Authentic Experience We invite you to change pace and scenery, feel a cool breeze, breathe some fresh air and really see Tuscany! Being the longest outdoor tour company has allowed us to really refine our products and bring you the best of what Tuscany has to offer. Why choose us Our passion for both outdoor activities and Tuscany has allowed us to create itineraries and relationships that have withstood the test of time and made our tours a “personal” experience for many of our guests. Our itineraries often include stops, breaks or even lunch at a friend’s house and not a tourist venue. The recent addition of our 100% Florentine business partner that helps us do business in Italy, has greatly expanded our group of friends and family that we will take you to meet. Almost a private tour On our tours we will take you behind doors and gates that can only be unlocked and opened by We Like Tuscany! You will meet our friends on the road and in their houses where we are invited in to see how the Florentines live. You will use the oil at lunch that we use in our kitchen back home and drink the wine that we have on our dinner table for our best friends. By the end of the tour we hope that you will not think of us as just a bike tour supplier, but as new friends that you have in Tuscany!

s t h g i l h Hi g - Great Value -available am or pm -view from Piazzale Michelangelo - Beautiful surroundings of Florence - winery tour with wine and olive oil tasting

The ride starts out with a 0.75 mile uphill ride at the doorway to the Chianti countryside, but frequent stops will be made to enjoy the views on the way up to the top of the hill. Once we have gotten to the top, we will be riding our bikes through the neighborhoods of the local Florentine nobility as we make our way to a famous Renaissance villa tucked away in the hills behind Florence. We will stop and tour the villa before ducking into the ancient wine cellar to do our wine and olive oil tasting accompanied by a light Tuscan snack of local products. All products are produced on premises and only sold locally. Our return leg back to Florence will take us by the spectacular Piazzale Michelangelo where we will stop for pictures with one of the best views of Florence. Then it is all downhill and back into Florence, coming into the San Niccolò area then riding to our favorite gelateria to top off a perfect half day outing!

Q. What type of bikes do you use? We use good quality hybrid or commuter style bikes with 24 speeds. Q. Do I have to be fit to do the tour? Most of our tours are slowly paced with plenty of pauses and water breaks along the way. It’s a bike ride, not a race. And we guarantee a thoroughly enjoyable day. We want you to enjoy the tour to the fullest, however, a basic level of fitness is suggested. Q. Do you welcome non cycling partners? Yes, we do! We can also offer some alternative activities. 4

- for bike lovers - longer ride - stop in Fiesole - Lunch and Winery Tour

With the departure right from our office in Florence, this is what we like to call our “green” tour: meaning no shuttle vans and no support vehicles, no carbon footprint - just you, your bike and your bilingual guide. Your guide is there to show you the way, point out the sights, and fix any flats or malfunctions you may have along the way. The tour includes a scenic ride up to the picturesque town of Fiesole, located to the northeast of Florence. Once you arrive in Fiesole you get to see one of the best views of Florence. The ride then continues further into the hills where you will get to eat at one of our favorite restaurants in the area - which is claimed by many of our guests to be one of the best meals of their trip! On the return trip back to Florence, we will stop at a family run local Chianti vineyard where we will see where their wine is made and stored, along with where they store their personal stash of olive oil. Tasting of both is encouraged! The return ride to Florence is mostly downhill and we will get you back to the meeting point no later than 5:00 p.m.

FAQs . . . Q. What are the age limitations? We have had all ages participate in our tours. Of course, if you want to be the driver you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving license. Q. Who drives the car? What if I do not know how to use a manual gearbox? Basically, you drive the car and we guide you in our own car. However, if you do not feel comfortable with the manual gearbox we can provide chauffeur service with extra fee.

This is the real driving tour that allows you to cruise around in the picturesque Tuscan landscape in an original vintage Italian car: the legendary Fiat 500! We’ll start from our meeting point in the center of Florence, exit out through the walls of the city and drive towards the panoramic Piazzale Michelangelo to admire a unique view of Florence from the picturesque church of San Miniato. Then we’ll go straight into the Tuscan hills with a cruise through the most beautiful and hidden roads of the Tuscan countryside. We’ll head towards Fiesole, a lovely Italian town next to Florence which still shows traces of its ancient past, continuing into the countryside. On our way back, we’ll again head into the elegant neighborhoods of Florence for a tasty stop at a local familty owned trattoria where you will have the chance to enjoy a delicious Tuscan lunch accompanied by local wines. All food served at the trattoria is made with fresh ingredients and gives you a taste of the true (non-touristy) Tuscan cuisine. After lunch we will be ready to enjoy a final ride on our Fiat 500 back into the center of Florence.

Q. How do we get in contact among cars? We have interconnected walkie talkies in each car and we are setting up a GPS tracking system for our tours. Q. Am I free to choose the route?

Now we’re cycling on water too! Enjoy a fun ride on the water surface down the Arno river while discovering some of the enchanting attractions and monuments the center of Florence has to offer. On the waterbike tour, you’re not only avoiding museum lines, but you’re also avoiding traffic jams and overcrowded spots. We will provide equipment designed to turn a standard mountain-bike into a water-bike. The whole kit is packed in a small rucksack containing the tools. Such a system is covered with a world patent; in the USA, thanks to its novelty and technique, it was awarded the industrial invention patent. The true innovation in this project is that anything necessary to the assembling of the SHUTTLE-BIKE® is kept in a small rucksack extremely compact in size and weight. You will love every second of this exciting adventure on the river, overwhelmed by the beauty of Florence from a very new perspective!
