REASONS TO DISCOVER TUSCANY
Capital of Tuscany, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From museums and art galleries to Middle Age and Renaissance architecture, there are plenty of things to do and see in Florence. Make sure to spend some time in Florence during your bike tour in Tuscany!
The Italian wine and the Tuscany wine in particular, is one of the best in the world. While in Tuscany, take the opportunity to go on a Chianti wine tour. The vineyards of the Chianti region are perfect for a bike ride: just cycle along and enjoy the sunshine and the good wine!
Located in the center of Tuscany it is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site! Siena is famous for its horse race, the Palio, a medieval tradition that takes place right in the center of the old town in early July and mid-August. The entire town has a very strong medieval influence with its old narrow streets and just as Florence, it is filled with art work from the Renaissance.
Whether crowned by timeless villages, covered by vineyards and olive groves or strewn with wildflowers, the hills of Tuscany have one thing in common: they’re perfect for exploring on bikes. Pedal to lofty hill towns, spin through broad valleys and follow sinuous country roads past cypress-lined lanes and quiet woodland.
Well-known for its wine, Tuscany will also enchant you with its cuisine. The Tuscan gastronomy is one of the best in Italy and as different as the Tuscany landscapes itself. There are the typical recipes from the countryside and the Mediterranean recipes straight from the coast of Tuscany. Try the ribollita – a vegetable and bread soup – or the panzanella – a bread, tomatoes and onion salad topped with olive oil. Don’t miss out on the local cheese: the famous pecorino. And treat yourself to a few Cantucci (almond cookies) dipped in wine; a well-deserved treat after cycling through the vineyards!
REASONS TO DISCOVER SARDINIA
The Island of Sardinia boasts some of the most beautiful beaches of Italy and Europe. The water is so clear and the sand so fine you will feel like you are on a deserted island in the Caribbean.
The city of Oristano and its region are one of the most authentic areas of Sardinia. This is one of the most ancient cities of the island, dating back to the medieval period. Be sure to visit the historical city center. It is stunning!
The fauna and flora are abundant, outside and inside the water. From pink flamingos to colorful fish, you will be astonished by its diversity.
Sardinia is also a gourmet island. The Vernaccia d’Oristano wine, the olive oil, the red beef meat from Montiferru, the oranges of Milis and the bottarga from Sinis are delicious!
Greek or Roman ruins, Medieval villages or the nuraghe (typical round towers dating back to 2000 B.C), there is always something to discover while cycling in Sardinia!
REASONS TO DISCOVER UMBRIA
Umbria is quite similar to Tuscany and one of the lushest regions in Italy. You will cycle through gentle hills, olive groves and vineyards. Umbria also hosts a National Park and seven Regional Parks, a true delight for nature lovers.
Maybe the most important religious city in Italy after Rome, Assisi was home to Saint Francis (father of the Franciscan monks) the patron saint of the country and one of the most beloved religious figures in Italy.
The Umbria gastronomy is a mixture of rare and traditional ingredients, like prosciutto and porchetta (two different kinds of ham), and many cheeses.
From Saint Francis to nowadays, Umbria has played an important role in the history of Christianity. Cycling through its villages you will see some of the most beautiful churches, cloisters and abbeys in Italy.
In the cobbled streets of each city and village you will find some hidden treasure. The small villages around the Trasimeno Lake are picturesque, while bigger cities such as Perugia, Terni, Foligno, Spoleto are filled with art.
REASONS TO DISCOVER DOLOMITES
This thermal spa and small city is perfect to rest after a riding day. Enjoy the hot water coming straight from the thermal sources underneath the city.
You will cycle by lakes and rivers, through parks and forests, across valleys and mountains. The perfect scenery for an active vacation!
Cycling around the Dolomites, you will discover many villas and mansions belonging to the ancient noble families of the Venetian region dating back to the XVI and XIX century.
