Overview
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.

Great off the track unusual experience. I ride motorcycles and my young son is adventurous so this fit our bill. Our guide took us off he beaten path. If you are adventurous I highly recommend this.

The Motorcycle Diary
Published on Jun, 2024
A wonderful tour of Florence on an iconic motorcycle and with a friendly native, journalistic guide who narrated the history with hints of curiosities while we enjoyed the beautiful landscape with the feeling of freedom that the motorcycle provides.
Best Sidecar experience!
Published on May, 2024
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!
