  We spent 10 days in the Tuscany area but the day we toured Chianti with Elizabeth, was by far our favorite day. She took us to two stunningly beautiful wineries... read more where she shared her own knowledge of wine, which was extensive and so very helpful. She customized the tour for us, was great company, and kept us safe. She knew the people at the wineries very well and was clearly respected by them all. We will definitely be back for more with this company!

  What a wonderful day - the highlight of our trip so far! We arranged for a bike wine tour. The booking process was easy and they provided fast... read more and complete information. The staff speaks fluent English. The bikes were new graphite gravel bikes - top end equipment. The ride was perfect - ride 10k, stop for cappuccino and pastries. Ride 3-4k and stop for photos and a wine tasting. 5k to a long leisurely Italian lunch overlooking a winery.then another tasting and back to the shop. We had a private tour so controlled the pace and the stops. We had the pleasure of having Elizabeth Miller, the owner, as our guide. Not only does Elizabeth know the bike routes (she designed them), as a sommelier, we learned more about wines than we ever expected. Do book here. They can offer customized tours if you don’t see what you like. Consider e-bikes if the hills (there are a lot in this region) worry you, or for inexperienced riders.

  Very professional and patient staff. Luca did an excellent job telling us about the. stupid sites and guiding us at a perfect speed. Wonderful scenery, delicious lunch and educational wine... read more tour/tasting. Wouldn’t change a thing.

  Fantastic personalized experience from Elizabeth and her crew. High end Pinarello road bikes available so you can leave your bike at home. Quality helmets included in price to make your... read more packing even easier! Delivered bikes to our hotel in Montalcino which is about an hour from the shop.
But best part of service was that they came all the way back the next day, at short notice, to exchange a bike (my fault, not theirs). EXCELLENT!

  Our first experience of ebikes was a great success, thanks to Elizabeth (and the amazing Tuscan countryside).
We were well equipped and instructed and enjoyed a guided tour without the... read more stress of all those hills.
Elizabeth adapted the tour to our comfort and confidence and was a wealth of knowledge about the area.
Highly recommended.

  An excellent experience hiring top of the line Pinarello disc road bikes. Thanks Elizabeth and team!

  Hired a Pinarello Gan Disk for 5 days. Bike performed flawlessly on all roads including gravel roads. Great cycling!

  I am just back from a terrific five days riding in and around Florence and Siena.
Everything worked very well from my side and Elizabeth and the whole team... read more were very good.
I enjoyed riding the bikes loaned and David and Mark did a fine job of guiding as well as adapting route’s to fit the circumstances and riders. Gabriel, was a reassuring back up.
Think it might have been advisable to have either suggested avoiding Strada Bianci routes or to have offered a change of bikes or at least tyres that were more suited for purpose for that day.
Other than that, excellent and thank you.

  Absolutely loved the road bikes - such stunning bikes and the service from Elizabeth and her team was second to none. Will definitely want to return to do a bike... read more tour with this company!

  Top notch tour! - Top notch tour! Elizabeth is a great tour guide, and even can draw on her sommelier experience if need be! Also worth noting that the bikes were in top condition... read more (no rubbing brakes/squeaky chain)! Highly recommend.

  Easy e-Bike tour with wine tastings, lunch, and an amazing guide - We did. guided e-bike tour in the Chianti hills. Our guide, Luca, was the nicest guide you can imagine. Even though we arrived almost an hour late (traffic around Florence... read more can be slow) it was "no problem". We biked a section of the famous Eroica route, then off to a medieval castle with a winery (and the obligatory tasting). Luca was not only a great bike guide, he also knew about the history of the castle and the entire region. After a few more up and downhills, we had a late lunch (amazing pasta) and another wine tasting. On the final stretch home, it started raining, and Luca has rain capes for each of us ready. This bike tour, even if it was not very physically challenging, could not have been better!

  A huge thank you to Elizabeth, to Ricardo and the whole team at Tuscany Bicycle for the scenic and beautiful tours on great bikes like Pinarello! We hired racing bikes,... read more gravel bikes and e-bikes, the roads in the Gaiole area are amazing, nice, soft hills and with a great panorama. Thank you Tuscany Bicycle, we shall be back!

  All we hoped for an more - We did the half-day Castle ride with Lucca as our guide and it was fabulous! My wife and I are intermediate road bikers and we wanted an easy ride that... read more got us out into the country side and experiencing Tuscany. This ride was better than we hoped. It was beautiful. It was moderately easy. The views, the wine tasting, the entire experience was all that we imagined. We would encourage anyone to do this ride.

  We rented 2 great Pinarellos from Elisabeth, who throughout the process was extremely helpful. Elisabeth answered our questions immediately, provided us with maps, and the delivery and pick-up was smooth.... read more /> The bikes were great and top class - they were cleaned, oiled and ready to roll.
Tuscany Bicycle is highly recommendable, and next time we are going to rent bikes in Tuscany we will rent here.

  It was a wonderful experience!! My husband and I and my boys ( 16 and 13 years old) loved it. Elizabeth is a great guide, she knows everything about the... read more place and also she is a wine expert. Bikes are new and safe. Thanks for having us!

  Great company, awesome bike! - Hired a carbon road bike for 2 days. Great email contact with Siena who was able to get the right bike for me. My flight was delayed so they were... read more also able to arrange a hotel drop off for me as I was staying locally. Drop off was easy too. Had two great days on the bike! Thank You!!!

