Fun tour!

Richard_E, Jul 2022

Really enjoyed this tour as it gave us a great overview of the city on the first day we arrived. Much easier than walking and covered a lot more area this way. Relatively flat and not physically challenging (we are in our 50's) but negotiating traffic was a bit interesting. Bring some water!

Great, enjoyable tour

Javier_H, Jul 2022

My family had a wonderful time with our tour guide Marcia. She made our Florence visit special. We rode at a safe and enjoyable pace through the main sites. Got great historical information. She was knowledgeable, kind and patient. We're so happy and grateful. Great tour

Tracy W, Oct 2016

Great fun. Terrific guide - she was delightful, fun, and shared plenty of information. Group of about 8-10. We rode from one great spot to another, and she provided some history and highlights. Later, more biking and, as the sun set, we rode to an amazing overlook --- were able to walk around and more photos I got some amazing ones, now on FB. Finally, a stop for Gelato - of course, everyone loved that! The price was great - and it was a wonderful way to spend an evening in Florence. Do this!!!

Deborah F, Jul 2016

Victoria was our guide and was extremely informative and personable. Biking is the only way to more fully cover this beautiful city. The view from Piazzale Michelangelo was incredible. This was one of our top excursions in Fierenze.

Wonderful tour through Florence...

Stephen B, May 2016

Wonderful tour through Florence, climbing up to piazza di michelangelo very, very scenic! and ending with gelato and a quick trip back to the center of the city. I would consider this light to moderate exercise, as the grade of the hill is not too steep, and the bikes had gears. The guide was informative and very willing to take our picture at the various stops. Highly recommended!

Jennifer E, Oct 2015

We actually missed our tour in Florence, but the company was super accommodating and rebooked us for a bike tour in Rome. It was great! The guide was fun and knowledgeable and the bikes were easy to ride. Lots of fun!

Darren N, Sep 2015

Fun tour, great guide. There is a pretty significant hill you have to ride up which at 7pm I'd rather be drinking aperitivos. But other than that, you get to see the beauty of Florence at sunset.

Lygeia F, Aug 2015

Guide was rushed, harried, and difficult to understand as well as being impersonal. Glad to have seen a different part of Florence, gelato was a nice treat. Steep incline so I don't recommended if you're not in shape. Guide kept addressing me as 'madam' even after asking her not to 8 times! The bike broke during the tour and the bell wasn't working.

Susan H, Aug 2015

The absolute best. Our tour guide Vanessa was great and a city bike ride is the best thing to do in any city. I i i i am not a regular rider and it was great. Even the gelati after.

RockyDick, Jul 2015

This was one of the most fun things we did in all of Italy -- what a terrific way to see Florence, and in the cool of the evening. Valaria Sp? was especially delightful with her perky personality and in-depth knowledge of the city and its history.

Allison E, Jun 2015

Vanessa, our guide, was WONDERFUL! The whole tour from start to finish was like a dream. The perfect mix of touring and leisure. Riding through the city on our bikes was not only fun, but informative as well. The trip up to the Piazza Michelangelo was not too hard - very relaxing actually and scenic. Getting to the top was the best reward - what a view! Once we got back down we were treated to the most delicious gelato - YUM! It was the best we had on our visit to Italy. Can't say enough good things about Vanessa, this tour and company. If I could give six stars, I would!

The tour guide was flexible to our schedule and had some really great information to share on all the sites that we stopped at.

megsy, Apr 2015

Great way to see a lot more of Florence than on foot. A lot of the tour is done on designated bike paths which is great. I would recommend this tour.
