We had a really good time and Rebecca was a great guide. We saw so many sights, and to do it while navigating the streets of Florence made it an even greater learning experience. Thanks for an awesome tour.

Really fun tour, taking in all of the main sites, including Piazzale Michaelangelo. Edoardo was very knowledgeable and gave good direction on the bike. Would recommend as a great way to see the city and get some fresh air.

Great fun tour

Eleanor_S, Apr 2026

Excellent

Rima_O, Mar 2026

It was very nice and productive experience I enjoyed the ride , the guide was super nice and helpful and have very good information

Book with Caution

Barbara_W, Dec 2025

You need to be an experienced e-bike rider. There was limited to no instruction on using the features of the bike. The bikes were older and cumbersome. There was a a lot of pedestrian congestion which made it difficult to maneuver. We also went on a number of streets that were cobblestone which made for a very bumpy ride that left us all very sore at the end of the ride. The guide’s audio died so we feel like we didn't get the full experience. View from the top was amazing but this tour should be booked with caution.

Great way to get some...

Michael_E, Oct 2025

Great way to get some exercise while learning about Florence. The car traffic was a little "dodgy" at times, but Rebecca did a great job providing instructions and keeping everyone in the group together.

This was a fabulous tour...

Amy_D, Oct 2025

This was a fabulous tour and Marco the guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and made it enjoyable for me and my children. A great family event to do.

Disappointed

Christi_M, Sept 2025

started late, no helmets, listen devices not working, a child fell twice, time ran over because it started late, English tour in multi languages, guide's English extremely hard to understand

Great experience for the...

Paul_H, Sept 2025

Great experience for the price and guide was excellent!!! The agency staff could have been friendlier and honestly never greeted us with even a “hello”. Likely because no one else signed up for our time slot and they still had to honor the tour.

We had a really good time...

Pros and Cons

Robyn_W, Sept 2025

Pros: - Storefront where tour starts is easy to find. - Guide was very knowledgeable and told us some interesting lesser known facts about Florence. - Tour ended up being a private tour since nobody else showed up - Saw a variety of places which you would not have been able to see by walking only Cons: - Florence is not a very bike friendly city. We were sharing the roads with cars and scooters with no bike lane. There are not clear traffic laws, which was scary at times. The cobblestones are bumpy and uneven. - Was not informed of a weight limit and my husband is 6 ft 4 inches tall and 240 pounds. His seat kept falling down and this made it hard for him to pedal. The guide said it was due to my husband’s size, but I did not see a weight limit in the booking. - No helmets were provided or offered as an option. - The e-bikes are very heavy. They are difficult to maneuver and to start/stop quickly. A regular bike would have been much easier to use, which the shop did have. - The guide did not frequently check if we were close behind, so we got separated a few times. I imagine that a larger group would be separated even more easily. - the audio was very staticky and difficult to hear - No public toilet at the store front and no toilet stops along the route.

Florence Bike Tour

Lisa_N, Sept 2025

We are a group of 4 from the US and found our tour guide, Andrea, to be friendly but not very attentive to our needs. He also had a thick accent and sometimes wasn’t able to answer our questions because of the language barrier. After making sure our headsets worked the basic mechanics of the e-bikes, he took off like a flash without making sure our bikes fit/worked, offering us helmets or telling us where we were going. The first part of the ride was rather harrowing as we had to navigate through heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic on very heavy bikes that were hard to maneuver and sometimes seemed to have a mind of their own. All the while, Andrea was pointing out things along the route as we were passing them, over a microphone that was very staticky. When we did stop, he assumed we knew more about Italian history than we did, so much of the information he provided went over our heads. No visuals were used to help us understand what we were looking at. The best part of the tour was after ascending a long, steep hill, we arrived to a stunning panoramic view of Florence. Unfortunately, not much time was allowed for us to explore the other attractions in the area including waterfalls and several statues/historic markers. We have been on many guided bike tours around the world and this one was one of the very few that left us feeling that we would have been better wandering around the city brother on our own or as part of a guided walking tour.

