Description

Is it humanly possible to visit Florence on two wheels? You bet, and this small crew bike tour is perhaps the best way to do it. No motorcoach in the world can reach those narrow streets and pedestrian zones. A large part of Florence’s historical center is allocated for the use of pedestrians, so it’s great to go cycling here. Take part in this Firenze bike tour to experience much more than what an ordinary walking tour can offer because you’ll spend less time traveling between sites! An English-speaking, knowledgeable guide will go with you so that there is really nothing for you to get lost over. Moreover, they know places which are out of bounds for tourist buses!

Discover Florence's main attractions by biking around

Walking through the narrow streets of the historic centre and Oltrarno District, you can view most of the outstanding monuments of the city including the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Square but not entry to these monuments. You will also find some little known ‘hidden gems’ which give great outlooks over the city and are obviously spots to take those ‘once in a lifetime’ photographs. In case you have any questions do not hesitate to ask your guide who gladly tells you interesting anecdotes and historical insight upon your ask.

Discover the Birthplace of the Renaissance
