What a wonderful way to explore and cover significant ground in Florence! Born and raised in Florence, Manolo is a fount of knowledge, and he is an engaging and dynamic guide. He also made us feel safe biking in a group that included our 13- and 10-year-olds. Bravo, Manolo, on a job well done! We highly recommend this tour.

Urban bikers need to be able to do more than just ride a bike. You need to be able to navigate pedestrians and traffic too! Our guide did an excellent job at leading our group throughout the ride.

Loved the tour- we had boys 9 and 13, and it was safe for them to ride around the city. The kids said it was the best tour we have done during the entire trip. A nice gelato stop and good recommendations from the guide. Highly recommend it, def a must do
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're thrilled the whole family enjoyed the tour, and that your boys said it was the best one of the trip, that really means a lot. It's great to hear the route felt safe for them and that the gelato stop was a hit too. Thanks for highly recommending us, we hope to welcome your family back to Florence again soon!

It is out in traffic but manageable. Bouncy rides but no real hills.
The info is interesting if heavily slanted as you might expect.
They take their job seriously, taking care of you and answering questions.

Fantastic tour of Florence. Great bikes, no need for e-bike upgrade. The tour was informative, fun, entertaining and even included a gelato stop! Our guide, Giovanni, was fantastic and did a great job keeping us safe and giving us the history. We traveled with our 2 kids (ages 10 and 12) who have experience riding bikes in US streets with cars, but this was next level. We still felt safe and had a great experience. It was a great experience, only about 4 miles of riding, but lots of great information and fun a long the way. Thanks Giovanni!
Joanne_C, Jun 2026
Great morning spent biking through the various areas of Florence. Good way to get an overall orientation with plenty of history and information along the way and then decide what you would like to explore further on your own. Had a great guide and a great activity.
Luke_W, May 2026
A great way to see many of the sights in Florence in a single morning! Our guide Jojo was wonderful!
Joseph_M, May 2026
We had Claudia as our tour guide and she was fantastic. Friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We had such a good time & it was great to get some recommendations from her about the local food scene.
Loved it!
Alyson_S, Apr 2026
Great way to see Florence and learn of the history and highlights. Nicely paced tour, time to explore a bit we did not have e-bikes as unnecessary in Florence. Big thumbs up to Veronica for a fun tour, thank youFun paced tour
Peter_D, Apr 2026
The route was thoughtfully planned, taking us through both the famous landmarks and some hidden gems I never would have discovered on my own. Riding through the historic streets gave me a unique perspective of the city, and it was such a fun way to explore without feeling rushed.
Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Florence. He shared interesting stories and historical insights that really brought the city to life, all while making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and safe.
The bikes were in great condition, and the pace was perfect for all skill levels. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to Florence, I highly recommend this tour. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the beauty, culture, and charm of the city!

What an amazing experience! We went on a tour with our two teenage boys. Alice did an amazing job! Part history, part adventure, and loads of laughs! Thanks for a great time!!!
Camille_D, Oct 2025
Provided a look at the 4 neighborhoods of Florence plus the main sights! Our tour guide Alessandra was born and raised in Florence so had a lot of insights into the city - places to eat, museums to see etc. plus she was very funny!
Lee_K, Oct 2025
This is not a fast cycling ride, but rather, a leisurely ride. However, there are often pedestrians, cars and motorcycles to dodge while riding (usually slowly) along bumpy streets as you take in sights. Some biking confidence is needed.
Our guide, Manuel, was very pleasant and informative and led our group of 11 riders easily. We had headsets that allowed us to hear his comments as we rode, which was great. The tour took us to various central squares and key sights (such as Duomo, Ponte Vecchio) and provided a nice introduction to the old city. We periodically stopped for our guide’s explanation of points of interest and associated history, which we found interesting.
Our day was sunny and beautiful and starting with the first tour of the day made vehicle/people congestion less than would occur later in the day.