Fun but challenging e-bike experience

Brian_E, Aug 2025

Biking through the city was challenging as we dodged the crowds. Views outside the city were stunning however. Good sampling of key Florence sites. Great excursion for avid, mature bikers.

Bike Tour Gone Wrong

Robert_F, Jul 2025

Our electric bike tour in Florence was a major letdown, even though the guide was fantastic. The group was far too large (over 15 people), and shockingly, they allowed a 12-year-old child to join. The child fell twice and repeatedly slowed the group down, turning a 2-hour tour into a frustrating 2.5-hour ordeal. The operator should enforce a minimum age of 14 and limit groups to 10 people max. The guide did their best, but poor planning ruined what could have been a great experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Robert Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to kindly clarify a few important points regarding the booking. The tour you selected is a group tour, not a private or semi-private experience. As clearly stated in the tour description, the group can include up to 20 participants. We do our best to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all, but a more intimate setting would require booking one of our private or semi-private options. Regarding children, our policy allows participation from the age of 10 and up. As also stated at the time of booking, parents or guardians are fully responsible for supervising their children throughout the activity.

Do not book this one

Kathleen_K, Jun 2025

Way too much talking by the guide. The overall historical stories would have been enough, but to ride a short distance and then stand in the sun while the guide was in the shade for 15 minutes on at least 3 stops was unacceptable. He also never looked back to check on the group. A family of 6 lagged behind because the kids were slower. The guide continued at 20 Kmh. The bikes were old and not great. Toward the end, he just raced back. I would not recommend this company at all.

Evening cycle over Florence.

Iris_H, May 2025

The tour leader was very informative with interesting information about the city and certain past residents. Be prepared for some awkward traffic situations in the narrow streets. We were trapped behind a bus and were anxious about losing sight of the group at 1 point, especially as we rarely notced the leader looking back to check we were still there. If you are only accustomed to quiet country lanes this tour may be somewhat hairy and you might feel safer if you stay directly behind the leader, not at the back of the group. The early evening view overlooking Florence, the river Arno and Ponte Viechio was well worth the trip. My partner found the green bikes were very comfortable for the rough medieaval roads. However, at 5'1", I needed to have a citybike. If you dislike the idea of 2+hrs over incredibly rough surfaces on a narrow tyred less well-suspensionsed bike, be prepared to sit with the handlebars of the green bikes above your shoulder height. A worthwhile interesting trip, with added adrenalin boosters!.

The tour was very heavy...

Claire_L, May 2025

The tour was very heavy on history and dates. Was more of a history lesson than a tour to acquaint ourselves with the city. We asked partially thru that he not speak so much about history and dates but that lasted 5 minutes. He spoke non stop the full 2 hours but everyone had unplugged our buds for some quiet time. The guide was very polite and kind. The bikes were great.

Nice tour around Florence.

Jane_M, May 2025

Enjoyed the tour, have done lots of e-bike tours before but don’t think these bikes are not suitable for going through the city. They have too much propulsion and so u are constantly on the brakes when at low speed - found them tricky when going through VERY busy pedestrian areas. Also no helmet given, and we forgot to ask. Guide was good and was great to see so much of the city.

Fantastic Tour

Alicia_A, Apr 2025

This is a really fun way to explore Florence and learn its history! The e bikes are a lot of fun and you get to see sites and neighborhoods you probably wouldn't just walk to. We were initially a little intimidated by the traffic, but our guide knew the quieter streets to take so we were never nervous. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area's history, and pointed out a lot of interesting stories and facts. This is a great tour to cover a lot of ground and rest your walking feet.

Poor service

Venkata_C, Jan 2025

Tour guide was not available so Tour was canceled. We waited 30mins before calling it off. We had to fight for the refund.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait and not receive the service you were expecting. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused.

VANIA_G, Oct 2024

Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide, Edoardo. I strongly recommend this tour as a first overview of Florence.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Vania, thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Edoardo's expertise added so much to your experience. It's wonderful to know that the tour served as a great introduction to Florence for you. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more in-depth explorations of this beautiful city! Warm regards, My Green Tour

Could do better.

