About
Our bike tours will take you along off the beaten track, too far to walk and too narrow for a bus. In two hours you will visit, together with our official guides, the main points of interest in the city, including: the artisans' quarter, Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio, the Galleria degli Uffizi (the most important museum in the city), Santa Croce, Piazza della Signoria, the cathedral (the Duomo) . During this pleasant excursion, you will discover all the curiosities about Florence and even the best places to savor the classic Florentine steak, ice cream and truffles. This tour is a simple but perfect introduction to Florence. We are sure that you will agree with us that the best way to get to know the "cradle of the Renaissance" is by bicycle.
Pedal from the center to Piazzale Michelangelo where you can admire a panorama that will take your breath away.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- elsalY2868FV0 contributionsDo this tour- you won’t regret it!Julia was our guide and had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Florence- we ventured down so many side streets and alleyways that we otherwise would have never explored. It was a brilliant way to cover a lot of ground and get our bearings. Thanks again so much!Written 5 November 2024
- Yvonne B0 contributionsPerfect way to get to know FlorenceGiulia (Julia) our guide was enthusiastic and passionate about Firenze and the history. We had the 2 hour tour on bikes that were in good condition (normal bikes) Despite the crowds, we were guided well through everything and I never felt unsafe for a moment Our guide also provided some tips along the way for ice cream, dinner or other locations to visit, and none of these recommendations disappointed. When we are in Florence again we will definitely come back for another tour!Written 21 September 2024
- mevi-hedi0 contributionsFlorence on two wheelsWe can thoroughly recommend the bicycle tour with Raffaello. He was extremely, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. It was a great insight into the history of Florence and Florentine culture and society through the ages. We would recommend this trip as your first stop. The streets of Florence are very busy, we didn’t feel at all unsafe but a little cycling experience is needed.Written 19 September 2024
- D5041PSjohnd0 contributionsWonders of FlorenceWonderful experience. Our tour guide, Julia was very gracious. We learned a lot. I certainly recommend this biking tour, without hesitation.Written 11 September 2024
- janefitzy0 contributionsGreat cycle tour with an excellent guideWe really enjoyed our cycle tour around Florence. Julia was so well informed and insightful. The cycle was easy, all on flat ground. Highly recommend.Written 8 September 2024
- marydQ829ER0 contributionsBike rideVery enjoyable. Worth having an electric bike. The guide was super friendly and organised. Would definitely do it againWritten 5 September 2024
- Naomi E0 contributionsFabulous bicycle tour of FlorenceWe all really enjoyed and learned a lot from our bike tour. Elizabeth was a generous, informative, and friendly host. Only one thing I would say is it wasn't a kick bike tour but a bicycle tour. However, as it was a very hot day, we weren't too disappointed as the bicycle tour would have been cooler 😎Written 26 July 2024
- justisjohnson20190 contributions2 hours of lesser known details of Florence and its up coming before and during the renaissance.Raffaello was an amazing guide! He is an Art History Professor with of roots and knowledge in florence. Took my Girlfriend and I on a 2 hour tour throughout historic Florence near Duomo. Showed us lesser known facts and stories about florence. The beginning of the renaissance. The beginning of Florence. He told us really cool details about architecture and buildings that were right in front of us but that would have been indistinguishable to the untrained eye. He also took us through lots of small backstreets with a lot of shade. No need to worry about sunscreen😎. 100% worth it.Written 3 July 2024
- libintheburbs0 contributionsFlorence on a bikeLorenzo led us on a great tour of the city. Bikes were a great way to see the sights and learn about the history of Florence. My husband, adult son, and I recorded the route on strava so we could return to the locations later.Written 26 June 2024
- S3721GQdavidf0 contributionsBest way to start your visit in Florence!Highly recommend. First thing we did upon arrival in Florence. Great overview of the city in just two hours. Lorenzo was terrific. Gave us great insight into the history of all of the Piazzas and local history of Florence. . Also great recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Best way to start your visit in Florence!Written 30 May 2024
- jimcT4652KV0 contributionsGREAT Tour with an Exceptional Tour GuideOn May 5, 2024 we took the guided tour of the Uifzzi Art Gallery. Unless you are an art expert, to really appreciate this fabulous museum, you need a great tour guide. Elizabeth Gurau, our tour guide, was AWESOME. Her knowledge of the paintings and the backstories behind them that she shared totally captivated all in our group. Her passion for the works of art she was showing us was readily evident. Over the past 5 years we have had many, many excellent tours in Europe with some great tour guides. Elizabeth Gurau was our BEST TOUR GUIDE ever: Knowledgeable, personable, caring, and very passionate about the great works of art. She always went the “extra mile”. Elizabeth is an absolute gem!Written 10 May 2024
- Y473DKjulianm0 contributionsTour with RaffaelloWe did the Secrets and Legends tour and our guide, Raffaello, who‘s born an raised in Florence did a wonderfull job. Not only does he know all about Florence and its hidden places but he also told us stories in an engaging, intresting and funny way. Thank you!Written 22 April 2024
- R2962GRrenatag0 contributionsExellent!Iulia walking tour was simply amazing. We spent all day together and I was extremely impressed by her knowledge and ability to entertain and educate our group. If you want to have a super quality tour, Iulia is the best for your trip to Florence.Written 4 April 2024
- davidaugsbur0 contributionsWonderful city, wonderful tour, brilliant FrancescoI always think this is one of the best ways to see a new city and booked this with that in mind. Arrived and very quickly on the bike. Comms are though earpiece and radio. Worked really well. Cycling is a little bit fraught in most major cities with so many people and narrow streets but ring your bell and people tended to move. Francesco exudes so much passion with every part of the 2+ hours. His knowledge is so impressive as his delivery. We saw all of the relevant palaces, churches, museums, statues, squares, bridges along with the famous wine doors. A stunning city with the most amazing architecture and history told brilliantly by Francesco A mustWritten 16 March 2024

Right from the start the communication with this organization was haphazard. We emailed and had no clear confirmation that the tour was confirmed until we followed up.
The 2 hour bike tour of Florence was good, but the manager and staff at the store were terrible. We chose the one hour optional extra to ride to Piazza Michelangelo… it was an extra 10 Euro and the impression was that it followed on from the 2 hour tour. However, that’s not the case at all, so be careful if you book it.
We finished the 2 hour tour then no-one at all even looked like mentioning the 1 hour extra tour. They took our bikes and we then had to ask about the extra tour. It seemed a surprise to them and they told us to sit down, they had another tour to organize and they’d get to us when they finished that. After 15 mins, and no contact we asked the staff what was happening. We were told to wait, go for a walk, get a gelato and it would be 15mins. They already had our money, and couldn’t care less that we were waiting another 30 mins plus.
There was clearly no one else doing the optional extra tour , but instead of asking us if we still wanted to do it, they seemed to be trying to squeeze it in (while we had other plans that were being delayed).
They couldn’t care less once you’ve paid.
We offered to not do the tour if it was too much trouble, but they just told us to wait. So we walked out, told them to keep our 20 Euro.
Hope they’re happy they keep out extra money for doing nothing because we certainly aren’t happy!!

Hello
We are sorry for your experience, Lorenzo, the guide did a good job but he doesn't go to piazzale Michelangelo. A second guide completes the tour going to the Piazzale afterwards. Unfortunately on that day we had some issues to handle and we couldn't follow you appropriately. We are really sorry. We can give you money back for the Second part of the tour. In that case we need a bank account.
Thanks