These unique constructions are an important part of the region’s tradition. They were used by farmers during the “alpeggio”: in the summer they brought their cattle to the top of the Alps to let them enjoy the fresh air and grass of the Dolomites. These buildings are where they produced milk, cream, butter and cheese.
Yet again the cuisine of this Italian region will make your trip! Less known than the Mediterranean cuisine, the mountain gastronomy is as delicious, even tastier and with heartier flavors.
REASONS TO DISCOVER VENETO
Enjoying the imposing mountains of Lake Garda, cruising along Lake Garda from north to south, discovering the medieval fortification of Montagnana.
Lake Garda is a lake in the Italian Alps. It is the largest lake in the country.
She served as a frame for the Shakespeare tragedy “Romeo and Juliet”.
The city does not include any roads, only canals.
REASONS TO DISCOVER SICILY
Discover various aromas and flavors, specialities and also Sicilian wines.
Here you can explore many ancient ruins with physical representations of the regional past.
Social life is more engaging. We like to chat for hours outside the house, in a café, in a restaurant.
From green to blue, there’s something for everyone. Sicily will seduce you with its countryside, forests, beaches, turquoise water, volcanoes and mountains.
This beautiful destination will take you on a journey through its architecture which bears witness to the Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Norman influences.
REASONS TO DISCOVER EMILIA-ROMAGNA
If the name of Parma fills the readers of Stendhal and Proust with nostalgia that of Parmesan makes greedy people salivate.
A quaint little postcard village.
What city can pride itself on having a plate as the best ambassador in the world? You must try the famous Bolognese sauce.
A city full of assets, that will attract art lovers as well as enthusiasts of beautiful mechanics.
Ravenna is the capital of mosaics, the cradle of century-old works of international renown that one must admire if one travels to Italy.
You can also find your Corsica tour, your Croatia bike tour or your Guadeloupe tour.
EXCELLENT Based on 235 reviews Robert M2025-01-02Verified Croatia Bike Tour = Amazing This is the second time we have used Discover France for a vacation in Europe, both trips were 10/10. This time was a little more special as this was part of our honeymoon! We booked the shorter Croatia trip through the Istrian peninsula and it did not disappoint.Our tour consultant, Solene, was amazing! She took care of everything and answered any questions we had throughout the process. She also made sure all the hotels knew that it was our honeymoon so we had a couple extra surprises waiting for us when we checked in at each hotel.We also needed several transfers to and from the airport which Solene was happy to help with. It made the trip so much less stressful when you are able to book everything through the same service.The bike tour itself was so much fun. The recommendations (sites to see, restaurants, cafes, etc) provided by Discover France were spot on. The locals were so friendly (and most spoke English which helped!). The food was delicious especially being in a wine and truffle region. We would 100% do this trip again!Thank you Solene and Discover France! Justin T2024-11-26Verified 5th time (and lifelong) return customer Hands down the best adventure organization I’ve ever worked with abroad. This will be my 5th time returning to the TdF in 2025 with Discover France. Gabriel and the reservation team do everything they can to make your trip exactly as you hope. If there’s something they can or cannot do they work with you all the way. It’s a very one-on-one, professional and reassuring process for reservations abroad. The programs are incredibly memorable, with exclusive VIP access that exceeds any other TdF organizations. Their focus is the riding, course, and to make sure your experience on a bike is as good as it can possibly be. Other programs offer different bells and whistles to their TdF packages but absolutely nothing is as exclusive, personalized, and uniquely small-group as Discover France programs. You do not need to be an expert rider for the programs. But experience and at least comfort on a bike is needed. The rides can also be tailored on a daily (or even hourly) basis to the rider/group skill, weather, overall energy level that day, and your personal preferences. Support vehicle with special French credentials allows for Discover France to provide a van with you the entire trip. Sun, clouds, rain, sleet/snow (yes…it’s the Pyrenees or Alps), hot and cold: there is always a vehicle that can help you along the way and offer a place to bring along your gear like the professionals. Shout