The tour was amazing. Our guide Amar was fantastic, very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He made sure we were comfortable with the bikes and had a lot of interesting conversation. He also made sure we were safe while cycling on the roads and explained a lot of interesting history on the stops. The cheese, wine, bread and olive oil were incredible, the best we had ever tried. All in all was an amazing experience definitely worthwhile to do. The tour helps you feel more connected to the city then just walking around and learning on your own.

Josepho was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely attendant, very friendly and knowledgeable, and loved sharing them. He took us to all the amazing spots, and extremely patient. The biking route was definitely not an easy ride, expect multiple uphills and riding through Florentine traffic, but very worthwhile!

Great tour of the Oltrarno just outside the city walls, from where the tour starts. Our guide, Alessandro, was very knowledgeable and enthusiast about Florentine and Italian local/contemporary culture, history, landmarks, art, agriculture, etc. and shared his knowledge along the way. We were treated to a great snack (more like a meal) of meats, cheeses, wine, breads, and olive oil at the top of the hill from which we could see all of central Florence. A wonderful way to see a part of Florence we would have otherwise missed.

This trip was a highlight of our Florence experience ! Our guide was AMAZING — very attentive and responsive to our differing stamina levels. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions ! I highly recommend this trip. If you’re not sure you can do it, just get the electric bike option and have a great day ! Barb
