Tuscany is fantastic. We bumped into a citrus festival in one of the small cities...๐๐๐ Also, Florence is unbelievable. I couldn't stop staring at the cathedral. The Italian food is incredible and not just the pizzas. It's worth trying the pastas, pestos, olive oils, cheeses, and fruits as well. It was exremely expensive for me, but it woth every penny. In some cities you have to be aware about the pickpocketers specially in crowded places. But other than that I couldn't recomend it enough.
Posted: July 7, 2024Experienced: April, 2024I cycled from Florence to Pisa with Intrepid in September 2023 and it was a great trip. I loved visiting the small towns in Tuscany - the food was some of the best I had in Italy. The people in the smaller towns were lovely - a lot more welcoming than in the bigger cities. While some of the hills were challenging, the support van was helpful. I would recommend doing this tour whole heartedly. I felt very safe and comfortable no matter where we were and no matter the time of day. It was under CAD3,000 thanks to a sale and you could pay for some extra excursions. Some of the accommodation wasnโt the best but it was passable. Link to the tour is here: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/ca/italy/cycle-tuscany-143943
