Gravel Bike Tour Siena to Rome

Cycling to Rome on gravel

DISCOVER THE AMAZING GRAVEL ROADS OF TUSCANY AND NOT ONLY!!!

This Gravel bike tour Siena to Rome tour was born immediately after the spring COVID lockdown in 2020. 

Simona and I had been thinking about this tour for three years but were always too busy during the “normal” working seasons.

Beginning of September 2020, as soon as the lockdown was over we took advantage and left from Siena to Rome!!

We equipped our bikes with the luggage racks and spent 4 amazing day ride in complete freedom.

Cycling on paved, gravel roads and some else on the Francigena way. 

Gravel Bike tour Siena to Rome is plan on the most beautiful itinerary: from the Chianti area to the Orcia Valley crossing village like Pienza, Pitigliano, Tuscania, Sutri, Sorano until to Rome .

Arrived in Rome cycling on path by the Tevere river, ending our tour in Vaticano square… this was incredibly exciting!!!

Now we like to share this amazing adventure in an unforgettable tour.

Exceptional self guided tour. I highly recommend for all levels (but especially for a road cyclist). This is the tour company to book with! Bikes - excellent high end bikes. I rode a Canyon Ultimate CF SL Ultegra - light and fast and we'll tuned with new tires. My wife road the e-mountain bike which she really enjoyed. Routes - beautiful. We did 50-60km a day. Rapolano de Terme, Pienza, Montalcino, Siena and Castellini in Chianti. Varied terrain, vineyards, great climbs and beautiful medieval towns. Extremely well thought out. All on quiet roads. Hotels - all 3 and 4 stars with loads of character. The ones with pools were our favourites. All of the hotels were able to let us check in very early (it was hot so we rode as early as we could manage). Hotels all came with breakfast. Really great. Service - Luigi was a gem. Easy to contact, quick to communicate (before we came and during the tour) and passionate about cycling. He gave us a lot of great recommendations to help maximize our tour. I cannot say enough positive things about this trip and Bike Riding Tuscany. This was truly memorable. Highly recommended.

I was on a trip around the world and stopped in Italy. A friend recommended BikeRidingTuscany to me for an unforgettable experience and it didn’t let down. They planned a custom 1 day gravel ride for me that took us from Rapolano Terme to Sienna and back. The pace was perfect and they were gracious with any requests for breaks or stops for water/food. I enjoyed myself so much that I extended my stay to do a run on the gravel amongst the beautiful sunflowers. If you’re adventurous, and seeking some safe fun riding, this is your team

We had an incredible day of cycling through the Tuscan countryside with Luigi. He was absolutely amazing - he picked us up at the train station, took us to his workshop where he gave me a fantastic bike (Canyon), and we set off for a magical day in the countryside. Luigi planned an incredible route and was our knowledgeable host and guide through the ride, constantly making sure that my brother and I were doing well and having fun. I spent nearly 2 weeks in Italy, and this was the highlight, and can't wait to return and do a longer trip with him. The entire day was so memorable, thanks to Luigi!

So easy and flexible! Luigi the bike shop owner, really cares for his bikes and chooses the very best. He is so very flexible with the rental times and the bikes run like a charm! To top things off Luigi is just a really nice guy :)

Mio marito ed io, abbiamo conosciuto Luigi perché abbiamo noleggiato da lui delle gravel per avventurarci sulle strade bianche dell’Eroica. Da subito siamo rimasti sorpresi dall’alta qualità delle biciclette, cosa non scontata quanto effettui un noleggio – spesso trovi biciclette di scarsa qualità e maltenute. Data la sua grande disponibilità nel condividere informazioni ed indicazioni abbiamo anche avuto modo di capire quanto sia una risorsa preziosa per organizzare prossimamente un bike tour guidato. Infatti , come spesso accade a chi non nasce in un luogo dandolo per scontato, Luigi conosce i percorsi più belli da percorrere in bici che ci ha descritto con tale dovizia di particolari e di passione da farci percepire quale debba essere l’emozione nel seguirlo su tali percorsi. Torneremo presto per condividere nuove emozioni, scenari ed avventure.

We had an amazing time with Gigi & Sara in Tuscany!! They are so fun & took great care of us. Tuscany was stunning. Besides cycling, we had 3 evenings of cooking lessons with fantastic chef Luisa. It was a perfect vacation! Highly recommend. We’ll be signing up for more tours with them.
