Florence Bike Trip - Great scenery. Host was very friendly. Lunch after was very good. The E bikes made a huge difference as the hills were very steep in places.

Ride is too good to be true - Marta was amazing. She was very informative and helpful to the riders with limited riding experiences. The parts of town were simply stunning and the countryside with panaramic views were stunning. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone who seeks beauty and fresh air!!!

Deceptive description - This tour is deceiving. The bike ride was lovely once you got out of the city center. My husband almost got hit by a bus that didn’t yield so I would not recommend for anyone younger than teens. I purchased the lunch and gelato option, however this is not actually included in the 2 hour bike ride- they just give you redemption codes to go get the food after. Duh we can do that ourselves, what is the point? Bike ride with lunch and gelato makes it sound like you will make stops to eat, rest, enjoy your company. Not at all what I purchased and of course Viator just told me I should have read the fine print when the voucher was sent 24 hrs before the tour. There were really only 2 short stops during the bike ride. Husband and I went back on our own on scooters to check out the areas later in the day. Overall, fun ride but deceptive and not worth almost $200.
