Wonderful tour of the residential district across the river from the city center. This is a great tour to take if you don’t have a lot of time, but want to see some beautiful places. The views are stunning. Eduardo was a super host and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Itinerary
Starting point of the tour, elegant square near the Arno River. Here we meet, get introduced to the route, and begin the experience through the city.
Historic church on the Arno with Renaissance artworks and a quiet, authentic Florentine atmosphere. A peaceful first cultural stop in the city center.
One of the most elegant bridges in Florence, offering iconic views of Ponte Vecchio. Perfect spot to appreciate river reflections and architecture.
Old medieval gate area marking the ancient city walls, less touristy and more local charm. A glimpse into Florence’s defensive past and old boundaries.
Drift gently downhill along Via del Gelsomino as you make your way back to the starting point. Conclude your experience with one last look at Florence's sunlit hills and a moment to treasure the beauty of this unforgettable ride. The square itself is wide and open, offering a dramatic view of the palace’s massive Renaissance façade. It’s a peaceful place to rest, people-watch, or enjoy a gelato away from the busier city center. From here, visitors can also access the stunning Boboli Gardens, a vast and beautifully landscaped park filled with fountains, sculptures, and panoramic viewpoints. Piazza Pitti is a gateway to both the artistic treasures and the quieter, more authentic side of Florence.
Glide along peaceful hillside lanes bordered by silver olive trees and noble country estates. Bellosguardo unveils a serene and intimate perspective of Florence, while Via di Marignolle captures the unspoiled essence of the Tuscan countryside.
Gaze upon this grand Medici estate nestled among towering cypresses and lush gardens. Once home to Tuscan royalty, it stands as a stunning example of Renaissance elegance with sweeping views over the city.
Explore one of the finest Romanesque gems in all of Tuscany, standing proudly above the city. Step onto its panoramic terrace and take in a spectacular view stretching from Brunelleschi's Dome to the distant Apennine mountains.
Arrive at Florence's most celebrated overlook for stunning photo opportunities. Discover the story behind this iconic 19th-century terrace while soaking in a magnificent vista of the city divided by the shimmering Arno River.
Scenic monumental staircase connecting the river area to Piazzale Michelangelo. A beautiful descent route with fountains and unique architecture.

Excellent tour. And a great way to familiarize yourself with Florence. We enjoyed the sights and the history.
Giulio was a fantastic guide. This was one of our favorite things to do in Florence. The view is beautiful
Eduardo was a great host. Florence is beautiful and we would have never seen the hills and view as well as the Tuscan landscape without the golf cart tour. A must
A lovely ride while the sun set, while Riccardo gave us some rich cultural history along the way. Well worth booking, would do it again in a heartbeat!
The tour provided a bird's eye view of the city of Florence. Guide personable stopped at different areas for picture taking and gave us a history of sites we were seeing Recommend the tour.
We booked a 6:00pm tour & were asked to push 45 minutes, no problem. Caught the end of sunset, very beautiful view above Florence.
Our guide, Julian, was courteous, on time and fun! He had a lot of great history and stories about Florence. He was well versed in art history and could tie that rich history with all timelines. He tolerated a nine year old with many questions. We appreciated his kindness and patience. We had the 6:00 p.m. Golf Cart Ride selected. That slot was great! We were up in the hills around Florence and could see the city lit up. It was close to two hours long, but the time flew by.
This tour was a great way to see parts of the cities you just can’t get to. Edoardo was a Gentleman!! He has lots of knowledge and was so kind to answer our questions. I definitely recommend this and we would love to come back and do the longer tour! Keep up the good work!!
Riccardo is knowledgeable, funny and a super nice gentleman. He told us great stories about history and answered our questions. It’s a great experience for first time visitors!
Takes you up the hills above Florence for some lovely views of rural Tuscany and some even more spectacular views of Florence. We would never have seen this area without the tour. Our driver/guide Giulio was really knowledgeable and pleasant to travel with.
Great way for an overview of Florence with a personal guide. The comfort of the golf cart to reach various areas in a short timr span .
It was amazing! Alessandro was great! Very knowledgeable and very nice. It was a wonderful way to learn and see A lot places in Rome! We had a wonderful time!
We had a most wonderful excursion! The ability to see Florence at Sunset was amazing. The views were stunning! Driving through the tiny roads and views from the monastery were so special!
Nice ride in the surroundings of Florence . All golf carts are not allowed in centro Florence Gulio was great and explained the history and the sites. If u want to see the center of Florence.must walk
This was a great little trip. The guide was friendly and very informative. If you go for sunset, it’s beautiful but crowded. Have a jacket too. This takes you to spots a tourist would never find on your own.
See the beautiful landscape away from the city. Vineyards and Olive trees with beautiful views of the countryside with Florence city as a backdrop!
We booked the golf cart tour the day before. It was awesome! I highly recommend. The views were stunning! We booked the tour right before sunset. Our tour guide Edoardo was great! It was very easy to find the meeting point and super inexpensive, especially because we did not want to book a tour more than two hours long.
