2.2-Hour Guided Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 646 reviews · 2 hours · from $41

Ride central Florence with a local English-speaking guide, stopping at the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, and more. Guides such as Raffaello, Julia, and Lorenzo share stories of the city and point out places for gelato, bistecca alla Fiorentina, and wine windows. Bikes, helmets, and headsets are included. Expect crowds and uneven streets, so bring steady cycling skills.

“We learnt so much in depth history of Florence in such a compact space of time. Our Guide Rapheallo is a true florentine bohemian, embracing us with his passion for the city. It would be impossible to cover the ground we covered and uncover the hidden gems without this guided tour. A must have for families. Even on a slightly soggy day it did not dampen our spirits. The streets of Florence are extremely busy! So not recommended for people who are not fully confident and stable on a bike.”