Fun bike ride around town with fun facts for adults about the interesting city and Florence history. Even with small kids it was fun and safe and our youngest (5) went behind dad on an extra wheel and our oldest (7) did it on her own bike! Kids see other things in towns and they noticed other things on bikes than in a car or walking
Simon_H, Sep 2025
This is a really fantastic and comprehensive tour of the main squares and sites of Florence. Veronica was a superb and knowledgeable guide with a ton of local knowledge. Highly recommend
Danielle_L, Sep 2025
Great activity for a solo traveler! Manuel was super knowledgeable and made the ride fun! It was just over 5 miles, but with lots of breaks and stops
Marc_T, Aug 2025
We had a fantastic tour with this company. Only 8 people in our group, great new bikes and a nice headset, so everybody could well understand the guide (Giovanni). Great guy. So relaxed, took time for every question. Not too much information, lots of anecdotes and funny facts. Saw all the highlights. Our compliments! 5/5
Tony_R, Jul 2025
Tremendous way to visit Florence! Our guide was delightful. We signed up for a three hour trip, and i was afraid it would be too long, but it went by in a flash. Highly recommended!
Ronald_R, Jun 2025
Paolo was a great tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to learn a little about Florence.

We had a wonderful time on the Highlights of Florence bike tour. We did this the first day we arrived in Florence and were able to see the entire city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly!

We had such a lovely time on our Florence bike tour! CJ, our tour guide, was such a great guide - funny, knowledgeable and so friendly. A really great way to get your bearings in a new city, learn about the history, and see some of the gorgeous sights!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Grazie mille Katherine! CJ is really awesome!
Robert_D, Aug 2024
Really enjoyed this tour - very relaxed and lovely to get a bit of breeze in the heat. Good guide with some interesting stories and comfy bikes.
Susanne_H, May 2024
A nice option to get an overview of Flirence. Friendly staff. Some more historical detail apart from.storytellung would have been appreciated.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Susann, my apologies that the tour did not live up to your expectations. All of our guides are fully licensed professionals who can answer any question you might have, but yes we design the bike tour as an "overview" of the city, and we find the best way to bring the history to life is by telling the stories associated with each site that we visit. Facts and figures tend to lose people's interest and we work hard to make sure the tour is fascinating...
Noreen_S, Apr 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour of Florence led calmly and capably by our guide, Bene. Bene is friendly and easy-going, and kept a close eye on her flock of five cyclists as we learned to manoevre the pedestrians, scooters, cars and other bikes in the narrow central streets of Florence. This tour is best suited for those comfortable with the challenges of urban cycling. The bikes were newer 3-speed bikes (although the route is generally flat) and are well-tuned. The tour is well-paced, with a nice mix of stops, information and photo ops.
We highly recommend this tour as it represents excellent value for a fun Florentine experience.
Wayne_S, Apr 2024
Really enjoyed the informative commentary and guiding throughout the trip. Would highly recommend this tour group to any visitor to Florence,
Florence_B, Nov 2023
Great guide who made the tour very interesting. Friendly people at the office too. Great location to start the tour.
james_d, Sep 2023
The ride was so nice. Our guide was a wonderful lady with excellent historical descriptions of all the sights. Our group was like a team guided through the top things to see in Florence. That afternoon and next day we visited all the places she took us by foot. Excellent experience to say the least. My wife was unsure she could do it before we started, but there where enough stops to make it easy and enjoyable for her. My 23 year old daughter loved the beautiful trip.
Kelli_D, Sep 2023
Great way to see the city of Florence!
Informative tour guide that takes you to all the main attractions where you can decide to return to see more
Mary_H, Sep 2023
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Enjoyed seeing many sights in Florence not reachable by car. It was very crowded most places and challenging to maneuver bike through people and vehicles.
Janette_R, Sep 2023
Loved biking the streets of Florence, weaving in and out of the bustling city. Our guide was wonderful too. This is a fantastic way of seeing Florence
