Whether you choose to begin in the morning or afternoon, your electric cart tour of Florence starts from a central-meeting point near the Basilica of Santa Croce.
Each cart comfortably fits four travelers—no waiting in line or squeezing in for a spot.
Ride by over 20 of the city’s top attractions, from panoramic views at Piazzale Michelangelo to Palazzo Pitti, the Medici family’s final residence. You’ll enjoy unobstructed, open-air views; it’s just like walking, except without the sore feet.
Electric carts are not only pollution-less but also totally noiseless, so you’ll be able to listen to the guide’s explanations and commentary without straining to hear over the motor. Tours end right back at the meeting-spot, where you can continue sightseeing on your own.

Lovely scenery, amazing views, great driver….. and very informative.
Always helps when you have a tour guide with patience and is well informed.
Rebecca_B, May 2026
Our tour guide took us on the golf cart all through the Tuscan Hills and gave us a history lesson…we saw some beautiful scenery! He even took us to the statue of David, and an antique car show, and pointed out all of the highlights of the city for us!
Martin_A, May 2026
It was advertised as Private Tour with audio guid. None of it was true. The golf cart was different and small, facing backwards.
Richard_M, Apr 2026
The guide did an excellent job relaying historic facts but also cultural views as well. Also flexible.

Walked to find meeting spot 1.5hrs early. Went had Brekky close by and returned 40mins prior to 10am pickup. At 9.50am we messaged and tried to call but no response as we thought it was odd no driver was there and you are meant to be 20mins early.
Then at 10.05 called Viator who also couldn’t contact them. Gave up and stated to walk back then got message at 10.08am driver was waiting but the location was quite different to what we had been given. Very disappointed that we didn’t get to do it but when I advised we were already headed back in opposite direction to hotel we heard nothing at all back from driver. No offer to come get us or anything. Have all the photos of us there at the meeting spot and basically ruined our last day.

We had a wonderful tour of Florence with Olga. She was so knowledgeable and pleasant. We really got to see the beautiful countryside and all the great spots. The views were phenomenal and it really is fun riding on the golf cart. Definitely recommend.
Aaron_B, Apr 2026
It was entirely fine, the tour guide seemed knowledgeable but rarely spoke during the tour, he would pull over to play a recording about certain spots but it was not at all engaging, especially with young children. Additionally, it was entirely too difficult to find the meeting location, and despite multiple attempts to contact the tour provider, they never responded to messages or phone calls. Thankfully, Viator was able to direct us to a different location than it said in the listing to connect with the guide. We apparently went to the wrong location for the start of our tour because there are different levels of the piazza, but the horse statue was not visible behind trees from the direction we were walking.
Kristin_C, Apr 2026
Very knowledgeable and friendly. They took us all around the outskirts and captured great photo moments.
Michelle_T, Apr 2026
First of all they wanted to change the time of the tour not long before the appointment and we called back to cancel and they found someone. Shout out to the guy for coming in because it was super cold and poor guy did not speak English and the tour was recorded which did not make a great experience. We ended it early due to it being cold and no blankets provided like the tour guide provided in Rome.
Nirish_U, Mar 2026
This tour is a complete rip-off.
The so-called “guides” are essentially just drivers with no real knowledge of the city, its history, or even the basic context of the sites you’re visiting. Instead of a proper guided experience, you’re given a glitchy Bluetooth speaker that plays pre-recorded snippets — often cutting out or malfunctioning — which completely ruins any sense of engagement.
For the price they charge, this is frankly unacceptable. There is zero value, zero insight, and zero professionalism. You’re far better off exploring on your own or booking with a reputable operator.
Avoid at all costs!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that you felt disappointed by your experience.
However, we would like to clarify that our tours are not presented as traditional walking tours led by licensed historians, but as panoramic city experiences that combine transportation, selected stops, and audio-guided content. This is part of the format of the service and is intended to offer guests a comfortable and accessible way to see the city.
That said, if the audio equipment did not function properly during your tour, we fully acknowledge that this would have negatively affected the experience, and we regret that. We also take seriously any comment regarding service quality and professionalism, and we will review the points you raised internally.
We respect every guest’s opinion, but we do not agree with the characterization of the tour as a “rip-off.” Many guests appreciate this format precisely for its convenience and overall experience. Even so, we are sorry that in your case the service did not meet expectations.
Gregory_K, Mar 2026
The tour was fine, could have been better with a guide rather than just a driver, also the meeting point was incorrect, you would think they could get that correct
MIMI_L, Feb 2026
The communication was a bit poor initially and I had to reach out many times get any answer. I never did get any communication back when I reached out to them about a meeting point. But finally, Alex came to the rescue and gave us the best tour ever. He was so knowledgeable Alex. The guide was wonderful.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the initial communication issues and understand how frustrating that must have been. At the same time, we’re very happy to hear that Alex gave you a wonderful tour and made the experience memorable with his knowledge and care.

