Great tour by Fabio. Easy ride past points of interest. With a coffee break along the way. Fabio has great knowledge of Florence and gave suggestions of what to see and do as well as places to eat, where to get the best gelato and even where to buy leather. Great way to get your bearings if you do early in your visit to Florence.

Our whole experience with Florence town tours was just overall disappointing. We arrived in Florence with the excitement that the bike tour would be our first exposure and a chance to see all the highlights and then return to explore the sites more. We contacted the company to say we were running late and they said that was fine. On arrival at 3pm we were told that due to the rainy weather it was too dangerous to cycle. Which I appreciated it had rained and I wasn’t questioning that. However they had cancelled the tours all day, with no contact or no pre-email to say that the tours had cancelled. We were running to quite a tight schedule and only spending 1 and a half days in Florence. all we got on arrival was the tours cancelled, no refunds either, reschedule for another day, take a credit note or we can take you on a walk. It felt like we were backed into a corner and when I explained that we didn’t have another day to reschedule the woman simply replied… we’ll loose your money then. After looking forward to this tour all week, it was just disappointing customer service, they lady wasn’t at all helpful and we left feeling very deflated.

We booked this tour as our first exposure to the city, and it was the perfect way to get our bearings and see the sites. We were the only two on the tour, which gave it a personal touch. Fabio was knowledgeable and a good guide!
