I Bike Tuscany

Marco (and Jodie)

I don't know if you will remember us, with so many people you see, but Patricia and I were on your Chianti Tour 2 (the only two) tour on August 28th.

Out of the 3 weeks we spent in Italy - in Florence, Siena, the hill towns of Tuscany, Pisa, and Cinque Terre - we still think that our best day was the day we spent with the two of you on our bike tour. The country was beautiful, and we especially enjoyed talking with the two of you about so many things - we keep talking about Vertine, and the Abbey, and Castello di Meleto...

We used many of the dinner recommendations that Jodie so carefully wrote down for us, and they were all great. Thank you for that, as well.

I only wish we had done more biking before we came over, but I was hit with an illness a month before we came that made it impossible. Thanks again, Marco, for being so patient with me in attempts to get used to a bicycle again after so long. Once I got used to it, it was great--- really gave these old legs a good workout. Now I think I should buy a good bike here instead of running on the roads.

Anyway, thanks so much - if you or Jodi are ever near Ithaca, New York, we will be glad to entertain you here.

Good luck, Jodie, in L.A. - I may start watching daytime TV again!!

Hi Elizabeth - I wanted to say thank you again for our fabulous day in Chianti! The four of us had a fabulous time. I especially appreciate how patient you were with Paige and Michael - Paige was very complimentary of your encouragement and the way you made her feel at ease.

The rest of our trip was fantastic as well - guides in Florence and Venice, and a self-guided trek to an olive farm, San Gimingnano, Monteriggioni, and Sienna . . .all in one day! I really cant' wait to go back.

Hi Elizabeth,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note since we have returned to the states to let you know that our ride with you was one of the highlights of our trip!! (even though my family continues to remind me that I rode in the van more than I biked!).

It always amazes me to find out just how small the world is...... learning that you grew up in Uniontown and I in Latrobe, PA. It is a small world.

We would definately recommend and encourage any friends we have that head to Italy to tour with you and Marco!!

Best of luck to you!!

Dear Elizabeth:

Sue and I wanted to write to let you know how much we enjoyed the bike/winery tour. It was a wonderful change of pace from all of the museums in Florence, and we really had a great time riding our bikes and touring the winery. We will certainly recommend you to any friends or family that are planning a trip to Florence or Tuscany in the future.

Please also let Linda know how much we appreciate the history she gave us about Florence, as well as the opportunity to take pictures from Piazale Michelangelo.

Thanks again for everything.

With kindest regards,

Wayne and Sue Baucino

Dear Elizabeth,

Sorry we didn't get this out to you sooner, but we just wanted to say Thank you for a terrific ride from Florence to Siena on April 25th. Brian and I also loved picking your brain about local wines and Siena Hill towns and sights! Overall our trip was unforgettable and so full of fun memories, but we both agree that the bike ride was one of the highlights.

We wish you, Marco and the staff of I BikeTuscany a very prosperous year, and will highly recommend booking a ride with you to anyone who is in the area looking for a great way to see the countryside and get a workout in on those hills!

Many blessings,

Chrissie & Brian Colmery
