We had a great time cycling with Mark! He is an excellent guide and took us on a scenic route with a cafe and lunch stop. This experience is tailored to your interests and ability and would be appropriate for the casual or experienced cyclist. Keep in mind the bike rental is separate but that is an easy and smooth process. Highly recommend!

Mark was great. On time, very communicative, checked in on us often as we rode and most importantly planned everything! We didn’t have to think. Just rode and followed him. Had a delicious lunch halfway through and saw some stunning views along the way.

We enjoyed our ride with Mark to the outskirts of Florence city. Mark was very accomodating. Our trip was on a Sunday so there were less traffic on the roads which made it even better. I would definitely recommend Mark and would ride again with him the next time I visit Italy.

Mark is an excellent tour guide, if someone’s looking for a private cycling tour from Florence. We met at a cycle hire shop recommended by Mark, and he proceeded to take us on a 40 mile tour of the Chianti region just to the south of Florence. We rode at our pace, didn’t feel under pressure to ride at a certain speed, and we stopped at some beautiful spots for photo opportunities and some well needed drink and snack breaks. Would thoroughly recommend using Mark for anyone wanting to see a bit more of Tuscany than just Florence. He’s open to going as short or long a ride you want, knows some fantastic routes and was just a pleasure to be with.

I'm sorry to say this review is almost 2 years overdue as we had such a great time on our private guided bike tour in the hills around Florence. My fiancée and I booked a tour with Mark in July, 2019 and cannot recommend him highly enough. I'm a fairly avid cyclist and my fiancée is a casual/beginner and he designed a beautiful 39-mile route to our skill levels and provided options along the way to divert if we wanted to hit a particularly picturesque viewpoint, or take the less strenuous route, etc.

Coordination and communication were exceptional; he provided excellent advice with regard to bike rentals, met us at the shop on time, utilized the information about our riding styles and skill levels to recommend the appropriate equipment and, most importantly, guided us on a very fun and pretty ride through the Tuscan countryside, stopping for much needed espresso and snacks along the way. While my fiancée has opted to leave future vacation cycling trips to me (it's just not her thing), I wouldn't hesitate to book with Mark again. I imagine he's got some great gravel routes we could explore as well!

Both myself and my partner had such an AMAZING day riding through Chianti with Mark. Although Mark and my partner are more experienced cyclists than me, they kept a nice pace throughout the entire day. Mark had set up the route so we could have options to extend it depending on our/my energy levels on the day. We cycled 75km in total, which was a new record for me!

Not only was Mark a super guide, but he was also a very friendly and likeable guy. The weather on the day couldn't have been better too - around 26 degrees Celsius and sunny. It really was such a memorable way to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and it was definitely one the highlights of our trip!

Thank you so much for such a perfect day Mark!

Wonderful day biking through the Tuscan countryside! We biked all day (about 30km) with out 10 and 12 year old kids. Mark was great! He met us in an agreed upon location in one of the towns and arranged for the bike rentals. He customized the bike route to accommodate our kids. There were some challenging hills but Mark was very patient and encouraging to help us all get up them. The scenery was beautiful and my kids say it was the best day of our trip. Would highly recommend Mark's tour.

My husband and I were given a private guided tour through Tuscany with Mark, and it was absolutely fabulous! Not only was Mark great company but he also took us to a great place to have lunch and showed us all the best roads outside of Florence. If you want a great cycling experience outside of Florence definitely ride with Mark!!

My partner and I hadn't planned much to do while visiting Florence, and happened across Mark's tour of the Tuscany hills when we got into town. Being a regular road rider, I was really looking forward to this day trip. Needless to say, it was a day more than well spent. Mark did an awesome job guiding our group, leading us to some of the nice sites around Florence, and then off into the hills where we had a fantastic meal - honestly probably the most authentic meal we had while in Florence. Although a few of our group members had some challenges with the amount of climbing we did, Mark did a good job of keeping everyone together, and also offering a riding push up some of the hills, further showing his professionalism towards being a top-notch guide. After lunch we headed back down into Florence where we made another stop for some Gelato, which again was outstanding. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic adventure around the area, and would definitely ride with Mark again.
