We absolutely loved both places we stayed in Tuscany. They were magical! We loved all of our activities and drivers (except one grumpy one after our bike tour.)

The staff is wonderful. The room was very small and an odd set up. We didn’t LOVE the location.

This was probably our least favorite activity. We biked 40 Km which we absolutely were not expecting. And since it was in sienna, it was almost all on gravel roads. There were portions of it where we were truly off Roading uphill in the gravel, thank goodness the two of us are in decent shape and very coordinated. I honestly don’t think the average person would’ve been able to do this. The lunch we ended up having was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking and we will remember that forever! When I have done a bike tours in the past, there was a lot more scenery involved, and I was disappointed in that part of this

our guide Sarah was absolutely delightful. And our driver on the way there was also very very friendly. But the one that picked us up was Cleary annoyed because he was told to be there at 2:30 when the bikes were actually ended at three but we ended up all finishing at 3:30. He did not hide his annoyance at all

Vincenzo is an absolutely amazing driver and went above and beyond to chat with us, answer questions, and educate us. He was always very, very concerned about our comfort level etc..
