The owner and operator of GiroSchool, Paolo Marullo, began cycling in the Maremma region when he was 17 years old. Having learned most of the interesting (and low-traffic) roads in the area, Paolo began GiroSchool in order to share the beauty and excitement of these routes with guests who come to Tuscany for visits and for cycling.
There are a number of pre-designed tours available. Upon the guests' decision and agreement, we will choose a fitting path to take. Unless there is some request to the contrary, we usually like to begin with something not too strenuous, and then proceed to more challenging trips, to give our guests a feel for climbing hills.
Please remember that GiroSchool is not a restricted club for intermediate/advanced cyclists or for those who are interested in strenuous biking. All beginners are welcome to join us, and we have special courses for those who are new to cycling, those who are returning to cycling after a period of inactivity, and those who simply consider biking part of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Here is a list of tours available to choose from. If you are interested in a less or more challenging trip, or in seeing any particular place along the way, please let us know and we'll do our best to create a custom tour for you.
