What we will do
The meeting point is in the Oltrarno district of Florence at 9.15 am. Here we will be welcomed by the staff and our guide. We will be given our bikes, put on our helmets, and have a briefing on the safety rules and the itinerary we are going to follow.
During the first part of our excursion we will pass through Porta Romana, the only entrance to Florence that is still surrounded by the 13th century walls.
Then we will start to climb the first of the day's hills and, after about 700 m, we will reach the top where we can admire Florence from above. We cannot help but take a few photos of the landscapes we will encounter along ancient roads and paths.
Pedal after pedal, we will reach a Renaissance villa and afamily winery where we will be able to taste wine and extra virgin olive oil accompanied by a platter of Tuscan cold cuts. We will also be able to buy their typical products to take home a sustainable, but above all tasty souvenir.
After relaxing, we will get back in the saddle to enjoy the scenery of the Tuscan countryside for a while longer. Before returning to Florence we will pass through a small village, home of Galileo and his observatory.
We will stop at Piazzale Michelangelo to enjoy one of the best views of Florence, and then finish our descent towards the city centre. If we make it in time, the guides will accompany us to our last stop... the city's favourite ice cream parlour !
The total duration of the excursion is about 4 ½ hours during which we will cover a distance of about 11 km.
