Some journeys are planned; others are carefully composed.
This three-day e-bike journey along the Via Francigena was shaped to feel light, natural, and deeply human — shared with the people you love, guided by landscapes that invite you to slow down and truly be there.
Most people visit Tuscany.
Very few truly enter it.
From the very first morning, everything is already in place. Your e-bike is prepared. Your route has been designed with precision. Every transition has been quietly orchestrated.
There is nothing to plan, nothing to question — only space to enjoy the journey as it unfolds. You wake up each day knowing the only thing ahead of you is a beautiful day to live.
This is not about cycling.
And it’s not about seeing “the highlights”
It’s about knowing how good it feels to move through Tuscany this way.
The e-bike becomes an invisible key, allowing you to move effortlessly through landscapes that most travelers never reach. You ride through medieval villages, alongside vineyards and open countryside, feeling the air change as the scenery unfolds.
Hills become gentle slopes. Distances soften. Roads that others skip suddenly become the most memorable part of the journey.
Most travelers pass through Tuscany by car or rush between cities.
You move within it — quietly, gracefully, together.
This is the difference between visiting and belonging, even if only for a few days.
You never have to wonder:
Every detail has already been filtered, refined, and tested. Everything feels balanced. Nothing feels missing.
The e-bike adapts seamlessly to you, making this journey accessible even to those who would never describe themselves as “avid bikers”.
Many guests realize, only at the end, that this is something they would have never attempted on their own — and could never have experienced in the same way.
Each day is thoughtfully planned to balance adventure, cultural experiences, and relaxation.
The journey begins in San Miniato, elegant and understated.
The countryside unfolds slowly toward Gambassi, where lunch is enjoyed without hurry, sitting together, sharing the first stories of the road.
By afternoon, San Gimignano rises ahead of you, its towers glowing softly.
You arrive relaxed, with the pleasant tiredness that comes from a day well lived.
Overnight: Boutique hotel in San Gimignano’s historic center
Rolling hills lead you to Monteriggioni, a medieval village that feels almost private in its stillness.
Lunch stretches into conversation. Time expands.
Laughter comes easily. The pace slows naturally.
Siena welcomes you later, layered, refined, and deeply atmospheric.
This is often the moment guests realize that they are not simply visiting Tuscany — they are experiencing it together.
Overnight: Carefully selected hotel near Piazza del Campo
The final stretch flows through olive groves and open countryside toward Asciano. A light, thoughtful lunch prepares you for what follows.
Natural thermal waters.
Warm, restorative, indulgent in the most discreet way.
You soak, talk, smile — and let the journey turn into memory.
End of tour: Transfer to Florence or Siena (included)
Each season brings its own character — softer light, quieter roads, different colors — but the feeling of moving through Tuscany this way remains unchanged.
This experience is ideal for those who value:
Perfect for:
This is precisely why the experience feels rare. The journey is intentionally kept intimate, allowing space, rhythm, and attention to remain personal throughout the three days.

Whatever the day brings, support is always present, discreet, and immediate — allowing you to stay fully inside the experience.
Without this level of orchestration, this journey simply wouldn’t exist. This experience is the result of years spent riding these roads, refining routes, timing, and moments that only local knowledge can shape.
Because uncertainty has already been removed.
Every guest who has traveled with us has rated their experience five stars — not because it was spectacular in a loud way, but because everything simply worked, day after day.
No wasted time.
No compromises.
No second thoughts.
This is a journey where the right choice feels obvious — once you see it.

What guests say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Beautiful scenery”
The scenery was amazing! We LOVED it! Alberto made the bike tour so interesting. The bikes were so easy to use. The Abbey is a hidden gem. The lunch was perfect with the wine tasting. We had to do a lot of luggage shuffling to get the 5 bottles of olive oil and wine packed. If you know, …you know!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning and relaxing ride through the beauty of Tuscany
Francesco was such a great guide for our tour. It was our first time on e-bikes and they were fabulous. I’m a road biker and tackling the hills of Tuscany is a challenge even for me…. the e bikes made the journey so easy and enjoyable. Any fitness level can go on this tour. The access to the monastery behind the gates is worth the price of this tour alone. Francesco was such a knowledgeable guide and we learned so much about the site history from him. The lunch at the winery stop was fabulous. We are so happy we joined for this ride! Thanks Francesco and Alberto!

Not everyone will choose this journey.
Not because it’s difficult, but because it asks you to travel differently.
If you’re looking for a refined, intelligent way to experience Tuscany — one that feels light, shared, and deeply rewarding — this journey is waiting.
And once you’ve lived it, Tuscany will never feel the same again.
If this is how you like to travel — with ease, depth, and quiet confidence — the next step is simply to let us take care of the rest.
For those with limited time, our daily e-bike experiences offer a glimpse of this same philosophy.
_______________________
Not at all. The electric assistance of the e-bikes makes the journey accessible even to guests who do not consider themselves “active travelers.” You control the level of assistance — from minimal to maximum. Most guests are surprised not by how easy it is, but by how enjoyable it feels.
No. This experience was designed for curious travelers, not athletes. If you can ride a bike, you can do this tour. We provide a morning orientation on Day 1 to ensure everyone feels confident.
Yes. This is one of the greatest strengths of the experience. The e-bike allows everyone to ride at the same pace, making it truly inclusive and shared. We’ve had 25-year-olds riding alongside 70-year-olds, all finishing together with smiles.
Yes. A professional tour leader accompanies the group throughout the journey, quietly handling logistics, safety, and timing, while offering local insight when it adds value. They ride with you but never dictate the pace.
Days are thoughtfully balanced. Actual cycling time ranges from 4-5 hours, but the day stretches 8-9 hours total when you include long lunches, cultural stops, wine tastings, and moments of rest. The experience never feels rushed.
Most guests hadn’t. This journey often becomes a revelation precisely because it allows access to places and sensations they would never experience otherwise. Many tell us: “I’d never have done this on my own, and I’m so glad I did.”
Our guide is able to assist immediately. We carry spare parts, and all necessary tools. In five years, we’ve never had a guest unable to complete the tour.
Absolutely. We’re happy to recommend (and arrange) additional nights in Florence, Siena, or the countryside. Many guests add 2-3 days before or after.
All dietary needs are accommodated with advance notice (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies). Tuscan cuisine is naturally flexible and fresh.