  I rented bikes for my whole family for a week in Tuscany. Tuscany Bicycle were great to deal with. Siena was very responsive to emails before the trip. They helped... read more me select the right sizes and answered all my questions. The bikes were delivered by Luca upon our arrival and he was helpful and friendly, orienting us to the bikes. The bikes themselves were excellent. They were well-maintained and in good condition, and they were high-end models. Pickup at the end of the rental was also smooth. Communication with Luca over whatsapp was fantastic and clear.

I looked at a couple of other rental options before selecting Tuscany Bicycle, and they were less responsive or had inferior bikes.

I 100% recommend this company and would absolutely rent from them again. I even dropped by their shop on the way out of the area so I could buy a jersey!

Great service, great bikes!

  Loved this e-bike and wine tour in Tuscany. Elizabeth and her team were responsive, fun, safe and generally made a group morning ride and wine tasting a special day for... read more us. We highly recommend using this company. Thanks Elizabeth

  Tuscany Bicycle is conveniently located in Gaiole in Chianti, with easy on-site parking, just slightly outside the centre of town.
Our travel company had been a little vague as... read more to quite what our e-bike tour would entail, however Elizabeth soon put us at our ease. We were introduced to the e-bikes and their ease of operation and after a short familiarisation around the car park we were on our way.
Elizabeth explained our route would be around 50km (!) and would take in the fabulous Tuscan countryside, a coffee stop, lunch and wine-tasting.
The e-bikes were a dream to ride and so easy to operate, taking the effort out of the steepest of hills. We were soon high in the hills and enjoying the incredible views, at one point looking over to Siena.
Our lunch stop was at a wonderful restaurant with beautifully prepared food, followed by wine tasting at Rocca Castaglioni.
A 20min ride back to the bike shop completed our day.
Highly recommended.

  Tuscany Bicycle was absolutely sensational! They brought our bikes to the villa where we were staying and after 4 glorious days of road riding, changed them out for our final... read more couple of days of gravel. When, in the midst of a ride we had a mechanical problem, they sent a mechanic to remedy the problem and keep us rolling. We will definitely engage them again when next we return to Tuscany.

  Fantastic experience - My wife and I, with our 19 and 21 year old daughters spent 10 days just outside of Gaiole in Chianti. While there, we did 3 different bike tours... read more and rented bikes with Elizabeth and her crew at Tuscany Bicycle. The castle tour allowed us to get the lay of the land around Gaiole. The gravel tour was tremendous and eye-opening experience--a great taste of the countless beautiful 'white roads' of Tuscany. I am already scheming my return to explore more white roads. We also did custom tour south of Gaiole. Elizabeth was a great guide who shared her love of bicycling and adjusted well according to the group. She is also a trained sommelier--a great resource in a country full of vineyards. Luca and Gabriele were fantastic at maintaining the bikes and providing support. The bikes are new and in great shape.

  Elisabeth took me along for many scenic and fascinating biking tours through the soft Chianti hills. The Pinarello bikes are light and great to ride.
Elisabeth is an excellent sommelier... read more with an outstanding competence in the Tuscan wines which made the tours unforgettable. We visited several wine producers & enotecas on our biking trips. The combination of biking and tasting selected wines of specific wineries together with a sommelier is unique ! We have learned about the most beautiful places in the Chianti, but also about the excellent qualitiy of Chianti wines, realizing I have neglected them in the past years. Elisabeth is very well connected in this beautiful area and recommended us many excellent restaurants or other tours in the cities. Thus, there are many reasons to come back ! I can highly recommend Elisabeth, Tuscany Bicycle!

  It’s like biking with your best friend - It is like biking with your best friend only better.

The route is fully transparent versus other companies that refused to send me a map. We visited two wineries and an exquisite luncheonette with wine and vineyard views. When it started drizzling our guide handed out ponchos keeping with the theme to provide for our enjoyment and be prepared. I highly recommend you book Luca, Elizabeth or the Tuscany Bicycle team

  This experience was a highlight of Tuscany. The support given by the team, the local wineries accessible, the countryside and the family bonding and laughs as we rode from place... read more to place.
Highly recommended

  Elizabeth and her team provided an excellent bike tour for our group of 7. We were a group mixed between electric and regular bikes, and she was able to ensure... read more that we all managed the trip equally well. She even had a van follow us and carry belongings. She brought us to a wine tasting, and thanks to her expertise and connections, was able to ensure we tasted the highest quality wine available. Based on her local knowledge, I also relied on Elizabeth for lunch reservations and was not disappointed!

  A “must” when in Tuscany - This was one of our best days of an amazing trip to Italy. Elizabeth and Rafaele took us on an e-bike ride up to a castle and on to a... read more wonderful lunch and wine tasting. They were both warm and incredibly knowledgeable about the region, cycling and wine. For flatlanders like us, the e-bikes were a must on the steeper grades. We rode through sun and rain, staying dry-ish with ponchos provided by the company. Such a fun day that we will talk about for a long time.

  We had a fabulous trip (8 friends and riders from US, Australia, SA and UK met in Tuscany for five days riding and eatingand a little wine), organized expertly by... read more Elizabeth and her team of guides, David and Mark. Elizabeth’s patience and partnership in moving our trip from 2020 to 2021 and then again to 2022 to accommodate us through the pandemic with zero hassle or additional costs are testament to her professionalism and integrity. And the trip when it finally happened did not disappoint one bit! Excellent riding, wonderful accommodations and Tuscan food every day to dream of. I cannot recommend Elizabeth strongly enough.

The white roads... read more are bucket-list stunning, and there's no better way to tackle them than on one of Tuscany Bicycle's exceptional steeds.
