Don’t miss this if you want to get to the DNA of Florence! Roberto will make your trip more than a visit - he will bring those mute walls of basilicas and palaces to life. He speaks like he knew the Medici family and the artists personally. Absolutely worth it
In two hours, Roberto gave us a great history lesson of Florence that we could’ve never gotten anywhere else
Roberto was the best! His stories were interesting and memorable. We have been to Florence several times but this experience really made us see this gem of a city in a whole new way! Highly recommend.
Best tour around Florence with our knowledgeable guide Roberto - highly recommend for a family as Roberto kept our teenagers informed for the whole 2 hours around Florence. Thank you Roberto.
Loved the easy flow of the bike ride through beautiful Florence listening to fascinating stories about this historic city. Our guide Roberto was passionate, funny and made us fall in love with this city.
I highly recommend doing this bike tour with Roberto. He is a true storyteller with a great sense of humour, who went above and beyond to make sure our family had a great experience as well as educational. It’s very clear that Roberto is extremely passionate about his city of Florence and his depth of knowledge about interesting facts is enormous. He also took the time to message us after our tour with his personal favourite restaurant, pizza place and shopping - all with discounts to use. His recommendation for dinner was fantastic and the best meal we’ve had in Italy so far. Thank you Roberto!
The bike tour certainly lived up to the hype! My husband and I loved our tour led by Roberto. We were lucky enough to get a private tour — and we walked away with so many new and interesting facts about the history and places that make the city unique. We love Florence and have visited many, many times, but we both gained a new appreciation and understanding of the city’s rich history. Roberto brings so much great energy and humor to his story-telling. You won’t be disappointed. Gracie mille, Roberto!
Roberto is an amazing storyteller. He gives so much interesting context on Florence and the figures that make it what it is. The city really came to life for me as he pointed out not only historic sights bur also the tensions that arose between dueling families and competitive artists/thinkers. Most notably, Roberto is funny and engaging. And he is passionate about Florence.
If you're curious about this tour I can't recommend it enough. Roberto gave a really fun and engaging tour and gave us excellent recommendations for food and fun. We did it our first night and Florence and his recommendations have given us a new curiosity and excitement about the city. Florence is easily the one of the most beautiful cities in the world and this tour was an excellent introduction to it.
Absolutely unique fun tour. The best we had in italy. We would deffinitely reccomend it to all of our friends and family. Roberto was an assolute story telerie
Roberto brings Florence to life like no one else. With passion, humor, and astonishing knowledge, he weaves centuries of history into one captivating narrative. His unique insights and surprising details shed new light on the city’s past, making familiar places feel brand new. It was truly an unforgettable experience – we’d book this tour again without hesitation. Highly recommended!
Roberto is magnificent! He not only is very knowledgeable about Florence, but also kept us entertained the whole time! We loved biking and learning! Thank you Roberto! We can't wait to follow you on Instagram.
Very informative and interesting. Roberto was awesome guide👍🏻. The information about the artists and places was recounted in a very fun and interrsting way.
Roberto was amazing. His knowledge of Florence was incredible and he was very funny. I learned so much of Florence and saw areas that I would not have thought to go to
Excellent tour. great way of getting around Florence and with a guide who is very informative and took us to parts of central Florence which are hidden amongst the more major sites. Recommended!
Woke up to a rainy day in Florence, tired from 3 very long days in Rome. Had this tour booked and so glad we did. Even in less than ideal wet conditions, this tour invigorated us. Roberto was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide and we a great time. I would highly recommend this tour, even on a rainy day!
We had an amazing bike tour with Roberto! He’s so knowledgeable and passionate about Florence and history, we left with so much more knowledge about the city and people. We went as a couple but there was a single person and a family of 4 in our group, it was great for all ages. I highly recommend this tour, it was so fun to go around Florence by bike and Roberto’s personality and humor make the tour even more fun! Definitely check out in Florence!
