Great bike tour in Florence
We arrived in Florence and immediately went on a bike tour of the city with Julietta. It was a wonderful experience. Julietta was knowledgeable, professional and great fun. We would definitely do another tour with her if we visit Florence again!

Wonderful Ride
What a wonderful ride thru Florence…Julietta was knowledgeable, fun, and very accommodating (we were a few mins late) She showed us the highlights of the city while keeping us safe in minds of tourists and taxis!! Lots of stops to point out points of interest, but the best stop was the gelato stop!!! Grazie Julietta

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 179 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights?
+
Around 63 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Audio guide system; Basic travel insurance for all participants included; Helmet; Bicycle use; and Guided visit of Florence with a Professional Local guide. Not included: Pick up from hotel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Florence by Bike: A Guided Tour of the City’s Highlights?
+

+
