Awesome Fun!
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide Veronica was amazing! So friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A good guide is usually the difference between a fun time or not. If all Fat Tire tour guides are as good as Verinica I can highly recommend this company.

Our guide was great, he made the effort to explain the visit to us in French for a tour booked in English. The city is sublime. The scooter tour we loved

Super fun e-scooter tour
We had a great time scootering and laughing with Andreas. He was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable about Florence history and all the statues, fountains and museums (and movies set in Florence too.)
