About this experience
The best way to ride in Florence and surrounding hills? With a vintage "motocarrozzetta" (motorcycle sidecar), no doubt. It's the only way to experience the Oltrarno area, Michelangelo square and terrace, San Miniato church and hills behind it, including Arcetri where Galileo Galilei spent his last years in Florence. Perfect to take videos and pictures of the hidden corners of the city and from the panoramic points. Much more comfortable and safe than a scooter, enjoying the breeze not being in a car or minivan! The best way to catch both sides of the city: it's old districts (i.e. San Niccolò, the bohemian one...) and the countryside landscape around it. Our personal suggestion is to book it for your first day in Florence, so to have a complete introduction to it... VERY IMPORTANT: please remember that we ride old vintage motorcycles sidecar and we might refuse bookings due to weight limit.

Great off the track unusual experience. I ride motorcycles and my young son is adventurous so this fit our bill. Our guide took us off he beaten path. If you are adventurous I highly recommend this.

A wonderful tour of Florence on an iconic motorcycle and with a friendly native, journalistic guide who narrated the history with hints of curiosities while we enjoyed the beautiful landscape with the feeling of freedom that the motorcycle provides.

Best Sidecar experience!
This sidecar experience was the highlight of our family Trip. Tommy and his guys were so much fun and taught us history on our way to the most beautiful vineyard. Stop what you are doing and book this excursion with them. You will love it!
Response from the operator: Dear Elizabeth, thanks for your kind review. We really had a great time with you all… A presto! Tommy

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City 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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City?
+
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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City 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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City?
+
Around 10 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 Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour of Florence - The Highlights of the City 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.
