What you'll do
Enjoy a bike tour around the Tuscan countryside, just a few kilometres from Florence and into Mugello, a little slice of heaven.
Learn to grow saffron flowers and how use them in the typical tuscan cooking.
Relax and enjoy drinks with your tasting of local saffron-flavored products.
After a short walk into the small village of Vicchio and around its beautiful lake, begin your ride into the countryside, away from traffic. Along the way you’ll meet a Romanesque Church, a Villa from the Medicean era, and see the home of Giotto, always surrounded by nature and the typical Tuscan landscape.
Halfway through the ride, you’ll stop at a saffron farm. Discover the saffron's secrets and take your time to sit immersed in the magic atmosphere of this family-owned farmhouse. Meet the local farm animals, see the bee hives and vineyard, and taste some delicious saffron-flavored products (honey, cheese, biscuits, beer, herbal tea), while the owners show you how to grow saffron.

Florence and Mugello are the places where I was born and bred and I’m deeply in love with this territory and all the people that shaped it into a unique place in the world. This feeling is the reason why I decided to found Mugellove and to unveil the most authentic aspect of these corners of heaven and let the travelers experience it through the eyes of a person who lives here every single day.
I am passionate in photography, together we can take good photos of the tour to get gorgeous memories of your experience.

The bike trip with Simone was the perfect way to spend half a day in the beautiful countryside around Florence. The meeting point was easy to reach by train from Florence. The bike ride was easy, relaxing and so picturesque. Simone was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable at all times. We got to sample some delicious local saffron products at a farm stop. We can highly recommend this experience with Simone and hope to be back one day.
