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.

Florence Bike 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!

Amazing for families!

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!

Nice city introduction

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.

Family fun for all ages

LauraStoumann_V, Oct 2025
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

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

Great tour by great guide. Recommend!

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

Tour went by in a flash!

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...

A Unique View of Florence

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.

Great way to see Florence.

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,

Great experience

Florence_B, Nov 2023
Great guide who made the tour very interesting. Friendly people at the office too. Great location to start the tour.

Do it

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.

Let’s ride!

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

Bike Tour in Florence

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.

Go see Florence by bike

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

Fun and informative bike tour

Thomas_R, Aug 2023
Great way to see the sights of Florence - bikes were comfy and cooler than walking and the tour was fun and full of interest for all

Fun way to see a remarkable city

Lorraine_G, Jul 2023
When you only have 24 hours this is a great fun way to see and learn something about where you are. Francesca was our personal guide on our tour of this remarkable city. She was knowledgeable and super friendly. Grazie

Great tour!

Nate_M, Jun 2023
Our bike tour was fantastic! Our guide, Andrea, was informative and funny. He was born and raised in Florence which makes for a great tour.

Lovely Intro to Florence!

Kevin_D, Apr 2023
Great way to get acquainted with the city center and its history at a relatively high level to peak your curiosities and get a lay of the land a bit ahead of your stay! My phone GPS kept track of where we rode by bike so I could revisit any sites we passed that I wanted to see again. Low-level exertion and requires navigating through crows by bike - the bike's bell will be your friend! 5/5 enjoyed the experience and well worth the cost.

Beautiful & Relaxing overview of Florence

Stephanie_A, Jan 2023
Francesca was our guide, and I had a fantastic time. She had a genuine warmth and I could feel her interest in us as individuals when she engaged with us at each stop. Bike tours always make me love a city more and the speakers each of us had (connected to our guide’s mic) was a game changer for me. It’s the most ideal thing for a bike tour. Lovely tour. Even when some bikes broke down, Francesca calmly fixed them or called the office to replace. No stress.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Grazie!

Incredible Tour!!!

Aimee_S, Nov 2022
We had the best time and an amazing experience! It's a wonderful and easy way to see many of the fantastic sights in Florence. Our guide, Guido, was fantastic! He gave us a ton of history about each place we stopped and was very knowledgeable. We had a group of 5 people and it was easy to get around even with the crowds. A must-do while you're there and I recommend doing it on your first day to really understand the city and where things are.

Fantastic Tour

William_D, Oct 2022
Christina took us to see some very interesting historical sites. Her knowledge was astounding and gave us great insight into Florence and helped us to get a good layout of the city. It rained quite a bit but we were provided ponchos and thoroughly enjoyed our time. I would highly recommend this tour!
