Itinerary
Many important people have been buried here, including Michelangelo & Galileo. We'll give you the history of this beautiful church and speak about the more famous graves that lie within it. This is Florence's largest square, which provides us with an opportunity to dive into Florentine soccer and it's origins.
Pass by: Ride along the river and enjoy the sun and breeze!
Admire one of the few remaining medieval entrances to the city of Florence: the San Niccolò Tower is also the only one that retains its original shape and height!
Enjoy the most beautiful and breathtaking view of Florence from this perfect vantage point, admire how the hills embrace the city creating the perfet panorama. Your tour guide is happy to take photos for you to capture this amazing, scenic memory.
This is one of the oldest churches of Florence, that overlooks the city. Its history and legend are most peculiar and its marble façade is one of the most beautiful in town.
Pass by: Enjoy the ride in this tree shaded boulevard.
Standing tall with its original walls intact, it offers the incredible experience of re-entering the heart of Florence just as travelers did centuries ago!
This unique natural hill was chosen by the Pitti family to build their home and showcase their wealth. However, they ran out of cash and could no longer afford to live in it! Join us to discover how the story ended and how the palace has survived to this day!
Pedal across the Arno and head back toward the heart of the city, crossing the second oldest and steepest bridge. Here we’ll stop for a moment to set aside our e-bikes and soak in the view of the oldest and world-renowned Ponte Vecchio!
Pass by: Head back to our office to drop off the e-bikes, and feel free to ask your guides for all the tips and suggestions you need

Traveler reviews
So much fun!
What an amazing experience so informative Was a bit worried at first about riding the scooters (I’m 60) however had no trouble KC was a wonderful guide and knew her city well! Would recommend anyone visiting Florence to do this was soo much fun!
Highly recommend, great introduction to Florence!
We had a great experience on this tour. Andrea was very friendly, knowledgeable about the history of the city and was very helpful and encouraging about riding the scooters. I was a little nervous about riding the scooter as I'd never used one before but I was made to feel at ease quickly. The tour takes you all around the city and is a great introduction for your first day. Also has plenty of great photo opportunities. Highly recommend booking this tour around Florence, it definitely beats a walking tour!
A Fun Way to See Florence!
This is a worthwhile and fun tour. The folks at Fat Tire Tours care about your safety and give good tours. For their electric scooters they carefully check you out and provide helmets. The tours themselves are informative, and you get around quickly. There is always the chance of an accident, so be sure you're comfy on one of these scooters. The streets are a bit bumpy, which can be a challenge, but the bike paths are fairly smooth. This is a neat way to see Florence for 2 hours.
It was a great ride with...
It was a great ride with a great guide. The guide knowledge and friendship made our tour a great experience, fun and educated
Great insight into, and sight, of Florence
My wife and I enjoyed a 2hr tour with just us and our guide, Brian. We always find a Segway or e-scooter tour is a great way to scope out a city, covering lots of distance but learning history, locating key sights, and taking recommendations from our guide. This tour was no different. The highlight sight of the tour from outside the city looking back over the panorama with the cathedral dominating. Brian, our guide, was exceptional: knowledgeable and interesting, both in what he told us and in answering our questions, had a great sense of humour. The scooters were easy to use and fun. Highly recommended.
