This was a great tour of the city, highly recommend! Our guide Julia gave great history lessons, asked if there was anything specific we wanted to see, and gave great recommendations. Great start to our time in Florence!
Brilliant tour! Our guide Julia was excellent. Fun, informative, knew back streets to keep us in the shade and avoid the crowds. Would highly recommend to orientate you round this beautiful city as you see so much. So much history here.
Our guide did the best she could, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to enjoy the tour.
- there was not a lot of distance covered when biking
- all of the sights covered could easily be covered by a good day of walking
- many of the squares don’t allow riding so had to dismount and walk through crowds with the bike
- the audio was fine for us but others had issues at least to start
- the bikes were not safe. The mechanic was on vacation and one of our bikes broke down and we had to wait for a new bike. It was missing the part to keep the wheel attached. Luckily it didn’t cause an accident.
Do yourselves a favour and walk around or join a walking tour.
A great way to be introduced to Florence.
It’s a very easy ride to do, and our guide Julia was wonderful.
I only had one day in Florence and looked for an efficient way to see the main sights and get an idea what Florence is about past and present. The tour did all that and was a lot of fun. Outstanding guide Julia provided history & context & was super committed to give us the best tour experience, going uphill to the Rose Garden with us for an amazing view of Florence. Comfortable bike, very enjoyable throughout.
The guide was excellent, and we learned a lot about Florence from him. A great way to get to know the city!
My family (2 children, parents and grandparents) did a wonderful bike tour of Florence. Our guide, Julia, was terrific and extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. She picked a great route, showing us loads of sights without too much traffic, allowing us to see much more than we would if we were on foot. Would recommend for all ages.
Julia was an excellent guide. She was diligent about taking time to show us places of interest, taking photos of us, recommending places to go for great local food. She was not simply focused on the tourist points. She also showed us places the locals like to go. Different restaurants, places for a drink, gellatto, markets, etc. She didn't rush us at any of the places we stopped to visit. She made an otherwise hot day, very pleasant and truly memorable.
This was the first thing we did when we got to Florence. It was a great way to get oriented to the city. Our guide, Julia, was fabulous. She studied art history and has a passion for Florence and its transcendent beauty. She was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!.
We didnt have alot of time in Florence and this tour gave you a brief look at the main attractions in Florence. It was well organised, The guide was amazing. She was really helpful and patient with us. We seen and learnt so much on our tour. We are so glad we chose to do this. We had enough time for photos etc and if you found something that interested you, you could always go back by yourself later
Our guide Lorenzo was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Florence. He made our ride fun and knew great roads to take that were less busy. Book this tour, you will not be disappointed. Great bikes with bells, a bag and helmet.
Highly recommend. Riding was fairly easy Hihly recommend! Very easy ride even with all the traffic and people walking about. Got to see and hear the history behind the sites we stopped at. The guide pointed out things to go see, areas locals shop and eat at. The guide even pointed out little details you might not know even notice as you took in all the sites. L
We had a great tour guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable! Great time was had by all! Highly recommend!
This was such a fun and beautiful way to see Florence without all of the monotonous walking. We had children with us and this kept them well entertained and busy. Our tour guide- she was helpful, knowledgeable, personable, and patient, always making sure no one got lost or left behind.
Great way to see Florence! Julia was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and took her time. It was a great experience!
A bike tour is the best way to start a visit to a new city. This bike tour is a great way to start your visit to Florence and get oriented with the city, whilst learning the main sights (and gelato spots).
The ride itself around Florence was a great overview of the city. The guide was very informative, although at times it would have been nice to have more of a historical overview than such in-depth history. Guide rode through crowds and traffic lights without checking to be sure everyone got through with him, and we lost sight of him several times, once almost missing a turn and losing the group altogether.
Amazing way to see Florence! We were able to cover so much ground and learned along the way. My entire family loved it!! Highly recommend!
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.
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.
Fantastic tour with Julia! A wonderful way to see the city. Julia was kind and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
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
This was a Great way to see Florence. We Covered a lot of ground on the tour. Our guide Julia had great energy.
It was a beautiful day and the tour encompassed lovely bits of history as well as tips on best places to eat and shop. Highly recommend! Try and do it at the beginning of your trip so you can see where you’d like to go after.
Wonderful tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. We had so much fun riding around Florence on nice bikes learning so much about the city. Easy pace and she guides you safely through the beautiful city. Must do this if you are visiting Florence.
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 well guided by Julia with bikes in good condition. Took in all the main points of interest.
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.
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.
Our guide (Julia?) provided good information, and she made an extra stop (not in the original itinerary) for some FANTASTIC views!
