Our gelato tour was scheduled for a day when the temperature was predicted to be 102F. Our family plus two friends... who were dreading the adventure given the heat. And my goodness, did we all absolutely love the day. Between a morning departure, shaded country lanes and a downhill breeze, we were perfectly comfortable. Our guides, Chris Small and Francesco, were as delightful as they were knowledgable. They were brimming with fun facts, historic details, cultural insights and personal charm. In addition to biking and gelato, we enjoyed the towns (and tastes) of Castellina and San Gimignano. Truly, in our eyes, the outing was perfect. The guides, the coordination, the activities, the scenery -- perfect. We are longing for a re-do.
