Alessandro created an itinerary for us for a 10-day gravel tour through Tuscany. He created all the rides, sent us the GPX files, and provided recommendations for hotel stays. He also rode together with us one day for a fantastic ride around Siena. We had a great time and we could not have had such a fantastic experience without Alessandro. I highly recommend him as a guide, or to create the routes you want to cycle. In addition, he is also a great photographer and a very friendly guy.

I was staying in Tuscany for a week and wanted to enjoy a gravel ride with my wife. Alessandro came highly recommended for good reason. He planned a beautiful route on quiet backroads that made for a perfect ride - and the rented bicycles he provided were brand new! Alessandro has extensive knowledge of the surrounding countryside which made for a highly enjoyable and educational ride. Our route included a coffee stop and a vineyard tour to sample the local wines. Overall it was a fantastic experience that we will remember forever. We will definitely connect with him when we are back in Tuscany for another great ride!

Thank you Alessandro for the guided tour and the photos. It is lucky to find a guide who speaks perfect Spanish and can adapt to the needs of the group. I really enjoyed the tour and the panoramic views. We will definitely be back!

Can't express enough how our gravel bike ride with Asimismo.eu was a dream come true. The entire experience was top-notch. The picturesque landscapes, the personalized service, and the attention to detail left us in awe.
From the get-go, the communication was incredibly accommodating and responsive. They customized the ride to our desires, delivering the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Our guide was not just knowledgeable but also passionate about the region, making the journey feel like an authentic exploration. The ride was challenging yet manageable, giving us an intimate connection to Tuscany
To anyone looking for a great experience look no further. Thank you!

Wanted to share a quick overview on my one week cycling tour experience in Toscana this September! Nothing more marvelous, exciting and enriching than this time. And all due to the passion, expertise and attention to all details from Alex, the amazing tour guide I had the honor to meet.
The insights he shared before the arrival like sites to overnight, dining options, planning for the tours, the routes themselves etc., as well as during the touring including all the planning to the smallest details and the attention to all aspects of the routes, of my cycling and fitness levels , my wishes of sights etc., were all just far far beyond what one would expect.
It goes without saying that each day of the 4 – day- tour we conduct around the beautiful Toscana and its surroundings, were even richer due to the knowledge and insights the guide shared in regards not only to the places we rode across , but their history and culture.
More interesting which is a total WOW fact, was Alex’s expertise when it comes to the nature surrounding the area, trees types, forests developments etc. Just so rich learnings and facts that one would never come across to learn. I will repeat the experience with no doubt as there are still so many routes uncharted. Strada Bianchi to follow😊!
I can only recommend to plan your next trip with Alex and to discover what Tuscany is about.
Don’t be shy and always reach out, you can only experience the best.
Thank you and till next time!

I wanted to do a gravel bikepacking trip through Tuscany and wasn’t sure how to get the best routes. I found Asimismo and Alex via Instagram and made contact to see what the possibilities were. Straight away it was clear to me that I had chosen the right person to help me. Alex understood my capabilities and created routes that ensured I could enjoy the cycling and see many fantastic parts of Tuscany. What was really important to me was the support. Although I was cycling for three days alone I was provided with assistance including where to refuel water and get great coffee and food. Also places to maintain the bike if I needed. This was a great comfort as I did not feel alone. The best part of the tour was the day cycling with Alex. Having got to finally meet we cycled The Strade Bianche roads together. The knowledge Alex has of this area is paramount to completing a fantastic few days of cycling. I highly recommend engaging with Alex and Asimismo to provide a great experience. I would happily do it again.

I had an awesome time with Alessandro. I was a bit nervous because I’m not a fast pro, but he was very happy to stay at my pace and he planned out a great route for us. And made reservations at a great family local restaurant for us to eat a delicious lunch. He is very knowledgeable about the area and history, and I appreciated him dropping some knowledge on me. Also his photos and videos were perfect, so I did not have to worry about taking pictures or stopping. If I was coming back I probably would go on another ride with Alessandro.

