Had great fun and enjoyed the ride:) Marcello is a unique dude, joyful and very helpful. Brought us with his electric car to the piazzale Michelangelo where we enjoyed a breath taking view with sunset! He left us near to the hotel and recommended some excellent restaurants. Absolutely worth it!

Itinerary
Church of Ognissanti, a building of medieval origin with a 19th-century facade.
Amerigo Vespucci actually lived in this vicinity, as his family was one of the most prominent in the Ognissanti district.
Originally, there was a wooden bridge here, built between 1218 and 1220.
Bridge rebuilt after the war, from there you can admire the symbol of Florence, Ponte Vecchio, emblem of the city
Porta San Frediano was built in 1333, likely based on a design by Andrea Pisano; measuring 20.60 by 17.35 meters, it has an imposing appearance. ...
Porta Romana is the southernmost gate in the walls of Florence. Situated on the road to Siena and Rome, it serves as a key entry point to the city center.
The Imperial Ascent: We begin at Porta Romana. Our journey starts under the shade of elegant 19th-century tree-lined avenues, climbing toward the summit as the horizon begins to unfold
Villa del Poggio Imperiale Admire the Medici Villa of Poggio Imperiale from the outside—a grand historic residence surrounded by elegance, greenery, and Florentine charm.
Drive through the peaceful hills of Arcetri, an elegant area of Florence known for its quiet streets, greenery, and stunning panoramic views.
• San Miniato al Monte (The Crown Jewel): Your effort is rewarded upon reaching this thousand-year-old Abbey. With its white and green marble facade and views even higher than those of the Piazzale, it is the most spiritual and fascinating place in all of Florence.
• Piazzale Michelangelo (The Terrace of the World): We reach the city's most famous landmark. Here, Florence lies at your feet: a 360° panoramic view where Brunelleschi’s Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio feel close enough to touch.
• The Descent of the Waters: We head down the spectacular Poggi Ramps. A dreamlike descent through waterfalls, hidden grottoes, and monumental stone fountains that look like a scene from a classic film.
• Medieval Walls and Porta San Miniato: At the foot of the hill, we skirt the imposing 14th-century Medieval Wall. We will pause to admire the majesty of Porta San Miniato, a historical treasure viewed from the outside to remain within the tranquility of the city’s green belt.
• Grove Path The Secret Olive: From the gate, we begin a second ascent along a rustic path surrounded by olive trees. This is an oasis of silence and fresh air that transports you to the Tuscan countryside in just a few minutes.
• The Golden Return: We descend gently, enjoying the evening light, to close this unforgettable circuit back at Piazza Ferrucci.
As another option for the tour's conclusion, guests can choose which side of the city they would like to finish on.

Fantastic and easy way to see Florence especially due to navigating the hills and traffic of the city.
Excellent tour. Would highly recommend it!!
Marcelo was a fantastic guide and the views of the city were tremendous! I’ve been on other golf cart tours and haven’t been to some of these scenic spots.
Marcello is an amazing guide! We had a fantastic tour through the Florence hills and Marcello was very informative with details about Florence and its history (he is from Florence), as well as the history of Tuscany. He worked with us to move our pickup location to a spot near our hotel due to the expected rain, which is not common for these kind of tours. Highly recommend and gladly would use him again next time in Florence!
Marcello was great. Provided us with interesting information and views of the city we would have not found on our own. He customized the stops for us when we found something we liked, and he even dropped us off closer to our next event on our way back, saving us a 20 min walk. Would recommend again for sure.
Marcello was An amazing guide. He took his time showing us all the major spots along the route. We were able to stay at places as long as we wanted to take pictures and enjoy the views. He was very knowledgeable about the area and we would highly recommend him as your guide for your trip!
Excellent trip. Well worth the time and money
Great golf cart tour with my parents (70s). Marcello speaks very good Spanish (we did the tour in Spanish) and as true local, his knowledge was on point. English is good too. Highly recommend Marcello overall and in particular as a Spanish-speaking guide.
If you want the best pictures and views of Florence for a decent price then this is the tour to take! Our guide Marcello took us around to the hot Florence spots & stopped so we could snap pictures. We feel like we’ve truly seen all of Florence now! Absolutely beautiful tour! It’s a MUST DO!
The tour was amazing. Marcello was super friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to wonderful views of the city and non touristy places in his golf cart. It was super fun!
The tour with Marcelo was phenomenal! My children—aged 10 and 12—were delighted; it was a truly lovely experience. The route was beautiful, the explanations were very clear, and my wife and I absolutely loved the views. I highly recommend taking this tour—it is well worth it. The personal touch Marcelo adds is fantastic; we felt like we were touring with a friend, and that’s the beauty of it—you feel like you’ve become part of Italy. We loved it!
