Florence to Rome

Guided Group Tour - 8 days/7 nights - Florence to Narni 275 km; Independent tour Florence to Terni 210 km

   Overview

Travelling across the Italian countryside by bike means mostly travelling while the sun is shining. This tour, through the ‘green heart’ of Italy, from Florence to Rome shows the country from another side: calm, mystical and sometimes unexplored. You will visit Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and Narni. Their incredible wealth of art treasures take visitors back to the Middle Ages and Roman times.

On little-used roads, the tour leads through the valleys of the Apennines and the softly curved hills round Lake Trasimeno. Raging torrents, deep ravines and the roaming flocks of sheep shape this part of Italy. Along the way smell the sweet odours of wild herbs, rest in local hotels to fortify you for the next stages. At the end, the Eternal City of Rome awaits you.
