“Nice way to know the city. Very good recommendations from the guide and a great adventure. It rained but we continue with the water and the adventure was even better. Nice view points and the guide knows a lot of languages. The bikes were so good and perfect for the tour. The city is very crowded so I cannot image how a group con ride in the summer. Don’t so this in summer haha because in autumn it was a little bit hard ride on the streets. I think if you prefer meeting the city over the museums this will be the perfect plan for you! I just took that…”

She answered all of our history questions and gave us a new information about the city I never knew, even though this was my 3rd time visiting Florence! She made sure our bikes fit well and she offered water and rain ponchos (just in case). I was worried about riding bikes in the city because of the bumpy stone sidewalks and streets but she made sure we all stayed together and crossed streets safely. Would definitely take this tour again! Highly recommend.Read more”

Lots of stop/ starting at traffic lights, pedestrian crossing and weaving through the city streets waiting for the group to catch up. Unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations and disappointing.”
