Comfortably ride a Florence rickshaw with a local guide, hit the top sights, and score great photo angles in about 1 to 1.5 hours.
“Stefano was dynamic, hospitable, full of great historical information and made the city come alive. He is a great story teller and routinely interjected our names to make it personal. When our start time was delayed, he worked with us to find a convenient pickup place. Highly recommended to get to know Florence!”
Skip lines for Michelangelo’s David, tour Florence’s Duomo complex, then finish at Ponte Vecchio. Optional bell tower climb too.
“The tour was incredible! Valentina was very knowledgeable and friendly with the staff at both locations. Because of this, we were able to get in quickly without having to wait in the hot sun in the line of other people with “skip the line” passes. She shared lots of stories about Michelangelo and Leonardo, and the Medici family. We loved hearing her expertise as we explored the museum, the cathedral, and the duomo. 100% recommend!”
Ride a classic Graziella bike through Florence’s main squares and side streets with a licensed guide, photo stops, and easy flat cycling.
“Excellent way to explore the city. Hard to hear at times due the volume of people on the streets but very enjoyable.”
Ride an e-bike through Renaissance Florence for a laidback 2-hour overview, hitting major churches, bridges, and best city views.
“The guide tried to show the important places , but it is really impossible to move around the center with the bike having so many people walking and cars passing by ... You are more time at stop than really riding the bike .. Sugget to do it walking”
FirenzeCard official 72-hour museum pass with priority entry to Uffizi and Accademia, skip lines, kids free, plus discounts.
“helping visitors plan for items in the same area would help. Some sites it was not apparent where to go if you had a Firenze card but we always figured it out. Great value if you plan to see 3 or so sites a day plus the big hitters.”
