BIKE & CULTURE

Draw inspiration from the Latin adage ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ – a healthy mind in a healthy body. True, biking comes first but at the same time stop along the way to take in the culture and beauty of the place you are visiting. Be prepared to shut out the distractions of your busy world and reflect on what really counts in life. Rediscover yourself and humanity’s generosity, and come home feeling enriched, inspired and re-energised…An experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Celebrate life and indulge in the delicious seasonal produce at various restaurants along the way. Wander through medieval ancient towns, visit food markets or simply join the locals at one of the cafes in the main piazzas.  Discover the exciting itineraries we have created for your next bike  adventure Giro Gourmet Siena and Lovely Lucca.

"Each day we cycled with Guidi we were embraced by her infectious charisma. She was authoritative, insightful and fun. Stopping for drinks and photographs while gently guiding us through the most spectacular countryside. We had the best experience".