We had so much fun with Tiziano. The views were amazing and they were very accommodating for pick up closer to our apartment. Highly recommend this tour for a little history and even better views!
Guilio was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see the city in a more private setting and had all of our questions answered.
Nice relaxing way to see part of Florence. Refreshing change from the crowds. Our guide Edwardo was very knowledgeable.
Great golf cart tour with a fun guide who made sure to show us a better alternative to the very packed Piazza Michelangelo with equally great views.
Our driver/guide Julio was exceptional. A native of Florence he was very knowledgeable about all of the history of the area. He made the tour a magical highlite of our visit to Florence and took us to many different locations with breathtaking views and incredible historic landmarks. Highly recommended!
A great way to see parts of Florence that you might not otherwise see. Our tour guide, Imán, was amazing! Helped us understand the history of this beautiful city. A great way to spend an afternoon in Florence.
One of the best tours I have experienced. Our tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and excited to share the history of Florence! Would recommend to anyone visiting Florence
It is absolutely amazing. A must do experience for all. Our guide Ayman was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
We were so happy that we booked our private golf cart tour. It was the perfect way to see many parts of Florence in a timely and easy manner. Our guide, Amadeo, was fantastic. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and provided us with time for picture taking and questions. Would highly recommend this tour!
This tour was such an amazing experience. Our tour guide had such amazing information about the city. He was able to take our picture from perfect angles. He was also a very charismatic guy. We all had a blast together. I would go back on the tour just because of how good the interactions were. Beautiful view of the city that is impossible to see without booking a car.
This was a great way to see the city of Florence from another view point without having to walk all over the place. Since it was a private tour it made it easy to make stops along the way and capture pictures of the city skyline and all the beautiful scenery of the Tuscan hillside in the distance. Our tour guy was so nice and full of knowledge about the city and the history of the buildings. Would definitely recommend if you are in Florence. Thank you again!
One of our favorite parts of our trip! Showed us a side of Florence we wouldn’t have seen by ourselves
The tour included more out of the way views and locations than I would have thought. It was an amazing tour
Uffizi Gallery has the most Italian masterpieces in the world. It is a gorgeous gallery and our guide, Pam was amazing and pointed out so many things I would not have seen or known. Be sure to get advance timed tickets as the lines are insane, even before it opens.
Eduardo was such a great guide: funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about his city. The activity allowed us to see a different and beautiful view of Florence itself, and of its surrounding hills and olive fields. It was also such a relax and welcome break from the crowds.
Great way to see Florence . Our guide took us out to the beautiful countryside and told interesting stories .
Very nice overview of Florence at sunset. Beautiful views and interesting facts. Friendly guide. Recommend!
It was an excellent tour! My husband and I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. Our driver was very knowledgeably!
Beautiful views that we never would have gotten to on foot. Fun narrow roadways. Easy on and off and not long walks for photos.
This tour takes you to some hidden gems. It was a wonderful experience. We were able to see a lot in a couple of hours.
Ayman was a fantastic guide. We booked this last minute after arriving in Florence and it was a great experience. We went around the city in the countryside, saw the best views of the city and saw things we wouldn’t see just walking. Ayman was knowledgeable friendly and even gave us an amazing dinner suggestion for after.
Our guide Saymon was phenomenal! When we weren’t able to get a taxi to meet him at the agreed location, he came and picked us up and altered the tour to the area we were in. He was full of great information and overall a phenomenal guide!
It takes you away from the busy central, you get to see Florence from another point of view and on another level.
Amazing guide and tour A must in Florence for everyone To do was so much fun and would do again in a heartbeat
Gentleman was lovely and he gave us a complete tour with lots of information. Especially liked the tour of the church.
Very nice friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. The water was much appreciated on a hot day. The tour was a welcome alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city Centre.
Way better than expected. Great way to see the city and our guide was fantastic. We went to the highest viewpoints of the city without walking. Highly recommended.
You will not regret booking this tour. Saymon was our guide he could not have made the experience any better. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and asked personal questions to engage us in conversation. There were things I would not have looked at and definitely saved our 1 day in the city experience. The views are beautiful and less then 2 hours doesn’t take your whole day doing 1 thing. This was one highlight of our trip. 10/10 book it now😉
Our guide was great; he hit the high notes, was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the views from a great height but didn't go into the city center to see the Duomo or Ponte Vecchio, I imagine this is due to the ztl restrictions. We were with twin 11 year olds, so the rose vs. walking in the heat was very well received.
Tatiana was limited with her English, however my wife spoke Italian so we got along fine and Tatiana was very gracious and accommodating, and we liked her. She is very knowledgeable about Florence and was a careful driver. We would definitely want to have her as our driver in the future, after I learn more Italian.
Our guide Tatiana was very punctual, informatitive and polite. She showed us some amazing places around the city. Brilliant choice for families with children who don't want to walk in hot weather.
Our tour guide Aymen was very knowledgeable and the golf cart tour is a great way to get to see Tuscany Hills and the main attractions.
