The day was good however a couple of constructive feedback points for you 1) when I first looked at the trip the meeting point was at the end of the road the hotel was on, however your e-ticket and website made us go to the main bus station 20 mins tram ride away and the tour guide commented as I hadn’t checked in a Julian’s Bar, as everyone else had. 2) the second point is to do with the final leg of the trip in Siena, when it was pouring with rain and we were about to head back to the bus and the tour guides boss had come up with another great idea for the small cost of €3 everyone could get the trenino back to the bus, half the clients didn’t want to do this and we were made to stand in the rain getting wet whilst the main tour guide waited for the trenino to arrive before the walkers were allowed to set off on foot back to the bus. Had I not stepped up and asked for the walkers to be allowed to walk with a guide without waiting, we would of been soaked!

Lorenzo was my guide. His first tour in English in over a year, but his English was perfect! It was easy to see his love and pride for the city, and his energy was infectious. He gave so much information on each landmark, it made me excited to go back and visit them. The trip up to the Piazza Michelangelo was a short ride with a gradual incline. It was a little challenging, but definitely worth it! I highly recommend this bike tour as an introduction to Florence to get an overview of the city and learn a little history of it from a local.

We did this app-guided tour in July 2019. (before the Covid-19 pandemic) We had a great time. It was an insanely hot day, but the challenge and the format were perfect to keep us motivated (and allow us to stop for lunch and gelato!). The Quest kept the kids interested and searching for clues (and tied in with the stories they had already read about the Medici family and Greek mythology) while my husband I got to revel in the history and explore the beautiful architecture more leisurely than we would have been able to otherwise! I would definitely take one of these Quests again.

A Thunderstorm met us as we left the train station at Lucca to meet our guide, Davide. Thankfully it did not last too long and we were able to enjoy the passion for Lucca that Davide shared with us as we strolled around the walled township. We couldn't help feeling like we wanted our tour to continue as David filled our imaginations with his story telling and making the city come alive for us.
