Tuscany Bike Tour Rating

Moderate to Challenging Riding

The DuVine Tuscany bicycle trip is rated Moderate and Challenging. The epic week of cycling consists of classic Tuscan scenery (cypress trees, hill top villages, olive groves) providing you with everything from rolling terrain around Pienza, followed by hillier riding in the Crete Senesi and countryside of Chianti. In Tuscany, the majority of the cycling will be on small roads with occasional light traffic while riding around the famous villages of Montepulciano and Montalcino. Daily rides have hills (we avoid steep climbs), and the cycling distances range from 19 to 31 miles per day, with options for more riding and more hills. Everyone can do Tuscany, but it is hilly, and of course your DuVine support vehicle and guides will be around to assist you at all times.
