Guidekin's take

A guided ride on vintage bikes through the centre, past Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi and Piazza della Signoria, with helmets, a licensed guide and a group capped at twelve; an electric bike upgrade and a private version are options.

Rain does not cancel it: the operator may switch to a walking tour with no refund. 4.51 from 527 reviews at €45 per person.

Best for: English small group: twelve max, vintage bikes at €45 per person for 2h; rain may mean walking. 4.51 from 527 reviews. Bike & E-Bike Tours comparison

Trade-off: Heavy rain may turn the ride into a walking tour.

Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Take a small group bike tour (maximum 12 people) through Florence. Ride around the city and be inspired by the Renaissance on a comfortable bike. You'll cycle in the city of Florence and ducking and weaving between narrow streets along the way too. See all of the major city sites including the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and Piazza della Repubblica.

The operator's own notes, grouped by topic. Nothing here is added by Guidekin.

Walking and health

  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Rain Policy The tour will never be cancelled due to rain. We will do our best to proceed with the bike tour, however, in case of heavy rain, we might decide to stop the bike tour and proceed with a walking tour instead (or just start with a walking tour if the weather does not allow to use the bikes at the time of the meeting point). Should the weather get better during the tour, we will try to get back on board, when possible. Guest options on rainy days: 1) Proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather - with the understanding that no refund or discount will be given if bikes are not ridden due to rain, or if the bike tour is abbreviated due to rain. We will do our best to get you on a bike, weather permitting. 2) Rain check (of the same amount clients paid) to be used the following day or at any other time, subject to availability. The Rain check is a voucher given to client. The voucher is transferable and may be sold or given to others to use at a future date and lasts up to 1 year from date. It has a value that can be possible used in any other tour provided by our company. Please note that clients' safety and comfort are of utmost priority, and proper rain gear is mandatory for guests choosing to "ride in the possible rain". We ask clients to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour departure, to check the weather conditions and choose accordingly. No-shows will not be refunded.
