Guided Tour
Is Alison a guide or a coach? Hard to say — I honestly think we got 2 for 1!
Guided Tour
My guided ride with Alison in the hills around Lucca was the most fun I've ever had on a bike!

I practically got a training camp and a guided tour!
Florence
Alison's love of cycling and Italy is truly inspiring for both the somewhat new to cycling and the lifetime aficionado.

I had an amazing ride!

Riding with Alison is a gift.
Newbie
I had never ridden on a road bike before, but Alison was an incredible coach providing me with the best tips and tricks and within the first few kilometers, I felt very comfortable and confident on the road.
Guided Tour
She immediately put my fears to rest and led me through parts of the landscape that I would have surely missed left to my own resources.
Lucca to Siena
At the risk of hyperbole, riding from Lucca to Siena is a transcendent experience.
Guided Tour
It was worth every penny.
Guided Tour
After our last trip, I was so inspired by her that I took up cycling and have been training every day since.
Guided Tour
I didn't expect to find an ex-national champion to ride with who'd tow me along at 40km/h one minute and the next ride side by side talking about Lucchese lifestyle, setting up a business, sports psychology and life as a pro-rider.
Training Partner
It was my first time in Tuscany, and I wanted to see all the beautiful scenery around as well as having some good training days.
Florence
After getting home, I found myself shopping for — and buying — a new road bike.
Guided Tour
Humbled, appreciative, and unforgettable cycling in Lucca/Tuscany.
Guided Tour
The decision to ride your bike through the hills of Tuscany is easy, but it can go downhill quickly if you're not with the right guide. Alison is that right guide!
Cycling Tips
After riding with Alison, I learned the technique to descend in control, take my time on the corners, and ride with confidence.
Guided Tour
Alison designed rides that were perfect for our ability — I'm 71 and my wife is 70.
Guided Tour
With gratitude for the uncommon experience of cycling Lucca.
Guided Tour
I could never have had "this experience" on my own without an amazing guide.
