Additional Information
The best way to ride in Florence and surrounding hills? With a vintage “motocarrozzetta” (motorcycle sidecar), no doubt. It’s the only way to experience the Oltrarno area, Michelangelo square and terrace, San Miniato church and hills behind it, including Arcetri where Galileo Galilei spent his last years in Florence.
Perfect to take videos and pictures of the hidden corners of the city and from the panoramic points. Much more comfortable and safe than a scooter, enjoying the breeze not being in a car or minivan!
The best way to catch both sides of the city: it’s old districts (i.e. San Niccolò, the bohemian one…) and the countryside landscape around it.
Our personal suggestion is to book it for your first day in Florence, so to have a complete introduction to it…
VERY IMPORTANT: please remember that we ride old vintage motorcycles sidecar and we might refuse bookings due to weight limit.

Best Sidecar experience! - This sidecar experience was the highlight of our family Trip. Tommy and his guys were so much fun and taught us history on our way to the most beautiful vineyard. Stop what you are doing and book this excursion with them. You will love it!

Motorcycle and sidecar - This was a lot of fun. Tomas was an excellent guide and showed us so many historical sites. The description of the tour on the website and the actual tour were different but we still were very pleased with this tour. I highly recommend it.

Florence by Motorcycle - An awesome adventure! It was so much fun to see the area in and around Florence while riding in the sidecar of a Ural motorcycle. Gilberto was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and personable. The itinerary was great, allowing me to see the city from the hills above the city for some spectacular photos. Gilberto showed me the real countryside outside of the city and I learned a lot about the local agriculture, as well as the history of the city and its important landmarks.
The company was so good to work with, communication was easy and straightforward. When my arrival into the city was delayed they worked with me to adjust to my schedule. I really appreciated it! When I come back to Florence I am doing this tour again!

Fun Family Experience - My husband and I took our two sons (8 and 6) on the morning tour with Tommaso and Gilberto. It was a great way to experience Florence as a family. I’d recommend this particular tour to get familiar with the city and see what lies just outside the busy tourist area. On our trip, a surprisingly strong thunderstorm rolled through and we took shelter in a church, adding even more excitement to the experience. Once the storm passed Tommaso and Gilberto outfitted us in raincoats and the ride continued! Such a fun time that our family will remember always.

Feel the wind your face and view Tuscany in a different light!!! - In my recent trip to Florence, I came across this Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle
Tour. For anyone who is looking for a unique way to experience Florence and
a wine tour in Tuscany, this is a must!!! I had the pleasure to have
Gilberto as my tour guide, whose knowledge and history of Tuscany is
outstanding. He was able to answer all my questions about Florence and
Tuscany. Especially enjoyed the history of Chianti Classico symbol. Gilberto
is a great person and tour guide. From the moment I purchase the trip to the
moment I met Gilberto, he was in constant communication to ensure all my
questions and concerns were answered. The winery was a treat, tasting local
delicious wines and foods. Sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany
in a unique and awesome way.

Amazing Experience - My husband and I did the wine and food sidecar tour with Tommie. I can honestly say this food and wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy.
Tommie was absolutely wonderful. He was full of information and exceptionally kind and professional. The places he took us, the scenery we saw was breathtaking.
He took us to a little winery where we did a tour and had the most delicious homemade lunch. Maurizio and Loretta were the sweetest people. The wine, the food... oh my!
If you are in Florence, the sidecar tour is a must!!! At the end of the day, my soul felt revitalized. We plan on going back to Italy just to see Tommie and do another sidecar tour.
