Piazzale Michelangelo Tours and Tickets - page 12

Who knew that the best way to see Florence was on a bike? It might seem overwhelming to navigate the busy streets, but its doable and pretty safe. Our family of 4 ( 13 & 11 yr old) had a great time. Julia was kind and extremely knowledgeable. If we had been spending more time in Florence I would have booked more tours with her.

After a couple of days walking Florence in the heat, we needed to mix things up — and this bike tour was exactly the right call. Our 12-year-old had a blast, and honestly, so did we. Our guide Julia was wonderful. She kept the pace comfortable for everyone, covered the iconic sites, and also took us to some lesser-known gems we never would have found on our own. She even gave us tips for the rest of our trip, which we appreciated. The undeniable highlight was Piazzale Michelangelo — the panoramic terrace perched on a hill south of the Arno with sweeping views over the entire city. The views were absolutely incredible, and Julia gave us plenty of time to really soak it in. A note for families or anyone with physical concerns: the tour does require basic bike-riding ability, and Florence's streets are a lively mix of pedestrians, bicyclists, and all manner of vehicles. That said, Julia was incredibly accommodating — she grouped the kids and anyone needing extra time at the front to ensure safe passage through the more chaotic stretches. It felt thoughtful and well-managed. Highly recommend this for families looking for something active, engaging, and a little off the beaten

A great way to learn about Florence in two hours with a beautiful sunset. It was value for money as there was only one person (two solo female travellers) besides me for my tour. The tour guide, a blonde lady (didn't get her name, sorry!) was really nice and knowledgable, letting us stop anytime to take photos. She also patiently fixed our earphone set and took out multiple bikes for me to try as the store's adult bikes are too big for me. She pointed out details around the city that I would have missed out without a tour guide. Highlight of my Florence trip!
