WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IBT
Dina Hersey, USA
Hi Marco,
This is Dina from US - my husband and I did the Chianti 2 tour with you back at the end of September.
I just wanted to say how great that ride was and having been in the States for a couple of weeks now, we keep remembering our trip and your tour was definitely a highlight of it. We went to Siena next day with a driver and that tour paled in comparison.
Thank you for the pleasant day, a beautiful ride and great company.

Elizabeth,
We're back in the US after our wonderful vacation. Thank you so much for the great day last Friday. We enjoyed it very much. Even though the weather did not fully cooperate you did a great job making it a very good and interesting day.
I hope to be able to make a similar trip again in the future and I'll certainly get back to you when I start pulling my plans together.
It was great to meet and spend some time with a fellow Pennsylvanian. Thanks again for a wonderful day in a beautiful place.

Dear Elizabeth,
it's been a long time since our Chianti ride (May 8) but anyway let me express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful time we had and for the most positive emotions I had this spring!
I also would like to share with you some pics from our charming Chianti trip. Hope you enjoyed our company as we did yours!
Thanks a lot and hope to have the same great ride with you some day ;)
Warmest regards, Maryna

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for a great trip and all your help and input in making other arrangements for our trip. Now that I am better aware of what it's like in the hills of Chianti .. spectacular .. I can better "train" for a ride through the hills next time.
Thanks again. Robert

Hi Marco,
Sorry this took so long but life went back to its normal pace as soon as we returned from your beautiful country. I have attached a few photos from what was one of our best days ever. The trip was fabulous and you were an amazing guide. It was an experience to remember and I we would love to return with our kids for another Italian adventure.
Thanks again for everything,
Jill Briggs & Eric Dufour

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.
Wayne and Sue Baucino, USA
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

Hello Marco,
Our I Bike Tuscany tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy! We enjoyed the challenging ride through the beautiful Tuscan region as well as the two delightful wineries we toured. Now that we're home, we're enjoying the wine and olive oil we purchased that day. Marco, you were a lot of fun and we appreciated your great sense of humor! If we are fortunate enough to visit Italy again, we would love to take another, longer tour with you. Bravo I Bike Tuscany!
Thank you for taking our pictures that beautiful day. One is attached for you to see. This picture is now our computer's desktop background - making us smile every day!
Best wishes! Ciao!

Marco;
Our day biking through Tuscany with you was a highlight on our trip.
Your knowledge of the region helped educate us as we went along. Your biking smarts got us off to a good start and kept us going all day. And your flexibility and willingness to meet our needs helped to personalize the day with unexpected wonderful results.
You have our thanks for making our biking day in Tuscany the best day on wheels we’ve had in a long time.
Regards,
Todd, Darcy and Lyssa Cleary
