Memorable parts?
Definitely, the best aspect of this trip was the horse riding. The horses were healthy and well-behaved. Riding along side sky-high cypress trees, between rows of vineyards, and past ancient ruins and rural villas was quite an experience. The pace was comfortable - with plenty of lively canters!
We stayed at the riding center in the owner's restored family home. My sister and I shared a room that overlooked the stables. We fell asleep to the gentle sound of nickers.

Simply the location! It was all that you imagine Tuscany to be - a converted farmhouse set in stunning countryside with a view of the surrounding Tuscan countryside that had to be seen to be believed and which afforded the sight of the most wonderful sunsets.

Despite having a mobility problem, I managed 3 out of 4 walks. They were amazing and Rudy was invaluable to give me the confidence to carry on even on some quite hard terrain. The hotel turned out to be experts in gluten free cooking and so the other perfect half was the ability to eat enough food to fuel the walking. Also the food was delicious. And the staff were lovely.

The choice of small, locally run hotels and restaurants and our improvised picnics meant that our money was spent locally.

Memorable parts?
Well, most memorable was possibly cycling up a zig zag mountain road in the teeming rain with a river coursing down the road!! That was freak weather
though. Most memorable in a good way was the wild flowers, which were everywhere and spectacular, and the food, which was the best I have ever eaten.
Tips?
Do some training riding up hills! On two of the days there are very long climbs (and very long descents afterwards). Bring clothes for a wide range of weathers

The whole tour was great, but I especially enjoyed the picnic while watching the sun set over the roof tops of Florence.

Be prepared to do a lot of city walking.
Local benefits?
Was only used public transport or our feet, which was great.
Overall rating?
Value for money. Pace was right with a good balance of lone time and group time.

Memorable parts?
The cycling
Tips?
Bring clothes for all weathers. We had one day when we needed sunscreen and a hat, and the next it was freezing rain. It's not a tremendously demanding ride,
but you do need to be able to ride 30 miles a day and climb a hill or two.
Local benefits?
We did spend money in local cafes and retaurants, and biking's definitely better than car or coach. I would have liked to see fewer disposable cups and other
items in the hotels though.

Memorable parts?
Pompeii and the statues in the Museo Cappella Sansevero - amazing
Tips?
TRAVEL LIGHT - we were told INCORRECTLY that we would have help with luggage. You
transport all luggage and lift it on and off trains and luggage racks.
Local benefits?
Not really.
Overall rating?
