Day One

“You’ll meet your guides in Florence, a marvel of Renaissance art and where you’ll find the Uffizi galleries, the Duomo, and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home of Michaelangelo’s David. From here you’ll take a one-hour private shuttle to the charming town of Villa a Sesta.”

“After a delicious Tuscan, picnic-style lunch, you’ll be fit to your Trek Checkpoint gravel bike, or Trek Domane Plus eBike, and then we’re off on a rolling, scenic ride through stunning cypress trees and to the impressive Abbadia a Monastero, a monastery dating back to the 9th century. We’ll arrive at our hotel where you can relax, unpack, and prepare for our first night’s dinner and social hour at the hotel.”

Trek Travel’s gravel bike tours combine mixed-surface roads in the company of guides well acquainted with the area, aboard world class bikes such as the Trek Checkpoint, and the company’s e-Bike, the Domane +, a review of which is posted in the link below.
