City walking tours and bike tours in Italy

Guided walks, bike tours, and Segway tours in Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, and other Italian cities

A Segway tour of Pisa.There’s no better way to bring a city’s culture and history to life than through a professional guide’s anecdotes, character sketches, jokes, and tons of background details. And the easiest (and cheapest) way to get one is to sign up for a guided walking tour, group bike tour, or Segway tour.

Guided specialty walking tours can run the gamut from a spin through the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel to a private tour of the art & architecture of Venice to a stroll through Bologna's gourmet side of pasta, mortadella, and chocolate.

Or you can move a bit faster on two wheels with a bike tour of Bologna, or gliding through Tuscany past a medieval monastery and the Etruscan village of Fiesole before coasting back down into Florence, or hop aboard a Segway tour of Pisa or Milan).

For some walks, you must reserve in advance; for others, you just show up at a specified place and time and pay the guide the fee (might be anywhere from $10 to $60).
