* BIKE TOUR OF FLORENCE, AND NOT ONLY...
Now you can enjoy Florence AND the nearby hills on a mountain bike! we've
already taken a few groups on this
combination city
and countryside tour.
Biking through the old city center of Florence,
we will see the traces of its long and rich past, with its beginnings as
a
Roman town through its artistic heyday during
the
Renaissance.
we'll take time to enjoy some of the most important monuments and piazzas,
like the
Piazza della Signoria and also visit
some of the lesser-known sites, such as Andrea del Sarto"s frescoes in the
Chiostro dello Scalzo.
Our route then takes us up above Florence, to the
Piazzale
Michelangelo and the stunning romanesque church,
San
Miniato al Monte.
Then, following a small road behind the church, we are suddenly in the country,
riding through the
pine forest of San Miniato
and then along the narrow roads that wind through the hills, past
grand
villas,
cypress trees and small, country
churches.
Descending back into town, the
views of Florence
and the surrounding mountains are unforgettable.
we'll then head to the famous
Cascine park,
former hunting grounds of the
Medici family
and now a favorite place to while away a sunny afternoon, with its
shady
lanes, horse race track, amphitheatre and amusement park..
