A true flavor of Florentine history and culture

A relaxed private bike tour around Florence, this well-paced, laid-back day tour is your perfect introduction to the city and its surroundings, covering such significant sightseeing spots as the Michelangelo Hilltop Square, San Miniato Church, Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica, and Florence Cathedral.

On this dynamic day tour, your guide is your perfect point of knowledge to provide you with an in-depth understanding of Florentine history and culture - only a local would know the perfect place atop Michelangelo Hilltop Square for panoramic views of the city! Park your bicycle up for a truly sensational view of the Florence skyline, a moment of wonder you'll never forget. To see the city from above is to truly take in its astounding beauty, architectural flair, and romantic piazzas.

Cycling up to the San Miniato Church, discover one of the most celebrated churches in Italy, famed as one of Tuscany's finest Romanesque structures. Next, you'll pedal to Palazzo Pitti, an awe-inspiring palace of colossal proportions on the banks of the River Arno. First bought by the Medici family, over the centuries, the palace has grown to be a treasure trove of paintings, plates, jewelry, and luxurious status symbols. Just nearby is the Ponte Vecchio, a majestic medieval arch bridge over the Arno with closed spandrels. It's an archetypal Florentine vista worth pausing to fully appreciate.

Piazza della Signoria is the political heart of Florence, consisting of a W-shaped square boasting exquisite architecture at every turn of the head. This if Florence with all the frills! Nearby, you can ride around to the Piazza della Repubblica, featuring a column marking the site of the old Roman forum. Ask your knowledgeable guide about the dark chapter that colors this splendid square, housing as it once did the Jewish Ghetto ordered by Cosimo I.

Your beautiful bicycle tour reaches its fascinating finale at the Duomo - your visit to Florence wouldn't be complete without it! Florence Cathedral, or the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, is famous for its colossal scale, distinctive red dome as if scorched by the sun itself, and gorgeous Gothic style. What better way to end your tour than at the star of Florence's skyline?
