A Unique View of Florence - 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.

Interesting and beautiful bike tour through Florence - Interesting and beautiful bike tour through Florence with Stefy. Unfortunately we arrived 15 minutes late, but the organization called us and waited to leave.
You see a lot more in the same time on a bike than on foot. Pace is easy to keep up and traffic is not too bad. Recommended!

Do it - 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.

Bike Tour in Florence - 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.

Ok but not god - The guide was unenthusiastic and it was difficult to understand the English in the earpiece. And while biking, if you were in the back you did not here anything
