My husband and I are traveling to Italy in June for our 20th anniversary. We have heard about a day long bike trip through the olive groves and wineries out of Florence with www.ibikeitaly.com. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this tour? Thank you.

I don't have experience with ibikeitaly.com, but we used tuscany-biketours.com a similar operation. Below is my review of our day as posted on the grafitt wall. We enjoyed the experience. Our tour was 60 euros.
Biking under the Tuscan Sun
I first heard about www.tuscany-biketours.com on this web site. We took one of their tours October 3rd and it was great. We had Mary and Erin as our tour guides and there were about 10 of us. You meet in Florence and are driven out to a castle where you take a tour and do some wine tasting. Then they fit you for your bike and your are off! The price includes a fabulous lunch at a local restaurant and a free water bottle you can take with you. It was my dream to ride in the tuscany area and doing it with a group was a lot of fun. Spending the day with everyone and getting to know our guides made for a memorable experience. I would recommend it to anyone. I personally think that you see and experience so much more from a bicycle than you do a car. The scenery was fantastic. It took a whole day, but it was worth every minute. (We left Florence about 10:30 and returned about 5:00) Check out their web site and consider joining them for an experience you can't have just anywhere. I had to talk my husband into it (spending the money-he loves to bike) but he thought it was worth every penny.
