2.2.5 hour Audio Guided Bike Tour led by Tour Leader

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 36 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $46Best value

Spend 2.5 hours cycling Florence’s historic center with an English-speaking tour leader and audio guide in 18 languages. See the Duomo, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Uffizi, and more, with stops for photos. The route covers a lot, but busy streets and older bikes can make riding less smooth.

“Leonardo hat uns sehr gut durch die Stadt geführt und pünktlich abgeholt. Vom Treffpunkt ging es zum Fahrradverleih die Räder abholen. Da die Stadt recht voll war ( wie meistens ) müssen wir natürlich oft absteigen. Leonardo hat uns auf Englisch viel erklärt - bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten kamen die Infos auf Deutsch mittels Ohrenstöpsel. Preis-Leisung top - knapp drei Stunden Spaß und Unterhaltung zu viert, eine kleine Gruppe. Danke Leonardo.”

“There were 6 in our party. We road e-bikes to the volcano and back. The highways were busy and a bit scary at first but the vehicles were very accommodating to those on bikes as long as you stick to the sides of the road and adhered to the parks regulations there were no problems. The audio/map app was a bit hard to navigate, but trails and paths were easily found. Lots of maps on the way to follow. The views of the volcano spectacular. Beautiful, fun and exciting adventure. Would do it again. The e-bikes from Hilo on Bikes, were top notch and easy to operate. Fun fun activity.…”