Roberto was full of knowledge about Florence and is certainly passionate about his city. We didn’t do a whole lot of cycling but we saw a whole lot of the central part of Florence. A very informative tour.
This bike tour was terrific. I went with my two children ages 11 &15. We learned a lot of interesting facts and had fun doing so. Such a neat way to tour this beautiful place. Roberto was so nice and you can feel the love he has for Florence. I recommend this tour to anyone!
Our guide Roberto was the best! He has a very nice and understandable way of talking. The stories he told were very interesting and even funny sometimes. Much better than a traditional tour! Also for our 13-year-old son it was a great experience, as Roberto told many interesting things for him too. We can really recommend this tour and i.e. this guide to others! Als
Roberto my guide was well aware of the town he lives and loves. The only downside was I had rushed him and would always suggest a longer time than I gave him to truly enjoy and absorb the centuries of culture.
Extremely informative, would highly recommend it to all visitors, especially on their first day. Lovely guide. Loved the lesser known facts.
It was fantastic and because of Roberto it was it absolute worth in spite of the heath. He has got humor and tell a lot about the city and history. He showed us the places to be. Thanks Roberto Greetings Marjolein and Patrick
I often feel like everyone always writes positive reviews on tour guides since it’s kind of hard to be critical. That said, this tour is unique - in my 40 countries of travel, I’ve been on SO many walking tours, bike tours, excursions, you name it. But Roberto’s storytelling ability is incredible and will knock your shoes off! It’s 2 weeks later and I’m back in the daily grind of work… yet I STILL remember the facts and details of his tour. Highly recommend this one!
My girlfriend and I were passing through Florence and wanted to see and learn as much as we could about the city in a short amount of time. We decided to book the bike tour with Roberto and we were very glad we did. Roberto was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and the people of Florence. He spoke English better than me and English is my first and only language… 😅 he was funny and had a great personality that complemented the tour and history well. Throughout the tour we had earphones link wirelessly to a microphone Roberto wore so even as we cycled around the amazing city we were learning its secrets. A lot of time has clearly be spent learning knowledge and planning this tour. If you are in Florence and want to get a deeper understanding of its history I couldn’t recommend this tour and Roberto enough.
This was one of our favorite activities! It was a great way to see and learn about Florence. Roberto was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate. He made it fun and interesting. Our kids would agree this was one of the highlights of our visit to Florence. Highly recommend!
This was excellent! Roberto is an excellent guide, is great fun and very articulate... Excellent knowledge on the fascinating history of Florence
funny, witty with a lot of fun facts. Roberto is the perfect guide for this very good tour. I highly recommend!
Roberto is an awesome storyteller! He made the history of Florence come to life for us. Our son, who is 12, said it was his favorite thing we did during our four-day stay! Thank you much!
My fiancée and I went on the 10pm late night bike tour, and it was fantastic. We hit many of the main historical sights and the tour guide explained everything in a very charismatic and engaging way. He was inclusive and accommodative to the whole group’s needs. I highly recommend this as a must-do when you’re in Florence. We would do this again.
I really enjoyed this night tour of Florence. We learned a lot about the lore and stories of Florence and saw lots of nooks and crannies of the city that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was an awesome way to see the vibes of Florence and its neighborhoods. I probably wouldn’t have been able to see all this without the tour. Super fun!
Roberto is a wonderful guide, full of fun factoids and molto Medici anecdotes, shared with much contemporary humor and genuine enthusiasm. We learned a lot and appreciated his engaging conversational style. Though the tour wends thru spaces with heavy crowds and some traffic, it never felt unsafe and the distances between stops were short until the end. We also appreciated the tips on local eateries and bars.
Roberto gave a great tour filled with many stories of Florentine history not always found in the guidebooks. He have the tour in English and I learned a lot even on my fifth trip to florence
Magnificent experience. Comfortable and safe bikes. Roberto is friendly and knowledgeable, always generous in sharing curious historical anecdotes and curiosities about the area. Highly recommended
