WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IBT
Charles and Antonina Bari, New York, U.S.A.
I can’t believe 1 week ago I was riding a bike through the beautiful hills of Tuscany & drinking Chianti and now I’m back in New York! This is terrible!!!
Antonina – my wife - and I both had a great time last Saturday. I’m glad I rode with you that day because seeing the Chianti region was as nice as I was hoping it would be. I equally enjoyed both riding through the little villages and through the countryside. It was all very nice. I wish I could come back out for another ride tomorrow.
I can’t believe I’m suddenly 4500 miles away! It still feels like I’m so close. Oh well…
I’ll certainly recommend you should I hear of anyone else I know visiting the Florence/Tuscany/Chianti region.
Also, if you see Sean (I think that’s how you spell his name) again, could you thank him for the terrific tour he gave us? He was the guy at the second winery that we stopped at. I think it was Casa Sola? Or something like that? I can’t remember at the moment. I really enjoyed his hospitality throughout his tour and I was very happy with the wine-tasting presentation along with the snacks. He was very nice and made it an enjoyable experience for us. To stand right next to the grapes in the vineyard field and see the farms along the rolling hills made it all worth it.
Thanks again. Grazie molto and buon giorno a te. Io spero quando ritorno a Italia il mio italiano è meglio!
Regards,
Jeff, Laura, Scott and Linda, Boston, MA and San Franciso, CA, U.S.A.
Thanks so much for a wonderful day biking in Tuscany. You are an outstanding guide. The riding was fun, the scenery marvelous and the wine excellent. We look very much forward to returning to Italy and joining you for a longer ride next time.

We had such a wonderful time. It was the highlight of our trip. I will write a review for Trip Advisor. Thanks again for everything. All my best,
Kirstan Barnett, Boston, MA, U.S.A.
I hope your trip home was good -- I wanted to let you know that we got back to Boston safe and sound.
And thank you so very much for your flexibility, kind attention, good company and patience. You took very good care of us and we appreciated it tremendously.
Hope to see you soon -- take good care!
Mary Outten, Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.
I have to tell you that I have been on several wonderful bike trips in Italy. Other companies cannot hold a candle to the level of personal, professional service you provide to your clients. I have never experienced such a high level of attention to detail and the pure luxury of such an amazing guide as yourself.
I Bike Tuscany is THE BEST.

Dear Marco,
We are back home to San Francisco, Chicago, and Minneapolis. While weeding through email and other demands of everyday life that stacked up while on vacation, I find myself lost in thoughts of our amazing time biking with you in Tuscany--farms along the L' Eroica course, charming hill towns, castles, and of course family favorite recipes like ragu and apple pie-- all now the fondest of memories.
You are an amazing guide. You quickly knew each of us--our riding abilities, our preference for challenge, and just when to stop for an amazing photo or lunch. You made the trip a lifetime experience for all that would not have been possible in a larger touring group. Thank you for the great care you took with us. I hope you make it to Santa Cruz soon. I would love to take you on some of my favorite rides here.

With warmest regards

Dear Marco,
It’s hard to express just how grateful we both are for your special friendship and attention.
All good fortune to you,
Karen and Michael Michel, Newport Beach, CA, U.S.A.
Marco, Thanks for a great trip. It was the best. If you come to California call us and we will give you a guided tour on boat... not bicycle!
