Now you can enjoy the charm and cuisine of Tuscany, and the hospitality
of one of the professional peleton’s most popular figures
in one package.

Tuscany is home to a great number of pro-teams and cyclists, so
its common place to find yourself exchanging waves with some of

the great cultural treasures, Renaissance cities, beautiful countryside,
not to mention great hospitality, cuisine and wine!
Our Tuscany package offers you a unique opportunity to rub shoulders
off the bike with former pro-cyclist and Paris Roubais winner Andrea
Tafi, whilst enjoying a week of challenging or leisurely all day