Great trip in the early evening to beat the heat. Worth every euro. Saw parts of Florence most people don’t see. Interesting and very accommodating. Highly recommend especially to see the sunset from the top viewpoint. Thank you Marcello and Stefano.
Highly recommend. Excellent value for money. Great if you have limited mobility but want to see the best sites. Picked up direct from our hotel. Marcello was an excellent guide, a pleasure to travel with. Very informative and not rushed. Dropped us off at our choice of destination to explore the rest of Florence.
Marcello was an excellent driver and guide! He was at the pickup location early and we were able to head out a few minutes early. We drove through the hills of Florence and stopped for pictures at several beautiful locations. He was very informative, patient, and kind. I would 100% recommend this golf cart tour with Marcello!
We had a great experience on our golf cart tour with Marcelo. He is very knowledgeable and knows every detail of Florence's history. During the tour, we could appreciate beautiful waterfalls, fountains, and olive groves. It was wonderful to escape the crowds of the city while still being able to admire the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, and other iconic landmarks of Florence. The view from Piazzale Michelangelo is breathtaking. The ride was very comfortable. .
This tour has the most beautiful views in all of Florence. Florence is so hot in the summer, so every time we passed people walking up the steep hills to get to the views, I was so grateful to be riding in a golf cart! Especially because my kids were with me and they had no desire to walk up hills. Conserve your energy and see views of Florence without all the sweating. San Miniato church was the most beautiful part of this tour.
Marcelo was awesome — so easygoing even when my daughter disappeared for a few mins (she was hanging out on the steps listening to music).
Marcello was a great tour guide. I thought it was a group trip. He took my wife and me on a golf cart and it was amazing. It did say private transportation. But, it was fun and we got a to-go cup of wine for the road. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience with Marcelo as a guide. Attentive, very explanatory and with good Spanish. Beautiful experience that I recommend
The trip was wonderful, it's really worth it! Our guide Marcelo is very friendly and knows all the history of Florence! We know parts of the city that we wouldn't know otherwise! I recommend!
Marcelo the guide very well prepared. Excellent service. And the whole explanation very clear. We loved it.
Marchelo 👌 a great guy, every penny paid was well worth it
We did a Golf Cart Tour of Florence with our Guide Marcello and It was a Fantastic Experience! He is an Excellent Guide, Attentive, Very Friendly and With A Lot of Knowledge of the City's History! The tour was comfortable, fun and Perfect for getting to know the City in a Different Way! Marcello made our visit even more special . Without a Doubt I recommend Marcello to you to do this Tour👌🏻 A 100/100 guide 💯 ❤️
We had an incredible experience, if you visit Florence you definitely have to do the golf cart tour with Marcello. It was the best way to get to know the city, excellent guide, super pleasant, fun, attentive! Very cultured and knowledgeable about the history of Florence, 100% RECOMMENDED, we couldn't have had a better guide! Thanks for everything Marcello!
Marcelo is simply incredible, he speaks several languages, explains all the sites visited in detail, and goes above and beyond because he makes it an unforgettable experience. It is a comfortable and very pleasant way to get to know the place. The cart is very comfortable and Marcelo took us to buy drinks and snacks to make it even more incredible. He took us through secret and little-known places to capture the best photos and see the city practically while being alone. We are super grateful to be able to do this tour that we will never forget. Thank you very much Marcelo 👏🏽💯💥🥳
Excellent tour, with beautiful views; furthermore, the guide Marcello is the best, kind and gentle. The best part is that he is a proud Florentine of his city; he explains the entire panorama and the history of Florence in detail. I would take the same tour again, it is of good quality.
Fantastic experience. I took a tour of the city with my girlfriend and we relied on Marcello, a fantastic person but above all a local who explained the whole city to us in person and we could ask him questions about various places, without using those little cars where they talk on the radio and you cannot ask questions since they do not even speak Italian. Thanks a lot Marcello!!! TOP!!
Incredible experience, the views from the hill are beautiful. Marcelo charmed us with his kindness, his preparation, and friendliness. It is really worth going up in a golf cart, because he also showed us areas where we would not have reached alone and walking. We closed our visit to Florence with a flourish. Thank you Marcelo!
Excellent tour if you do not want to walk under the sun and uphill to see the surroundings of Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence, especially important if you are traveling with older adults or with children! Marcello is a great guide, flexible, attentive, and with a lot of empathy and willingness! You will love it...
Really pleasant, Marcelo showed us another part of Florence, giving us very enjoyable and interesting explanations
