Wonderful Florence

Alison_G, Mar 2026
It is essential to arrive early for this. Our guide Guila was absolutely wonderful. We saw Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s house, pictures with the Ponte Vecchio in view.

Biking

Christine_M, Mar 2026
This was a great way to start our trip to Florence. Jacqueline was very knowledgeable. And helped us navigate through the tiny streets of Florence. She also highlighted the main attractions as well as some of the local restaurants, gelatos, etc. Highly recommend.

Beautiful bike ride

Elvira_G, Mar 2026
We nearly canceled the tour, but we're so glad we didn't. The guide took us through beautiful Florence, including visits to the church where Michelangelo is buried and Dante's church, where his platonic love rests. Lovely bike ride

Rainy Bike Tour

analycia_s, Jan 2026
My partner and I did a private tour with one of the ladies there. She was the best and even in the cold rain was able to give us a great experience with lots of information. Would book through them again!!

Great Tour

Martin_K, Jan 2026
Great tour well guided by Julia with bikes in good condition. Took in all the main points of interest.

We truly enjoyed biking...

nicole_t, Dec 2025
We truly enjoyed biking through Florence to see all of the sights. We had minimal time and this gave us a well rounded view of the city. Julia was fun, warm and knowledgeable. We enjoyed lots of laughter together.

An absolute must do.

Katia_S, Dec 2025
Julia was an absolute delight. It felt like I was out hanging out with a best friend. This was my second trip to Florence and she took me to sites I missed during my previous visit. Extremely informative. The other people in my group had cancelled their reservation nonetheless she took me out by myself. What an amazing treat. We made a couple of stops to enjoy a famous dessert and a famous coffee with gelato plus she took pictures. I rarely write reviews. Much well deserved. Thank you Julia for such memorable experience and for being so kind.

Great tour and guide

Brian_H, Nov 2025
Our guide (Julia?) provided good information, and she made an extra stop (not in the original itinerary) for some FANTASTIC views!

Do it.

Kyle_L, Oct 2025
So much fun. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and you could tell she loves her job. Riding around on bikes and stopping at different locations is so much nicer than walking. 100% recommend.

Terrific guide juliet

Mario_N, Oct 2025
It's a fantastic way to see all the sights and get some great local insights, Juliet was entertaining with sharing the local Italian way of life

Top Quality Tour.

Grant_W, Oct 2025
It is an excellent tour with plenty of stops and lots of history & interesting stories. Our tour guide, Juliana was very professional and always had an answer for any questions posed to her. The bike ride was casual and not challenging. The bikes were very good quality and the meeting point is quite close to the Duomo. If you want to see old Florence and like history, this is the company you choose.

Delightful way to take in Florence

Meg_B, Oct 2025
A nice way to see the city. Florence is beautiful but there are lots of tourists. Guide was informative, entertaining, took questions and and showed us both sides of the river. The tour did run almost 45 minutes past the advertised length. Not complaining, just something to keep in mind especially if you have other bookings and plans for the day. Pro-tip: Beware the crowds and keep your eyes open for chaotic vehicle and foot traffic. The city center is VERY crowded.

Incredible Tour with Julia

Riccinni_B, Oct 2025
Our family of 5 booked this bike tour and we had a blast! The sweet and pretty lady who checked us in was professional! The bikes were new and excellent condition. It was helpful that the facility had a bathroom (we just came from seeing the Statue of David which was less than 10 minute walk). We learned so much from Julia! She was like a walking encyclopedia! She took us to all the highlights of Florence! And she made sure we were all safe. I was always the one behind and she always checked up that no one got lost. We all had an ear piece (which was super helpful) so we heard stories and facts from the places we passed! We learned about people, history, art, fashion, food, etc. It was wonderful passing by a local bakery where we were able to buy treats that we wanted to eat. The 2 hours flew by! Our daughter booked a museum entry 30 minutes after the scheduled ending and that was our mistake. The tour may go past 12 pm plus you may want to go back to spend more time at the restaurants, plazas, etc that the guide introduced to you! Thank you, Julia, for being an EXCELLENT guide! Your passion was evident! You are a true Florence Ambassador!

