helped... read more me select the right sizes and answered all my questions. The bikes were delivered by Luca upon our arrival and he was helpful and friendly, orienting us to the bikes. The bikes themselves were excellent. They were well-maintained and in good condition, and they were high-end models. Pickup at the end of the rental was also smooth. Communication with Luca over whatsapp was fantastic and clear.

I looked at a couple of other rental options before selecting Tuscany Bicycle, and they were less responsive or had inferior bikes.

I 100% recommend this company and would absolutely rent from them again. I even dropped by their shop on the way out of the area so I could buy a jersey!

Great service, great bikes!

And the trip when it finally happened did not disappoint one bit! Excellent riding, wonderful accommodations and Tuscan food every day to dream of. I cannot recommend Elizabeth strongly enough.
