When I embarked on my first Backroads trip throughout Tuscany in 2008, I had some doubts about the week of biking to come. At the end of the trip, however, I was floored by how amazing my experience was, by the knowledge of our guides, and by the luxury that followed us along the Tuscan Hills.

They have not only biking trips, but also multisport and walking/hiking trips, so people of all ages and ability levels can be sure to find a wonderful adventure in store.

Backroads is known for creating itineraries and amazing excursions, and for their extremely knowledgeable guides. They take you to places you never even knew existed, and spend weeks in each destination town to make sure they know everything there is to know before they show you around. The Premiere Inns trips are the best option, as they take you to at least three hotels that are the epitome of the region’s finest.

The Tuscany Bike Tour will take you through Italy’s gorgeous winding roads and rolling hills, where you will end your days with the yummiest food there is. Stop for wine tasting and a little lunch, and then head on to the local truffle farm, and that’s all in a days work. You will spend your week sipping the finest Chianti and local flavors, but you will also be working hard to earn it. The Premiere Inns are always changing from one that is better than the next, and you will fall in love with Tuscany again and again.

With charming little towns and a glass that is never empty, the Backroads trip to Tuscany is one that will not disappoint. Get ready to eat, drink, work it all off on the bike, and then start again – a Backroads trip is an adventure in pure luxury that you will not want to miss.
