You should be comfortable on a bicycle, does not need to be an E bike that you’re comfortable with, but somebody who’s not comfortable on a bicycle should not do this tour. It is not difficult terrain but navigating around people and cars is tricky and if you are not adept at maneuvering, it would be a problem. It was a lot of fun and a great way to see an overview of the city in a unique way. The wine tasting at the end was a nice bonus, very generous with ham and cheese and bread to accompany. The guide was great, very informative with some interesting historical facts and fun stories. My only request from him would be next time to introduce himself and have us all introduce ourselves because we spent a couple of hours with everyone and never knew anyone’s name. I know I could’ve initiated that, but it would’ve been nice if the guide did it.

Itinerary
Ride a modern e-bike through the historic center of Florence with an experienced local guide, and admire the most iconic squares and monuments of the cradle of the Renaissance in a small group of cyclists! After a very short training session, the adventure on two wheels will begin! Breathe in the timeless atmosphere of Florence and discover its masterpieces, from Piazza Duomo with the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to the bustling Piazza della Signoria, the heart of the city. Then, you will leave the historic center by cycling toward the famous Florentine hills, along the most picturesque avenues just outside the center, until you reach Piazzale Michelangelo, the city's most iconic panoramic terrace, from which you will enjoy breathtaking views of Florence and its monuments. Here you will have some free time for a coffee and photos. The tour ends in the heart of Florence, in the Sant'Ambrogio district, famous for the church and the ancient market, where a special surprise awaits: a food and wine tasting at a charming location in the center, to end the journey with a touch of flavor and greet your fellow travelers (if guided tour option is selected).

It was amazing. The best guide I ever had. He was really professional & took care of all the group. I really recommend this tour.
Alessio our guide was amazing. Got to see the city on many different levels. The view from the Piazzale was so beautiful.
What an amazing incredible fun time alex our guide was wonderful. I would recommend anybody take this bike ride around Florence just to have a little bit of history and a lot of good time.
This was an amazing excursion! We had so much fun, bikes are easy to use and our guide Alessio was great! I would highly recommend this company.
I really liked the experiencia since de tortita guides were really nice and it showed they knew a lot aboyt the city. Great experience!
We recently had our first family experience with eBikes. The guide provided an initial explanation of how the eBikes functioned; however, our 14-year-old had some difficulty following the instructions, which led to the guide shortening the tour and appearing visibly frustrated. Despite this, we still enjoyed the ride and created some lovely memories as a family.
Lisa was amazing. Sharing her knowledge of Florence with all of us. Telling us where the significant land marks could be located along the route. The end of the trip was a great surprise; a free wine tasting at a great restaurant across the street. What a way to end our time in Florence.
My husband and i had an amazing time and enjoyed beautiful views along the way. What a great way to see the streets of Firenze in 2 hours. Leon was a great tour guide and with only 3 of us in the group today.... we were able to move along smoothly and stop and chat along the way. The bikes were fantastic and easy to use, especially if you have had experience on bikes before. And thank you for the 'surprise tasting ' a great way to finish off the ride.
It was a fun experience. Bikes were good and we went past alot of the main landmarks. Didn’t learn too much about the history of the places but was enough for a good taster of Florence and gave us the ideas of the places we want to visit.
What a wonderful way to see Florence, but especially the outskirts of Florence! Our guide was warm, knowledgeable and personable; his love for Florence was evident and rubbed off on us. The e-bikes were high quality and in great condition and riding them--even on the crowded cobblestone city streets--was much easier and more peaceful than expected. Traveling without our own hired car, this tour enabled us to see more residential parts of Florence that we wouldn't otherwise have seen and the view overlooking the city from Michelangelo Square was not to be missed. The mini-wine tasting at the end was a fun plus! Highly recommend this specific tour, as well as Ciao Florence Tours for their professionalism. Wish I could go back tomorrow and do it all over again!
Really enjoyed our E-bike ride through the Old Town of Florence and up to Piazza Michelelangelo! It was an easy ride, not too daunting with the traffic, even though it was a 5pm departure. Yo, our guide, give us an excellent commentary at each stop and the ‘surprise’ tasting at the end of the ride was perfect! A fun way to see a bit more of Florence 😎
Amazing ebike tour and enjoyed a lot ... Amazing view .. Thanks Marco for an amazing experience and teaching me how to ride ebike
Great operation knowledgeable people good products excellent tour good combination of distance attraction and food
Beautiful view and a lovely guide. Traffic was a bit busy at times, and cars are close but that is to be expected. Our guide Lisa was wonderful.
Cycling through a big city is fantastic, you see all the sights in new times and quickly get to beautiful places. They are good and beautiful e-bikes and they are well maintained! We had a very nice morning, with the surprise of another small wine tasting at 11.00 in the morning:-)
Was top, nice to discover Florence this way! Cycling was really not so bad through the city. Our guide, Fransecco totally okay
Super professional tour Both in advance and with Francesco S is so special to explore cities this way Wine tasting was also great
For an E-Bike tour we went dangerously slow. Lisa was pretty insecure. We were sorry! What was super fun was the unexpected wine tasting with small bites
Monday through Friday 9 am to 7 pm EST
