Few things in this world live up to the hype. But everything you've ever heard about Tuscany is true. It's not a destination - it's an experience. Bike routes lined with cypress trees  overlooking a patchwork of vineyards below will stop you in your tracks. And no view will compare to that view ... until you round the next bend and see another. It's a wonder anyone ever finishes the rides. And that's only the scenery you'll see - imagine the wines and the flavors you'll taste and discover!

This trip for two is for 6 days and 5 nights. Ride, relax and savor every drop of this vintage BACKROADS experience. Pedal our favorite Tuscan roads with ample shuttle support. Luxuriate at handpicked hotels that represent Tuscany's finest. Taste critically acclaimed wines with a local sommelier. Discover idyllic hilltop towns brimming with medieval and Renaissance architecture. 

This trip is designed for two adults, but BACKROADS offers a similar itinerary for families, and you are welcome to change the trip and/or add additional paying guests.  If you fancy a BACKROADS family excursion in Maine, or France, or Bhutan instead, you are welcome to apply the cost of this one toward the trip you prefer.
