    Great local bike shop in Florence - renting all types of bikes

    I rented a Wilier carbon race bike from "Florence by Bike" and was very pleased with the bike, the service and the staff. Lia was especially helpful and answered my questions about the bike rental and also about a bike tour in Chianti. For my situation, Lia suggested a local guide, and I had a great ride in the Chianti area. Lia also pointed out the routes that I could download from their site, which were helpful in finding the "way out" of Florence. I would recommend this shop to anybody wanting to rent a bike in Florence. This is a "local bike shop" that also offers rental bikes, not a tourist agency that rents bikes. I received excellent service from the staff and will use the shop the next time I am in Florence.

    By far an amazing day, the...

    <p>By far an amazing day, the description of the tour was understated in the fact that we were to be sized for a bike and brought to our start off. There were only four of us plus the tour guide Leif, we started the tour from the bike shop. It is a total of 22 miles. Eleven uphill and eleven backdown. It was a little more challenging then I anticipated but I did it. Leif and my fellow tourist stuck with me and encouraged me to keep going and so glad I did. The luncheon at Villa Monteoriolo hosted by Leanora was wonderful and interesting on the olive oil industry that has been in her husbands family for over 200 years.</p>

    Excellent bespoke tour to Panzano in Chianti and back

    Florence by bike organised a cycling tour for a group of 12 of us from Florence to Panzano in Chianti and back. It was a fantastic excursion, not least thanks to our excellent guides Rebecca and Mark. We split into two groups, reflecting differing fitness levels, and set off from Florence. Cycling in Florence can be a nightmare, but our guides showed us a pleasant route out. Once in the countryside we enjoyed the rolling hills of the Chianti area, with the odd climb thrown in give us a little challenge. We had a coffee in Greve in Chianti and lunch in Panzano, before returning to Florence in the afternoon. Thanks to Lia, Mark and Rebecca for an excellent organisation and fantastic experience.

    Chianti bike tour

    We booked spontaneous the bike tour around the chianti area last friday. Even we two were the only ones who joined the tour the nice staff of the cycling yhop organised it for us. We had trekking bikes from krass which were very good maintenanced. Additional the fitting of the bike was professional and helmet and water included. Our guide simone was very nice. He showed us the beautiful landscape of his home area. Simone was very professional and knows his home landscape very well, so he was always able to adapt the route to our skills and condition. Not less to say simone is a really nice and friendly guy and we had a lot of nice discussions on our tour. For our lunch break we visited eleonora on her really marvellous villa monteoriolo. She showed us the secrets of her home -this you must find out by yourself :-) - and served us an awesome lunch between her olive trees with some nice wine. After that we had some more time on the bike and went back to the cycling shop. This day belongs to one of the best we had during our tuscany trip. Meeting simone and eleonora was like meeting some old friends and the orgsnisation is also very good. We will come back rent some racing bikes to see more of tuscany with simone. :-)

    Great place for serious cyclists but also bike tourists

    Researched this store through TA to get a serious workout while on vacation in prep for a 70.3 when I got back. Though my half IM plans fell through, I still visited the shop when in Florence to see if they were for real. They will outfit you with a serious road bike and give you a course (map) you can cycle on your own. Chianti hills are close by and easily done in a 60-100 km ride. Though I didn't rent I still bought a "Florence by Bike" bib and two tops I saw from their Web site. I also inquired about touristic biking for some friends who were with us. They offer guided bike tours (with lunch at a Tuscan villa) or will set you up with a touring bike and provide a map so you can go out on your own. Friendly people and a great, fun store.

    Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $440 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 Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour?

    +

    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 Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Outstanding countryside bike ride - Tailor made tour 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 Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. 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.
