Self-Guided San Gimignano Cycling Single Travelers
We can’t run self-guided tours with one person. However we can add single travelers to already scheduled self-guided trips. Depending on the time of the year we may have numerous self-guided tours on our calendar. Email us your dates and the tour you want and we will try to match you with an already scheduled trip.

Single Supplement (US$ 50 per night)
Tour prices are based on double room occupancy. A single supplement is required for single rooms.

Note:  You will not be joining a group. Most likely there will be just two other guests on the self-guided bike tour and you will be on your own while cycling and at meals. If your preference is to join a group please consider one of our regularly scheduled guided trips.
