Our tour guide Frederica was an absolute joy! Very k owl Edgar and answered all of the questions we asked. This was the perfect way to see the pin points of Florence. This bike tour takes you around locations which means you will be biking with the traffic so make sure you know how to ride a bike. I highly recommend this tour, perfect way to get around Florence

Ricardo was super knowledgeable about Florentine history and culture. He took us all over and saw the main cathedrals and point sof interest. We went in some really cool back streets through our Florence. He took extra time to answer our questions. Great tour! Thank you Ricardo and Florence Town Tours!

Lovely tour great way to see Florence

Lovely tour great way to see Florence, guide was knowledgeable and explained a lot of interesting historical info along the sites we visited. The ice cream tasting wasn’t just a tasting it was a free ice cream which was delicious! What was great also was the audio device so we could hear the tourguide at all times. I think what can make the tour great is to add levels of intensity for less or more experienced bikers, this tour is on a very easy biking level with experienced bikers which resulted in us going through the sites faster And I would also suggest more structural explaining of the sites visited.
