An amazing trip. We were married in Florence the day before our Trek trip started. It was the best way to spend our honeymoon. We were able to spend time together cycling which is an activity that brought us together and that we are both very passionate about!

Great Ride
San Quirico to San Giovanni d'Asso Loop
The "Crete Senesi" offers one of the most photographed rural landscapes in the world: cultivated fields crossed by rows of cypresses and unparalleled views.
We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR) and rent a car for the duration of the trip. Most major rental car companies are available at FLR. Advance booking is recommended. If you are not renting a car, the Florence airport is about three miles from the town center. You can take a taxi (approximately €20) to the centre of town, or a bus which departs hourly.
From Florence (Santa Maria Novella train station) there are frequent direct trains to Siena. The trip takes about 90 minutes and a one-way ticket costs about ten euros. Italian train schedules can be found on www.TrenItalia.com.
The trip takes place in the Tuscan countryside that is not well served by public transportation. For this reason, if you have not rented a car, we suggest you take a taxi ride from Siena to San Quirico d'Orcia. A private transfer from Siena to San Quirico takes about one hour and costs approximately €150. We suggest you contact our local driver ahead of time to arrange the transfer. Our Trip Consultant can provide you with our recommended local contact information.
Your Trek Travel host will meet you at your trip hotel Villa Liberty (Via Dante Alighieri 119, 53027 San Quirico D'orcia SI) at 11:00 AM on the first day of the trip. Depending on the number of guests booked for your departure date, it is possible we will ask you to shift your meeting time by approximately 30 minutes. Please have your riding gear readily accessible to avoid having to unpack your luggage. After a trip overview, you may change into your cycling gear where you will then be fitted to your Trek bike ensuring you will be comfortable for the week. Following a safety talk and a review of the details of the route, you'll begin the day's ride through the Tuscan countryside.
If you will be late for the meeting or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your host. If you cannot reach them, please call our hotel, Villa Liberty (+39 0577 899028) and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details.
Additional Departure Information
Your Trek Travel host will meet you at 11:00 AM at the trip hotel to take your bike and equipment before your departure. The hotel staff will be happy to reserve a taxi for you for Florence or other destinations. The trip to the airport in Florence takes approximately two hours. Please allow adequate connection time for any ongoing travel to accommodate possible traffic delays.

Admire it from below or climb over 500 steps to the top to enjoy a wonderful view—this is one stop you don't want to miss in Siena. Piazza del Campo is known worldwide for its architectural beauty and its particular "shell" form. Another unmissable highlight is the stunning Gothic Duomo full of treasures, including its marble pavement, Piccolomini library frescoes, and incredibly ornate interiors.
