About this tour
See Florence from a vintage motorcycle sidecar, a two-hour spin through the city's medieval neighbourhoods and surrounding countryside. Your driver navigates the Oltrarno district, Piazzale Michelangelo, San Miniato church, and the Arcetri hills where Galileo spent his final years. You'll capture hidden corners and panoramic views from a vantage point more intimate than a car, more stable than a scooter. It's the ideal way to orient yourself on day one—catching both the bohemian old quarters and the rural landscape beyond.

What to expect
You'll sit in a sidecar attached to a restored vintage motorcycle—snug, secure, and open to the Tuscan air. Your guide handles the roads while narrating landmarks and neighbourhood history. Expect winding climbs through San Niccolò's bohemian quarter, then ascents into the rolling hills beyond the city limits. You'll stop at viewpoints and photo-worthy spots, though the bike itself draws admiring glances. The ride is stable and leisurely, not thrilling; wind and engine noise mean conversation happens mainly at stops. Two hours covers substantial ground without rushing.