Sunset tour of Florence

Dianne_M, Oct 2025
We did the 5:00 tour and loved it. Our guide, Julia, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She was clearly passionate about her city and gave us insights into the history and lots of tips and local pointers. She added to the itinerary to take us to a sight we were interested in. The bikes were comfortable and rode well. The evening time slot gave us great light for photos, even timing a sunset behind Ponte Veccio. A great way to get an overview of the city for us first time visitors.

Great way to experience Florence

Jennifer_N, Oct 2025
What a great activity, riding a bike around the beautiful city of Florence. Our guide Julia was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a historical perspective of the churches and palaces we stopped to see. She also pointed out good restaurants, famous gelato stores and bakeries. This was really a fun ride. Highly recommend.

Would recommend!

Stephanie_M, Sep 2025
I highly recommend this tour! You can see so much more on bike than on foot. Our guide Julia was fantastic with many suggestions for places to try around Florence. We only had 4 in our group so it was a great small group experience.

Juliet our guide was passionate about her city. She made us feel welcome and of course safe as we rode through the city streets. Great way to understand the layout and history of Florence

June_M, Sep 2025
It exceeded our expectations in every way! Francesco was very passionate and knowledgeable. I wish we could bring him with us for the rest of our Italy trip! He really brought Florence to life for us!

Excellent way to see highlights of Florence

Philip_R, Sep 2025
Excellent tour would highly recommend and our guide was so helpful she couldn’t of done more to ensure we enjoyed the trip around Florence

Great bike tour!

Maegan_W, Aug 2025
We had such a fantastic time on our Florence bike tour with Julia! She was an incredible guide—warm, knowledgeable, and great at keeping our two boys engaged throughout. It was such a treat to have the tour to ourselves, which made the whole experience feel personal and tailored. Julia managed to strike the perfect balance of fun and information, which was ideal since our boys were completely over traditional sightseeing by that point. Riding through the city made it exciting for them and stress-free for us. We covered so much more ground than we could have on foot, and it truly was the best way to see Florence with kids. I can’t recommend this tour enough for families. Julia made Florence come alive for all of us, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

Outstanding!

Keith_G, Aug 2025
Price - fabulous. Communication from the company - efficient, polite and effective. The tour guide (Francesco) was amazing - so informed, so natural and passionate. It was just a stunning part of the holiday. Highly recommend to anyone of any age! Keep up the great work.

Great way to explore Firenze and its history

Frans_d, Aug 2025
Very good overview of the city and its (very interesting) history. Our guid, Raffaello, was very knowledgeable and talked about the rich history of Firenze in a very enthusiastic and inspiring way.

Florence on bike

jim_f, Jul 2025
We took the 2 hr bike tour. Our guide Mateo was so nice & knowledgeable about the history of this great city and Italy in general. Travelled with a smaller group with visitors from Australia. Wonderful 2 hrs making 10 or so stops around the city..

Great way to see Florence at sunset

Atsushi_K, Jul 2025
I joined this tour without much planning, just hoping to see the main spots—and it really delivered. We visited all the highlights, including the Duomo and Michelangelo Square. Our guide Lorenzo was fantastic: clear English, great explanations, and he even shared a sweet story about how his parents met in one of the squares. He had to leave halfway through, but Giulia took over and was just as kind and professional. I was a bit worried the bikes looked underinflated, but they were actually super easy to ride—even going uphill was fine. The tour felt a little long for me (it was hot!), but it cooled down near the end, and riding through Florence at sunset was just beautiful.

Fabulous and safe

zahrahkarmali, Jul 2025
Fantastic tour guide with great knowledge and history! My 12 year old was very comfortable. Bikes were great. I think I our guides name was Isla.
