What you will find

This is a fun itinerary giving you the chance to see all Florence from within and from the outside, with unforgettable panoramic spots, led by an expert and knowledgeable guide. The first part of the tour takes place in the Oltrarno neighbourhood, discovering old shops and workshops, narrow streets with typical trattorias and bars. 

Coming into Santo Spirito Piazza, we'll have a first stop to find out about the history of the church, the last realization of the florentine Renaissance genius Filippo Brunelleschi. In this church you'll find a wooden crucifix by a young Michelangelo

We set off again and in just a few minutes the imposing Piazza Pitti opens up before our eyes! The majestic palace, once home to the Dukes of Tuscany, hosts no less than 7 Florentine State museums today, among which the Boboli Gardens and the Palatine Gallery, with masterpieces by Raffaello, Caravaggio, Tiziano, Rubens and Van Dyck

Back on our bikes and off riding among the beautiful views from Lungarno (the river banks) and the historical palaces, we get to the ancient Florentine walls, ready for our third stop: the Roses garden, a charming garden with a romantic view over the city

After snapping a few shots among the poetic works by Folon, we leave the garden to get back to our bike ride. Heading east at first and then north, we'll reach an ancient structure called Le Murate, formerly a prison that is today a lively florentine literary and cultural center. 

After a short stop we are ready to take on the old city center: the Duomo (cathedral) with its majestic dome, where your expert guide will fascinate you with stories and curious anecdotes. After the religious center we head towards the political center: Piazza della Signoria. This is the Florentine open-air social and cultural gathering. 

After this last stop, with our minds full of nice pictures, we are ready to get back while still discovering more hidden corners on the way, unknown to those who walk but revealing themselves to the bikers while Florence greets them, plunged in the warm colors of sunset

Arrivederci!
