Summary:
We did a 4 day gravel bike tour including Siena, Piazza, Montalcino. We couldn't have asked for more. Michele met us at our hotel. He helped us download maps on GPS which were then very easy to use. Bikes were in excellent condition. Hotels were all great. 3-stars so not the fanciest but comfortable with terrific breakfast. We have done tours with bigger companies and paid twice as much for the same type of service.

Summary:
The views were spectacular. Tuscany is just so beautiful. Michele was very helpful taking care of a problem with one of the electric bikes. The route down to the winery was very nice and comfortable. But we decided to take the shuttle bus after lunch as the cycle back up to the end point was going to be very challenging for those us on regular bikes. Michele was good enough to get the shuttle bus while we were having lunch. Lunch at the winery was delicious with many wine and olive oil tastings. It was a great experience !

Summary:
What a delightful experience! Renzo has the unique ability to provide historical context to the experience as well as the personal knowledge to provide a multilayered overview of Lake Como. He was flexible in planning and in execution of the personalized tour and also very proficient in English. We came away from the tour with a better understanding of the culture and the architecture of the region, as well as it’s impact on history from the Romans to modern science and art.
