Things to do in

Monteriggioni

We had a fantastic day cycling through the Chianti countryside with our guide, Duccio! We didn't really know what to expect--we didn't have a lot of information when we booked--but everything went smoothly and better than we imagined! The pickup from downtown Siena was on time, the bikes were in good shape and our guide was terrific. We stopped at a small village, a beautiful winery (with a tasting and shared charcuterie platter) on a high hill, and also a fort. We rode a designated scenic route, about 40k, through a hilly region with lots of vineyards and olive groves. You share the road with vehicles, but there isn't much traffic and the drivers we encountered seemed respectful toward cyclists. If you enjoy a little exercise and time out in the country, I highly recommend. Request Duccio as your guide, he is very kind and knowledgeable, since he grew up in the area. In fact, you'll ride right past his house!
