Private Bike Tours of Florence
Florence is best at the pace of a bicycle: fast enough to cover the great squares and the riverside, slow enough to notice the details a coach never reaches. With a private guide and a route built around you, it’s one of the most enjoyable — and most local — ways to see the city.
Two ways to ride
The city ride is easy and sociable: the piazzas, the Arno and the quieter back streets most visitors miss, with stops at the landmarks and a coffee along the way. The countryside ride heads out through the hills and vineyards south of the city, with a stop for lunch or a tasting. Prefer a hand on the climbs? We’ll put you on an e-bike through Chianti instead.

Not at all. Florence’s historic centre is flat and compact, and the pace is relaxed with plenty of stops.
Can children join a bike tour?
Yes. We fit bikes to riders of all ages and choose a route to suit the youngest in your group.
City bikes or e-bikes?
City and trekking bikes are ideal for the flat centre; for the surrounding hills we recommend an e-bike so everyone can keep up comfortably.
Where does the tour start?
We collect you from your hotel or meet at a convenient central point in Florence, confirmed when you book.
Is it safe to cycle in Florence?
Yes, with a guide who knows the quiet routes and the traffic-limited zones. We stay on calm streets and the riverside wherever possible.
What if the weather is poor?
For rain we reschedule or suggest an alternative. We confirm conditions the day before your ride.
How long is the tour?
City rides run about two to three hours; countryside routes can be a half or full day with lunch or a tasting.
Can the bike tour be combined with other experiences?
Yes — it pairs well with a food tour, a museum morning, or a Chianti wine afternoon. We’ll build the day around your interests.
