The Motorcycle Diary

Jolimar_S, Jun 2024

A wonderful tour of Florence on an iconic motorcycle and with a friendly native, journalistic guide who narrated the history with hints of curiosities while we enjoyed the beautiful landscape with the feeling of freedom that the motorcycle provides.

Thank you Jolimar! Be back for the Chianti and Wine ride… Tommy

Motorcycle and sidecar

This was a lot of fun. Tomas was an excellent guide and showed us so many historical sites. The description of the tour on the website and the actual tour were different but we still were very pleased with this tour. I highly recommend it.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Ciao Guys! Thanks for your kind review. Yes, sometimes we have to modify the itinerary according to the rules of the Traffic Limited Area in town… A presto! Tommy

Florence by Motorcycle

Paul_K, Nov 2022

An awesome adventure! It was so much fun to see the area in and around Florence while riding in the sidecar of a Ural motorcycle. Gilberto was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and personable. The itinerary was great, allowing me to see the city from the hills above the city for some spectacular photos. Gilberto showed me the real countryside outside of the city and I learned a lot about the local agriculture, as well as the history of the city and its important landmarks. The company was so good to work with, communication was easy and straightforward. When my arrival into the city was delayed they worked with me to adjust to my schedule. I really appreciated it! When I come back to Florence I am doing this tour again!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thanks Paul! Be back soon, Gilberto

Highly Recommend - 5-Stars!

A tour not to be missed

karen_r, May 2019

A fantastic tour. Our 2 guides couldn't be more helpful. They gave us so much information and went to places you wouldn't find on your own. It made you smile all the time you were on your tour as it was different and fun. Would highly recommend his tour. A great end to our week in Florence