Kruti_S, Oct 2024

Overall, less than average experience. Granted when we went, it was drizzling a bit, and a better weather could have resulted in slightly better experience. However, in my opinion, the tour can be improved a lot more for a better customer experience. - The tour guide and the owner could have been courteous and friendly. - when we asked questions, our tour guide would get annoyed with us. - if we fall behind due to pedestrians, our guide gave us a frustrated look. - no other instructions or plan was provided. Just showed us how to use an ebike but did not explain any rules and regulations, what to expect, traffic, what areas are we going to be covering. - gave us helmets only when we asked. - gave us very minimal information on historical places that we passed. Pros: I will admit, I loved that my husband and I got to e-bike to the other side of the Arno river, where we got a chance to walk around and take pictures. Towards the end, the tour guide smiled and said bye, even though that was the only time he smiled. Luckily, it was only my husband and I on this tour, so we got a small tour experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Kruti, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate your detailed feedback on areas that could be improved. We apologize if the guide's interactions came across as anything less than friendly or attentive. Courteous and engaging service is a priority for us, and we’ll address your comments with our team to ensure all guests feel welcome, supported, and informed. We also regret that the information provided on safety, routes, and historical sites was not sufficient. Clear communication and guidance should always be a part of our tours, especially with e-bike excursions. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the chance to explore the other side of the Arno River, capturing some great memories along the way. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will use it to make improvements and offer a more enjoyable experience to future guests. Thank you again for your honest review. We hope to have another chance to provide a tour that better reflects the quality we strive to offer. Warm regards, My Green Tour

Bike Ride in the Rain

Tommy_S, Oct 2024

It was raining before and at the start time for our bike tour. I indicated to tour guide I did not want to be on a bike in the rain and/or wet streets. I was very surprised they did not cancel. I asked for a refund but I’ve heard nothing.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during your recent bike tour experience. We understand your concerns about riding in the rain or on wet streets. While we strive to ensure our tours are enjoyable and safe, we generally do not cancel tours due to rain, as weather conditions can vary and are often manageable. Our guides are trained to adjust the experience as needed to prioritize safety and comfort, even in less-than-ideal weather.

Informative fun bike tour

Genoefa_H, Oct 2024

Luigi, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. The E bikes were great and made getting around easy. Got to see a lot of Florence in a short time

Great time and great guide

Gail_D, Sept 2024

Great guide!! Great scenery in Florence would definitely recommend! The electric bike experience was one to try!

A tour with a great view of the city

Andy_M, Sept 2024

An enjoyable tour with a knowledgeable guide. Fantastic view over the city where you stop for a break. Highly recommended!

Avoid E-bike tours of Florence

Joel_S, Sept 2024

E-bikes were in poor condition. No helmets provided. Wireless sound system to hear guide was very poor. Massive automobile and pedestrian traffic made riding extremely dangerous and unpleasant. Beautiful city but much better seen on foot - not on bike.

A fun tour

Jessica_K, Sept 2024

I did this tour with my husband and 3 teenage boys. It was a lot of fun and a nice introduction to the city. We rode up to a great viewing point of the city.

Not possible to really ride a bike

Alejandra_O, Aug 2024

The guide tried to show the important places , but it is really impossible to move around the center with the bike having so many people walking and cars passing by ... You are more time at stop than really riding the bike .. Sugget to do it walking

Great way to see the city.

Lawrence_L, Aug 2024

Our guide was great...when we could hear him. Since there were 14 of us, all in a single-file line, some of us in the back could only occasionally hear what he was saying. He was speaking through a wireless transmitter but if you weren't close enough to him, you lost the connection. That was too bad since he was giving us a lot of good information. We either needed to have fewer people or a stronger transmitter. But it was still a great ride. We saw some really cool sights.

Great views but more instruction needed

Morgan_R, Aug 2024

This was a great way to see the city in just about 2 hours. Although, our tour guide was a little impersonal. He never even shared his name or introduced the group. He also did not give a demo on how to use the electric bikes. If you do this tour, make sure you ask about how to use the bikes and general flow of traffic. Other group members (who didn’t know how to use ebike) slowed down the tour due to the guide’s lack of instruction. Kind of frustrating.