out to: Florentin and Titouan for spectacular rides and support expertise. Finally, Thomas and Aurelian are two of the most dedicated cycling enthusiasts and leaders of a one-of-kind organization. Their dedication and leadership is evident from the top down as all of the guides and employees seem to love their works as much as they do. Kevin P2024-11-24Verified Puglia in October This is the second year in a row that our group of friends have chosen Discover France. This time to Puglia. And again, the experience was fantastic. It starts with our tour consultant, Gabriel, who is responsive and truly cares that we have a great holiday. This year, we requested a one-day diversion off the usual route and the Discover France team mapped a great route for us. We also appreciate how the bikes are in good shape and all is well organized for our arrival. The route was generally on bike paths or tertiary roads and relatively flat - a well designed route for sure. joel w2024-10-27Verified Costa Brava Spain This is our 4th bike trip with Discover France, and they never seize to amaze us. We have been working with Solene, and she is remarkably professional, responsive, and most importantly, she listens to our "wish list" of preferences, and makes suggestions with that in mind. All our trips have been in France, with this one in Costa Brava. We loved biking in this region of Spain. Most of the biking was on gravel trails, and kept us off the roads. The scenery was beautiful, particularly the small coastal towns. The itinerary was well planned and we enjoyed the 2 night stays in each village, in lieu of moving nightly. I would recommend this route. I will be reaching back out to Solene to book our next trip. She is wonderful and I wouldn't consider using another bike tour company. Safe biking..... Alisha Stephen C2024-10-16Verified Loire Valley success. My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience doing the Loire Valley ride from Amboise to Chenhuette. Gabriel and team Discover France were very always responsive and available to help us. The routes were well thought out. Once you master the App, they are very easy to follow. The hotels were amazing and the staff at each one had a good relationship with DF. The bikes were amazing - Moustache Dimanche 28.4. They made this trip the success that it was. Rob W2024-10-08Verified Puglia Bike Just finished a bike trip to Puglia. Gabriel did an awesome job! Great hotels, bikes, routes and destination advice. We would highly recommend having Gabriel at Discover France plan your routes. My brother and sister have also used Gabriel and were extremely happy as well Don Y2024-10-04Verified Cotswolds This was the 4th trip using Discover France and each time has been amazing. This trip was to the Cotswolds in the UK. The organization of the trip (specifically Gabriel service) was outstanding. The hotels were all great and scenery was beautiful. We had one day of heavy rain but that added to the allure and challenge of the rides. Thanks to all at Discover France and of course Gabriel. Robert M2024-10-01Verified Loire Valley Classic - Great trip! Our first trip with Discover France but I hope not our last. Tatiana put together a great itinerary for our self-guided trip. The hotels were lovely, clean and biker-friendly, with most in former chateaux themselves. The bikes (2 regular, 1 e-bike) were in great condition and well-equipped, and the orientation session was very thorough. Luggage service worked as promised. Discover France did a good job minimizing our time on busy roads - almost all the trip was on bike paths or roads with little vehicular traffic. No complaints from us! JB-in-SB2024-09-26Verified Bordeaux-Dordogne: The best trip yet! Our third trip with Discover France, from Bordeaux to Sarlat in the Dordogne, was the best one yet. Loved the countryside, the food, the hotels, everything. For the first time I rode a pedal-assist bike, and it was a game-changer for me now that I'm in my sixties -- no more worrying at night about climbs I might be facing the following day.! My husband stuck to the standard touring bike and it worked out well for both of us. Working with Gabriel was a breeze. Thanks, Discover France -- we'll be back! Janet G2024-09-25Verified Loire Valley Classic: An Incredible Tour One of the most visually compelling bike tours we’ve done in Europe. All the major chateaux in the Loire Valley are located along the route, which is largely comprised of bike trails and/or little-trafficked country lanes. The local food and wines are exceptional. Discover France is a first-class operation; we’ve worked with them before, and will again on our next visit to France. Their entire team is great; extra kudos to our tour consultant, Solene Graino.
