Trip Overview
The Tour of Tuscany is one of our most spectacular European cycling routes, taking in the Renaissance cities of Pisa, Florence, and Siena across three challenging but unforgettable days. With over 4,400m of climbing through the rolling Tuscan hills, vineyards, and olive groves, this is a ride that rewards every pedal stroke with jaw-dropping scenery. The route takes you along quiet roads through medieval hilltop towns, past cypress-lined drives, and through some of the most photographed landscapes in the world. Evenings are spent in characterful Italian hotels with world-class food. This is cycling as it should be — hard on the legs, easy on the soul.
Who is this for?
Suited to strong leisure cyclists or regular club riders. The daily distances and climbing require solid fitness — you should be comfortable on hilly rides of 100km+. The stunning scenery makes the effort worthwhile.

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
