Serene Tuscany, Umbria and Latium

Florence to Rome

Tour Description: Guided

Traveling across the Italian countryside by bike is a great way to experience the country's culture and history. This tour from Florence to Rome shows the country from another side: calm, mystical and unexplored. During the 180 miles (290 km) between Florence and Rome, you will see such cities as Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and Narni, all of which display an incredible wealth of art, treasures and history. Most of the cities have hardly been changed, allowing the landscape to appear harmonious and inviting. 

Following small side roads, the tour heads through the Apennines Valley and softly curved hills of the Trasimeno Lake. Raging torrents, fascinating ravines and roaming flocks of sheep define this part of Italy. At the end the Eternal City of Rome awaits you. There you should put aside your bike and enjoy its energy by having a cappuccino or a glass of red wine, reminiscing over the past few days of cycling through the small and secluded villages in Umbria.

Feedback: Guided

"Florence to Rome was a very fine bicycle tour, indeed. Sonja and Marc, our guides, were terrific, at all times highly professional and supportive. Each day we arrived at the lunch stop to find a beautiful picnic worthy of a photograph in Gourmet Magazine. Although there are many hills between Florence and Rome, that was clear before signing on. Far offsetting the occasional challenge were the many beautiful towns, countryside, good restaurants and fine wine, to say nothing of many very nice and interesting fellow riders."

"We participated in this tour during the second week of September. The weather was lovely, still like summer. The bikes shifted gears nicely. The food was varied and delicious. Italy was scenic and beautiful. And best of all, the people we rode with were wonderful. Marc and Sonja were very organized, and put together a perfect cycling holiday. Our fellow cyclists all spoke German as a first language (we were the only two non-Europeans), but this did not really pose a problem at all; as everyone had some English and all were very friendly and thoughtful. Florence and Rome are amazing cities, but the towns in between were also full of beauty and historic charm. We would highly recommend this bike tour to anyone."

"Had a fabulous trip from Florence to Rome May 22-30. Our accomodations were excellent. Our guides Sonja and Mark were extremely helpful. We had the most delicious lunches every day prepared by Mark. The cycling was challenging for a recreational rider but it meant we could eat and drink all the incredible food and wine that Italy has to offer. Again BikeToursDirect has done a great job. Look forward to our next adventure- maybe Portugal."
