What a fun workout, navigating streets and people while seeing more of the sights of Florence than possible on foot in 2 hours. Our guide was so knowledgeable about everywhere we stopped, we didn't ask a question he couldn't answer.
Very good experience

Excellent experience. Our very charismatic and concerned guide of the group. The bikes are in very good condition, so pedaling through the streets of Florence and knowing about its history was really very entertaining and enjoyable.

We had a great time seeing the city with Maria as our guide! She had an amazing grasp on the history of the city and made the 2 hours really fun. I would suggest this tour to anyone interested seeing the city and hopefully Maria is your guide as well!

This was the perfect blend of fun and chaos. We rode on a Saturday and it was very busy. People, cars, bikes, and Vespa’s were everywhere, and I had fun dodging and weaving. Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable on the sites. However, my wife’s earpiece kept falling off… if you have small ears, you’ll have a problem keeping the earpiece attached.
Highly recommended

2 hours well spent, the cycling pace was easy going, Florence is flat. Catrine was our friendly, knowledgable, experienced guide. We learned Florence history and saw the highlights.

The bike ride was fine, nice enthusiastic guide. However, the bike ride is 2 hours instead of 3 hours and there is no ice cream tasting. They haven’t been doing the ice cream tasting for 2 years 😳. Although we indicated that we found it special that we booked and paid for a longer excursion with tasting, there is no compensation of part of the price of the excursion. That's a shame. I do think Viator should change the description Cannes excursion.
Easy Ride, Interesting History

This was our third visit to Florence and our first bike tour there. Fabio was wonderful!! He pointed out details and told stories about parts of Florence and its buildings we’ve walked past without noticing before. Fabio loves what he does which comes through in how he excitedly talks to the group. Whether you’re getting to know the city for the first time or love it and want to zoom in on some of its history, this is a great tour!!

We had a nice morning bike ride thru the city. I recommend you doing this before any other tours as it will give you a great perspective of the city and best places to visit. We stopped at numerous places and our guide was an incredibile historian and discussed each place we stopped. Easy flat ride too. Definitely recommend it!
Great tour with Lorenzo. He was magnificent!