My wife and I planned a bike outing from San Gimignano with Alessandro during our Honeymoon. We had an amazing time touring around Tuscany, with a very nice mix of both gravel and paved roads. Alessandro planned out the route before our day, sent it to us ahead of time, and worked with us to figure our the best distance and terrain for our day. He connected us with a great bike rental company that got us outfitted with a rental for a few days.

I rode a route made by Alessandro today, it was massive! Very nice sceneries and heavy gravel! Wouldn’t have found the route by myself! He knows the hot-spots and gives you a very good route!

This was my first guided adventure. I aspired to do more on this day but I was running my first marathon in Rome a few days from our booking so I didn’t want to overdo it either so we agreed on a gravel cycling trip of 40 km in the Tuscan countryside. Leading up to the day Ale communicated all the details clearly, arranged for my bike rental and advised on what he would be able to provide so I could plan/pack accordingly. On the day of our meetup he was prompt picking me up in Firenze, educated me on the region when we were en route towards Siena. On the ride he continued to provide information on the history of the region while expertly taking photos the whole time. Unfortunately the ride was not without incident, but luckily I was able to ride out and he was prepared. He was able to get me cleaned up and treated when we got back to our place of departure as I was a little scraped up. Overall it was a great memory I’ll have with me forever and I’ll look up Ale next time I’m visiting! He was a very knowledgeable and capable guide, setting the bar high for any future guided rides.

Alessandro is such a friendly guy, pleasure to be around. When I met him in the Netherlands he already found better routes around my hometown than me, imagine where he would guide you in him home region in Tuscany. Would recommend to all. And don’t worry about pictures - he’s got your back.

This guy is the perfect guide if you feel like exploring Tuscany! I obviously can tell, as we shared 4 rides together last summer. Thanks for having me, and showing me around in your unique way Alessandro!

Great experience. Thanks for the ride, we’ll definitely repeat it shortly. Looking forward to ride some white roads next. Amazing landscapes and pro pictures.

Alessandro is a fantastic guide as well as a very polite guy. He fully satisfied our requests and went further by providing us with a photographic report of the two days on the bike, made with passion. He loves his land and it was a pleasure to discover it with him pedaling.

A few weeks ago I was in Tuscany, a land where I've lived for many years but never used it much by bike. Alessandro (whom I had met a few years ago on the volleyball courts) accompanied me on two truly beautiful outings, through places I thought I knew, but which in reality I had only vaguely tasted. As a cyclist, I greatly appreciated the planning of the outings, with some challenging stretches but mainly in areas sheltered from the sun (given the temperatures), and I also appreciated Alessandro's ability to propose a pace that was never bland but at the same time allowed to enjoy the beautiful views; and on top of this, as a photographer, I also add my appreciation for this aspect, and the fact that I was able to come home with beautiful photos of me on my bike with really beautiful backgrounds!

Beautiful initiative that of the "Photographic ride"! Interesting itinerary in the company of Alessandro, a person who, with his competence and professionalism, has combined cycling with photography, making this experience unique and certainly worth repeating.

Alessandro is a great person to ride with. He has a very deep connection with his region and a great knowledge of what Tuscany has to offer by bike, taking you through amazing views and less pedaled roads, both on tarmac and gravel. He’s also very passionate about photography and loves to capture great moments of your rides together. Our bike rides have been great so far and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Great service, Alessandro creates really interesting bike tours showing you the best spots in the area, letting you enjoy the Tuscan nature to the fullest!
Francesco from Italy

I've known Alessandro for a long time so this is not a "professional service" review. But let me tell you this: I am not a sportive person myself, but riding a bike with him all of a sudden becomes fun. He is so passionate and professional its almost contagious. He is patient and amongst all very commited to what he does. I cannot recommend his tours highly enough. Its a life time experience and you will also get to know an amazing human being!

I downloaded two of his gravel routes, I liked it very much. I like how he goes through the cities and other monuments with the routes. That's something you will miss if you plan your trip yourself.

Alessandro planned a great 3 day tour for me and my friend, and was very helpful throughout the process. It would be hard to imagine a better cycling route for the period of time being there. 10/10 would recommend!
