bike tours florence italy

We want to do a bicycle tour in Italy but they all seem to be to long and too expensive. Any suggestions?

We are planning a trip to Europe for next summer and we really want to do a bicycle tour. We are planning on traveling for two weeks and spending most, if not all, of our time in Italy. I’ve found plenty of bike tour sites but they all have tours that are either 1 day or 7+ days (too long since we want to do Rome and Florence too) and most of them are like $2000+ because they put you up in a 4 or 5 star hotel!! We’re not that pretencious. We really would like to find something for 3-4 days that is cheaper a few hundred per person and we’d prefer camping. Any suggestions of where to look?

do it own your own. all of europe and italy too has very nice train system. bycicles are allowed in trains. so, why you not just rent a bike (or bring your own) and then go for a while by bike, a little bit by train, then bike again and so on. like this you can travel also to rome and florence and keep the bikes with you. cheap accomodation is easy to find. always just stop at small restaurant and ask who offer cheap rooms nearby. it works great. i’m german, my husband is american and we were backpacking throughout italy and always find a nice place to stay and kept going, when we have seen enough. just we did all by trains, didn’t use bikes. but nothing to see not to take a bike along.

where to visit along the south coast of France?

I am planning a trip that begins in Barcelona and travel (by train) through the southern coast of France and finally ends in Italy, near Florence. I have the intention of spending a few days in Nice, and want to know what other coastal (or near-coastal) are recommended cities. Marseille and Montpellier originally considered, but I think there may be other places to consider. I am particularly interested in visiting a vineyard and do a tasting of wine during one of my travel days. thanks in advance!

Although not a town of Cassis on the outskirts of Marseille is intended to be a case of places most beautiful in the south. He was and is impressive (but very hot in the summer) This is the tourist office for more information: http://www.ot-cassis.com/us/decouvrir/train/ Enjoy

Ancient farmhouses along the Adriatic sea, ömasserieö have been converted into Luxury resorts. Puglia has one 1,000 hours more sunlight than the rest of Italy and the wines are full bodied and rich. Sea culture along the Adriatic grew a cuisine inspired by the sea and sea culture. Here are immense wineries belonging to aristocratic families, dating back to the land grants of the 16th century when Spain occupied Puglia. Local varieties like primitivo and Sussumaniello imported from Dalmatia in the 7th century are the strength of Apulia, one of the great un-discovered food and wine heavens.

Wine Tours-Langhe $12.71 Langhe is a small area in Piedmont and the wine and food capital of the region. When the French-Italian House of Savoy moved their capital to Turin in the 1500′s waves of royals built castles here, but the farmers cultivating these lands created their dishes. The cuisine is aristocratic and simple at the same time. Barolo and Barbaresco, only grown here are made from the Nebbiolo grape and are the most important wines of Piedmont and maybe Italy. 67 % of all Nebbiolo cultivated in the world is grown in Langhe Nebbiolo’s early varieties go back to the 13th century. We start in Alba, a medieval city and the black truffle capital of the world, and go on a truffle hunt. Then travel through designated Barbaresco towns like Neive and Barolo townships like Barolo and La Morra tasting wines and local specialties and basking in the history. The quirky Langhe spirit even produced a Museum of Corkscrews not to be missed. Avant-garde winemakers have built futuristic wineries in 17th century villages and have commissioned world-class artist like Saul Lewitt to decorate old churches in the vineyards.
