Self guided cycling holiday in Tuscany, Italy, independent reviews
 Reviewed 2 Jun 2008 by Manpreet Anand |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The whole trip was memorable... Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. I think the most exciting part of the trip was when we were biking to Pisa and got our first glimpse of the leaning tower. It was so surreal!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The Tuscany route offered is pretty challenging. When we booked this trip was described as light to moderate in difficulty however after finishing the tour and talking to the tour operator we were told it was one of the hardest if not the hardest tour offered. I feel like my husband and I would have actually trained instead of following our regular workout routine had we known.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes... in the sense that we were biking instead of driving through Italy we reduced our carbon footprint. Also because our route was through smaller towns we patroned smaller businesses which was beneficial to local people.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
I would rate it a 8/10.
