Your Tuscany Guided Adventure

Your Day by Day Itinerary

  1. Day 1 - Florence

    Arrive in Florence, a city so incredibly captivating that it will leave you enchanted.

    In the morning, we will transfer you out of the busy roads and to a town called Signa.

Pass the Church of Sant'Andrea on your way to Vinci, birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci. Your afternoon will be leisurely, where you will have the freedom to explore the Museo Leonardiano and surrounding town.

  3. Day 3 - Lucca to Barga

    37km total distance

    Your route today begins in the Province of Lucca after a 1 hour private transfer. To get to the medieval hilltop village of Barga, there is a gradual climb. However, the sparkling Serchio River and beautiful valley to the mythical Devil's Bridge are beautiful enough to motivate you onward. If you struggle with the steeper section near Barga, the support vehicle can provide friendly assistance. Your reward is the views from the top of hill, onlooking the Pania della Croce, and once in Barga, treat yourself to a Tuscan dinner.

Castelnuovo di Garfagnana was built in the 13th century, and features many historic buildings one of which contains the historic cake and chocolate shop.

What our Cyclists Say

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. I admit that I'm one of many people who have taken to booking holidays and flights direct to save a few quid. But when planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
