About Bike Riding Tuscany

We Are Happy to Guide You

At Bikeriding Tuscany, our passion for cycling isn’t just a job — it’s our lifestyle. We’ve built our tours around the simple joy of riding and the beauty of sharing the Tuscany area with travelers from all over the world.

When you ride with us, you’re not just joining a tour, you’re stepping into our way of life. We combine cycling, culture, food, and the natural rhythms of this extraordinary region.

Are you ready to ride?

Where We Ride

We guide both small and large groups along the most scenic secondary roads in southern Tuscany. From Siena to the rolling hills of Chianti and the white gravel tracks of the famous Eroica roads, every ride is rich in history, landscapes, and unforgettable views.

Along the way, you’ll pass medieval villages, vineyards, and farmhouses, stopping for delicious homemade meals at local trattorie paired with some of Italy’s finest wines. And while Tuscany is known for its hills, we provide lightweight, state-of-the-art road bikes — plus the comfort of van support when needed.

Our philosophy is simple:

“Only the bicycle chain can give you freedom.”

What We Offer

Every traveler is different, and so is every ride. That’s why our tours are completely customizable — private, flexible, and tailored to your level of cycling, accommodation, and interests.

Here’s what you can expect when booking with us:

  • Experienced Local Guides – Discover the most beautiful roads with experts who live here.
  • Exceptional Value – Boutique service at fair rates.
  • High-Quality Bikes – Everything revolves around the ride, and we equip you with the best.
  • Flexible Booking – Direct communication with your guide and adaptable planning.
  • Private & Group Tours – Perfect for couples, families, or larger groups of friends.
  • Advanced Trips – For experienced cyclists seeking a challenge.
  • Full Support – Our van is always there when you need it.

Whether it’s your first time cycling in Tuscany or your tenth, our goal is always the same: to help you discover the thrill of this land, one ride at a time.

Two unforgettable days riding from Castello del Calcione to Florence with Luigi and Sara of Bike Riding Tuscany. Day one was gravel roads through the Tuscan hills with stunning views (~65 km, 1,000 m); day two upped the ante with singletrack through the woods and a descent into Florence (~65 km, 1,000 m). Luigi and Sara make it — warm, fluent in English, and local, so you ride with a steady stream of stories about the area. One guides while the other supports, then they swap, so you get to know both. Excellent e-MTBs, flawless logistics, and lunches at simple, authentic trattorias with great food. Perfect for fit, experienced riders — you don't need to be a technical specialist; they pitch it just right and look after you throughout. Grazie, Luigi and Sara — we'll be back! — Rutger & Krik

Luigi and Sara offer the best local knowledge and friendly service for bike tours in Tuscany. We hired gravel bikes for 4 days and were provided with great routes covering all the best bits. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

We have just returned home from a fantastic, self-guided gravel biking trip with Bikeriding Tuscany. We organised flights and transfers, Luigi and Sara at Bikeriding Tuscany organised a superb spa hotel (B&B) in Rapolano and provided four, customised one-day routes of 80-103k, plus Canyon Grizl gravel bike rental. Luigi and Sara provided an outstanding, friendly and caring service to ensure our trip was memorable and we could not have asked any more from them. I wholeheartedly recommend Bikeriding Tuscany and we plan to do another trip with them next year!

Goated bike rental. Luigi is the man. Super friendly, great advices and good vibes. Bike in tip top condition (2 Grizl, 2 Grails). Picked up the bikes in the morning, and brought them back in the evening. Smooth, efficient. Will go again if i need to rent a bike in the area.

Luigi from BikeRiding Tuscany saved my participation in the Gran Fondo Strade Bianche with a quick and difficult repair to my bike. I am extremely grateful for his expertise.