Driver was late. Guide gave no introduction nor did he talk about the experience. The museum equipment did not work. Worst tour ever for 3 experienced travelers.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your perception of the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify some important points for future travelers.
Regarding the reported delay, the official pickup point was clearly indicated at Torre della Zecca, as communicated at the time of booking. The guests were instead waiting at our agency office, a location where pickup is not permitted due to current restrictions in the UNESCO area. Despite this, our driver made the decision to reach the guests anyway, assuming personal responsibility and risking penalties and vehicle seizure in order to avoid canceling the tour.
Concerning the iPads at the museum, we would like to clarify that these devices are provided directly by the museum as an additional complimentary service and are not included in the tour package. Unfortunately, occasional Wi-Fi issues may occur and are beyond our control, but they do not affect the core experience of the tour itself.
Additionally, at the end of the tour, our driver kindly accommodated an extra, non-included stop at the Fiesole Christmas market, waiting approximately 30 minutes so the guests could enjoy it at their leisure—an extra courtesy offered purely as a gesture of hospitality.
While we regret that these efforts were not perceived positively, we remain committed to providing flexible, courteous, and high-quality experiences, often going beyond what is strictly included to ensure guest satisfaction.

On November 18th at 11:30 we had the pleasure of taking the golf cart tour to Fiesole, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip to Florence! The guide was fantastic - considerate, knowledgeable, and added so much fun to our experience. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The tour was well-organized, and we loved exploring Fiesole in such a unique and enjoyable way. Highly recommend!"

greg_o, Oct 2025
This was a great way of visiting Florence with limited time. I loved being able to take pictures as we drove by and some places we stopped as well. The audio guide was very informative and our driver (Azi?) Was great too. Visiting piazzale michelangelo was worth it alone!
Robert_L, Oct 2025
That Polish Charlie was a great tour guide and had exceptional knowledge of the entire tour. I was glad when he mentioned the recording was broken and he would be giving it. So much knowledge and very entertaining. Thank you Charlie for a great tour!
Henry_P, Oct 2025
Great way to see the major attractions in Florence without walking your brains out. We were then able to go back and spend more time at the places that interested us the most. Our guide, Aldo, was quite funny and informative.
Brett_W, Oct 2025
Aldo was awesome. Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, especially on art. We extended our tour with him, to see some art.
Tyler_S, Oct 2025
Tour guide Charlie was great! Really enjoyed the sites. We took this tour the first day to get a feel for the city.
Debbie_H, Oct 2025
Recommend an evening tour of the city. Seeing the sunset and the beautiful lights of the city are well worth it.
Nicole_R, Oct 2025
What an amazing way to learn about and see what Florence has to offer. Roberto was our tour guide and he was amazing! So knowledgeable and funny. He gave us such great recommendations on where to buy good leather and offered my mom and I to message him after our Tour if we needed a recommendation on where to eat or if we needed anything else while we were in Florence for the day.
Lynn_S, Oct 2025
This tour is a great way to get an overview of the city! Great narrative, great driver!
We loved it! We highly recommend this tour!
Laura_F, Oct 2025
It's super chill and private, along with an informative and fantastic tour guide, Sebastian, who took us to shops and landmarks we loved that we wouldn't have been to otherwise.
Paddy_B, Oct 2025
Terrific guide, accommodating, knowledgeable, and kind. Refreshing to have the option to sit, relax enjoy
Chris_S, Oct 2025
It was a perfect way to get a feeling for the city Im a very short time giving us a good grounding to explore on our own later.
Josephus_B, Oct 2025
Our driver/tour guide Sebastian is well versed of the history of the city as he was born & raised in Florence. Very clear instructions and very patient as well…
Inna_G, Oct 2025
Was a great way to see Florence! This took us to places we couldn't walk to and amazing view points for looking and taking pictures. Claudio was great, shows us some really cool places and was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable! He picked us up right on time at our hotel and we had a great 1.5 hours! Highly recommend.
Catalina_L, Oct 2025
We had the best time on our Florence golf tour! Our guide and driver, Rai from Albania, was super friendly, fun, and full of great tips. It was the perfect tour for us, since we only had half a day to see the city. Rai made everything easy and enjoyable — highly recommend!
