I would highly recommend this bike tour excursion. I have been to Firenze many times but liked how this tour was a great way to see the entire city from the outskirts to the city center. Sarah is a great tour guide and is super knowledgeable about the history of Firenze. This is a must no matter how many times you have visited this great city.

2 hours well spent, the cycling pace was easy going, Florence is flat. Catrine was our friendly, knowledgable, experienced guide. We learned Florence history and saw the highlights.

Family from Canada loved this bike tour through Florence!

Jason_B, May 2025
Only 6 of us on a great 2 hour bike tour. Lorenzo was enthusiastic and friendly and passionate and extremely knowledgeable. Was very busy to bike in Florence as people were everywhere but that isn't a fault of the tour. Would definitely recommend. Bottled water provided. Bikes easy to ride.

Thank you for your great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the ride — Florence truly is perfect for cycling, and we're glad the pace, route, and insights from our guide made it a smooth and memorable experience. We hope to see you again soon with Towns of Italy!

Do NOT book this tour. This company has no empathy and doesn't care about its customers.

neasa_D, Jan 2025
I have never left a poor review for any service in my life before but I was treated so badly by this company who made zero effort to stick to their own schedule despite the fact that I explained when I arrived I had another booking at the uffizi 15mins after their tour was due to complete. We did not even start the tour until 40 mins after we arrived which meant we would have to make our own way back to base due to their late start. After we arrived. 20 mins into the tour we stopped for a toilet break (support coffee shop) and was told there would be another toilet break in 20 mins. I asked could this second toilet break be delayed until after we had to leave so that at least we could get to experiencess as much of the tour as possible but no this did not happen. It was more important that we stopped to buy at their chosen cafes then to facilitate their customers. The tour guide was poor and did not tell me much I didn't know already. We cycled back to base by ourselves and I was upset and asked politely if they would consider at least a partial refund. I have not heard from them since.

Great way to see the city

Carmel_C, Oct 2024
Had a great bike tour. Comfortable bikes, knowledgeable guide, even the rain didn’t dampen our experience. Complimentary water and rain poncho, with a short break for coffee all included. Would definitely recommend

Florence bike tour

JayMe_P, Oct 2024
The time of the trip and the route and sites was good. The guide could have spoken clearer and explained slower with the different languages. it was a bit like she had done it hundreds of times. A bathroom at the tourist office would be nice.

Bike through the crowd

Bike tour was great, so much history and many great sites of Florence. We enjoyed our guide, who is a native, and was so knowledgable and friendly. Had so much passion for his beautiful city. Also shared with us the “locals” insight on great gelato and Restaurants, away from the touristy areas. Have been to Florence in past, and this was a great way to see many great sites on wheels.
