My family (2 children, parents and grandparents) did a wonderful bike tour of Florence. Our guide, Julia, was terrific and extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. She picked a great route, showing us loads of sights without too much traffic, allowing us to see much more than we would if we were on foot. Would recommend for all ages.
Julia was an excellent guide. She was diligent about taking time to show us places of interest, taking photos of us, recommending places to go for great local food. She was not simply focused on the tourist points. She also showed us places the locals like to go. Different restaurants, places for a drink, gellatto, markets, etc. She didn't rush us at any of the places we stopped to visit. She made an otherwise hot day, very pleasant and truly memorable.
This was the first thing we did when we got to Florence. It was a great way to get oriented to the city. Our guide, Julia, was fabulous. She studied art history and has a passion for Florence and its transcendent beauty. She was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!.
We didnt have alot of time in Florence and this tour gave you a brief look at the main attractions in Florence. It was well organised, The guide was amazing. She was really helpful and patient with us. We seen and learnt so much on our tour. We are so glad we chose to do this. We had enough time for photos etc and if you found something that interested you, you could always go back by yourself later
