“We learnt so much in depth history of Florence in such a compact space of time. Our Guide Rapheallo is a true florentine bohemian, embracing us with his passion for the city. It would be impossible to cover the ground we covered and uncover the hidden gems without this guided tour. A must have for families. Even on a slightly soggy day it did not dampen our spirits. The streets of Florence are extremely busy! So not recommended for people who are not fully confident and stable on a bike.”
