    Highly recommend, great introduction to Florence!

    We had a great experience on this tour. Andrea was very friendly, knowledgeable about the history of the city and was very helpful and encouraging about riding the scooters. I was a little nervous about riding the scooter as I'd never used one before but I was made to feel at ease quickly. The tour takes you all around the city and is a great introduction for your first day. Also has plenty of great photo opportunities. Highly recommend booking this tour around Florence, it definitely beats a walking tour!

    A Fun Way to See Florence!

    This is a worthwhile and fun tour. The folks at Fat Tire Tours care about your safety and give good tours. For their electric scooters they carefully check you out and provide helmets. The tours themselves are informative, and you get around quickly. There is always the chance of an accident, so be sure you're comfy on one of these scooters. The streets are a bit bumpy, which can be a challenge, but the bike paths are fairly smooth. This is a neat way to see Florence for 2 hours.

    Great insight into, and sight, of Florence

    My wife and I enjoyed a 2hr tour with just us and our guide, Brian. We always find a Segway or e-scooter tour is a great way to scope out a city, covering lots of distance but learning history, locating key sights, and taking recommendations from our guide. This tour was no different. The highlight sight of the tour from outside the city looking back over the panorama with the cathedral dominating. Brian, our guide, was exceptional: knowledgeable and interesting, both in what he told us and in answering our questions, had a great sense of humour. The scooters were easy to use and fun. Highly recommended.

    Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $281 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 Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour 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 Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour 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 Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour?

    +

    Around 26 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 Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike 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 -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.

    What is included in Private Secrets of Florence Electric Bike Tour?

    +

    Included: Local, Licensed Tour Guide; Guided Bike Ride Out of Florence; Helmet and Bike Pouch; E-Bike Rental; and Headset. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
