点评:We just returned from taking the three day e-bike tour of Tuscany via francigena route. Alberto and Antonella were excellent hosts, and our guide, Alessandro, provided a history-rich tour throughout the trip. The hotels were delightful 3-star boutique accommodations, such as the Essenza in San Miniato and the Leon Bianco in San Gimingnano. The meals were gourmet, and provided a taste of the region, from little local stops for lunch and more formal dining in the evenings. The tip ended in a relaxing thermal spa. Every detail of the trip taken care of. They even arranged for transport to and from our hotel in Florence.
The bike trip included roads (some busy as you transverse towns), gravel paths and a fun bit riding down a grassy hillside. The e-assist bicycles make climbing hills easier, but there is still a fair amount of peddling to be done. That said, Alessandro kept the pace relaxing and enjoyable for the whole family.
This was the highlight of our trip to Italy and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to explore Tuscany. Only on a bike can you hear the birds, smell the vegetation and see daily life of this beautiful region.
翻译:我们刚刚结束了为期三天的托斯卡纳电动自行车之旅,途经弗朗西吉纳路线。Alberto 和 Antonella 是出色的主人,我们的导游 Alessandro 在整个旅程中为我们提供了一次历史丰富的游览。酒店都是令人愉快的三星级精品住宿,例如圣米尼亚托的 Essenza 和圣吉明纳诺的 Leon Bianco。餐食非常美味,从午餐的小站到晚上的正式用餐,都提供了该地区的风味。最后我们去了放松身心的温泉浴场。旅行的每个细节都安排得井井有条。他们甚至安排了往返佛罗伦萨酒店的交通。
自行车之旅包括公路(有些在穿越城镇时很繁忙)、碎石路和沿着长满青草的山坡骑行的乐趣。电动助力自行车让爬山变得更容易,但仍需要做相当多的骑行。尽管如此,Alessandro 还是让整个家庭保持轻松愉快的节奏。
这是我们意大利之行的亮点,我强烈推荐给任何想要探索托斯卡纳的人。只有骑自行车才能听到鸟儿的叫声、闻到植物的香味,并看到这个美丽地区的日常生活。
