In the afternoon, we’ll meet at our shop on Via Dardano 54—about a 10-minute stroll through the historic center—before setting off on a golden-hour e-bike ride around this timeless hilltop town. The highlight is sunset from Cortona’s most breathtaking viewpoint, followed by a curated pizza tasting selection to celebrate your first evening in Tuscany.

This morning we’ll transfer to Pienza, the gateway to Val d’Orcia—one of Tuscany’s most iconic landscapes. We’ll time the start around the weather, with an early pickup recommended on warmer days. We’ll ride to hidden viewpoints and postcard panoramas, with ice-cold water provided for comfort.
At lunchtime, we’ll slow down in a cozy panoramic gazebo near Montepulciano for a tasting at an award-winning cheese farm: Pecorino and local specialties, paired with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Afterward, we’ll transfer back to Villa Marsili for some downtime.
In the late afternoon, the appointment is in the historic center for a hands-on cooking class: fresh pasta and sauce, then dinner together, perfectly matched with Cortona Syrah.

This morning we’ll pick you up for a short transfer down into the valley, halfway between Cortona and Montepulciano. From there, we’ll ride through the rolling countryside of Val di Chiana on quiet gravel roads, weaving between silver olive groves and vineyard rows of Sangiovese and Syrah—pure Tuscany, calm and cinematic.
At lunchtime, we’ll return to the same small, welcoming winery for a four-course meal paired with their wines—cozy, unhurried, and beautifully local. After a little downtime back at the hotel, the afternoon shifts from countryside to culture: a guided walking tour through Cortona’s hidden corners and Etruscan layers, full of stories, history, and fun details you’d never find on your own.
Tonight we’ll celebrate with a final dinner together in one of Cortona’s best restaurants—warm hospitality, great food, and the perfect closing to the journey.

Step beyond the postcard
Cortona, Like a Local
Step beyond the postcard and into Cortona’s Etruscan soul: hidden corners, cobbled streets, and stories that only locals tell. The experience closes in the most Tuscan way—an unforgettable final evening in one of the town’s finest restaurants, shared with genuine connection and warm atmosphere.
Eat Tuscan
Roll your own pici pasta by hand with aglione (Tuscan giant garlic) tomato sauce, taste true Pecorino, the freshest local olive oil, and the classics done right — crostini, cinghiale (wild boar), and tender Chianina beef, prepared and enjoyed in the most authentic Tuscan way.


Tuscan way


The Italian Way
Drink the Icons
Drink, the Italian way: from legendary reds—starting with Cortona Syrah and moving into Super Tuscan favorites like Brunello, Chianti, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano — to the simple ritual that ends every meal properly: limoncello, espresso, and yes, cappuccino (when it feels right).

Posted on Tripadvisor mitch w9 September 2025Verified Modo meraviglioso per vedere la campagna toscana La nostra guida, Christian, è stata divertente e coinvolgente. Siamo andati a un ritmo confortevole, fermandoci a splendidi panorami dove abbiamo imparato un po 'di storia e Christian ha spiegato quello che stavamo vedendo. E per finire, abbiamo avuto una meravigliosa degustazione di vini e pranzo.Posted on Tripadvisor Edward G6 September 2025Verified Miglior tour in bicicletta in Toscana. Tour delizioso, Harry e Christian sono ottime guide, affascinanti siti storici e religiosi, ottime bici. Un posto così bello.Posted on Tripadvisor Ed G5 September 2025Verified Ottimo servizio e paesaggio Su mia richiesta il team mi ha organizzato per avere una bici da strada per la giornata. Ho esplorato la zona da solo come ho visitato Cortona molte volte, ma mai cavalcato nella zona. Che giornata fantastica! Mi sono sorpreso di tutte le salite che ho raggiunto. La moto fornita era una misura perfetta e ha guidato splendidamente. Grazie Epic.Posted on Tripadvisor Stacy S29 August 2025Verified Grande giro 1 ° Cristiano!!! Oggi abbiamo fatto un giro incredibile attraverso la campagna toscana con Christian! Abbiamo percorso chilometri tra vigneti, campi di girasoli, deliziose cittadine e persino tour privato del Castello di Montecchio curato da Christian. Christian è molto ben informato della zona e ha trascorso un sacco di tempo a garantire che abbiamo visto tutto il possibile lungo la strada! Le bici erano di grande qualità e facili da usare. Grazie per l'esperienza Christian, e grazie per aver reso così facile prenotare e vivere Valentine! Ci rivedremo ragazzi!Posted on Tripadvisor Jace S29 August 2025Verified Tour in campagna e bici Fantastico giro di 20 miglia attraverso la campagna e le e-bike ha reso davvero piacevole! Ha una storia delle ville e dell'agricoltura intorno alla zonaPosted on Tripadvisor Paul3 August 2025Verified Eccellente EccellenteNoleggiato una bici per un giorno - ho preso la moto facilmente e sono stato preso attraverso la moto come non guidato una E - Bike prima. Dato un paio di tracce da seguire utilizzando Komoot. Modo brillante per vedere la campagna attraverso vicoli tranquilliPosted on Tripadvisor Mette29 July 2025Verified Grande tour Abbiamo fatto un fantastico tour e - mountain bike con Epic Bike e la nostra guida Matteo . IT stata una grande esperienza, con alcune tappe molto interessanti lungo il percorso. La nostra guida molto esperta ha condiviso le storie dietro di loro. Matteo sapeva molto sulla storia locale, i paesaggi e la cultura che abbiamo incontrato durante il nostro tour. Il giro in bicicletta in sé era molto gestibile e ben adattato al nostro gruppo. Le moto erano eccellenti. Diamo a Epic Bike le nostre più alte raccomandazioni.Posted on Tripadvisor caroline d24 July 2025Verified Perfetto!! Moto fantastiche, ben organizzate e ben tenute con ottime batterie. Abbiamo avuto una bella mattinata esplorando Cortona con un amico che vive qui. Ti vengono forniti casco, serratura, kit di riparazione delle forature e acqua per il tuo viaggio. Niente è troppo disturbo e servizio molto cordialePosted on Tripadvisor Fearless38465016 May 2025Verified Fallo! Mi è piaciuto questo giro in bicicletta! Per cominciare, non si può sbagliare con la campagna toscana. La nostra guida è stata informativa, cordiale e gentile. Le moto erano top/notch e facili da usare — basta essere sicuri di aver praticato abbastanza prima di mettersi in viaggio. Abbiamo finito con un magnifico pranzo in Via Della Stella. Abbiamo prenotato un tour privato per 4 di noi e anche se circa 12 persone erano al luogo di ritrovo, siamo andati in bicicletta solo noi quattro con la nostra guida dedicata e abbiamo avuto i nostri posti a sedere per il pranzo. Consiglio vivamente l'avventura!Posted on Tripadvisor Jet71432511 May 2025Verified Servizio brillante Servizi brillanti da parte del team e molto accomodante a tutte le nostre esigenze. Abbiamo avuto tutti un tempo fantastico e ci piacerebbe noleggiare di nuovo biciclette da Epic Bike
