My daughter and I loved this tour! It was just the two of us and the guide on a golf cart, which made for a more personalized experience. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. He stopped at many places with great views and history so we could take pictures. It was a great start to our time in Florence!

Absolutely loved this. Going up into the hills. Many great photo ops and the Guide was great I can’t recall his name but maybe aymen. Wonderful tour.

Overview

Cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time when you book this private tour outside of Florence's typical tourist routes. While a guide shares an insider's perspective on the culture and history of the birthplace of the Renaissance, you sit back and relax in the roomy electric cart. Meet the tour at a central point in the city; choose from morning or afternoon tour departures.
  • Instead of walking to the sights, relax in a golf cart
  • Get an overview of Florence even if you're short on time in just a few hours
  • Enjoy a more personalized experience on a private tour
  • Choose from a morning or afternoon departure to suit your schedule

Meeting point

  • Hotel NH Firenze
    Piazza Vittorio Veneto, 4, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

    Meet your guide in front of the main entrance of Hotel NH Firenze. The meeting point is a 10-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station, and is served by tram line T1 (Alamanni stop) and by the bus stops in Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Whether you choose to begin in the morning or afternoon, your electric cart tour of Florence starts from a central meeting point.

Each cart comfortably fits four travelers—no waiting in line or squeezing in for a spot.

Ride past several attractions, from panoramic views at Piazzale Michelangelo to Villa del Poggio Imperiale, once linked to the Medici family. Enjoy unobstructed, open-air views; it’s just like walking, except without the sore feet.

Electric carts are not only pollution-free 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.

Great Tour! Amazing City Views

Not what I was looking for

tracy, Oct 2026
I did not read the description well enough I guess. This tour was not what I was expecting. I thought we would see more of the attractions in Florence but a lot of the tour was in the hills around Florence looking at houses. Not really what I was looking for

Fantastic tour of the...

Grant_M, Oct 2026
Fantastic tour of the hills outside of Florence. Our guide, Mario, was superb. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

Disappointed 😞

Nicole_V, Oct 2026
They didnt show up!! Waited over 40 minutes.. No one to contact for information no one at pick up point. Now trying to get a refund!

Never showed up or responded

Jenessa_O, Oct 2026
Sadly they never showed up or responded to our outreaches. It was very frustrating as we traveled over an hr to the meeting place with two young children.

Great experience!

Rebecca_S, Sep 2026
Great tour and our tour guide was so interesting and entertaining! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun!

Must do.

Mary_J, Sep 2026
Absolutely loved this. Going up into the hills. Many great photo ops and the Guide was great I can’t recall his name but maybe aymen. Wonderful tour.

See the important sights with minimal walking and have fun

Wendy_G, Sep 2026
Perfect when you want to see a lot and cover a lot of distance without walking … we got out to see each site and walk abit and take pictures … Edwardo was an excellent cart driver and guide providing interesting info and a wonderful sense of humor to make it fun

A really nice experience...

Elizabeth_W, Sep 2026
A really nice experience to the hills surrounding Florence with wonderful views over the city. Our guide, Eduardo, was also fabulous!

Excellent guide Riccardo....

Grant_N, Sep 2026

Wonderful experience.

Starr_M, Sep 2026
We had a great time and we're so pleased to see the city from another perspective! Our driver was amazing, smart and fun. Thank you for a great afternoon!

We loved our Golf Cart tour!

LISA_L, Sep 2026
This was a perfect way to relax in the afternoon on a hot day. The views from the hills outside the city were spectacular and our guide, Aymen, was knowledgeable and very personable!

Left us stranded awful experience

Tony_P, Sep 2026
Terrible! We booked tour online a few hrs before, and we're given a hotel address to meet. We arrived early, then they called with different address a 30 minute walk away. They said theyd wait. One of our guests is disabled, so we rushed as fast as we could calling the company in between to tell them we were coming. We arrived and talked to driver. He then driver drove away and let the 2 other passengers yell at us as they left us on the corner. Awful experience. Customer service was to call us to remedy the situation but never did. We called 8x and they didn't answer. So very rude!!!

Great family tour

Carlos_M, Sep 2026
Highly recommended way to get to know Florence from a unique perspective Our guide Gulio was great. Must do

A memorable Experience

Gregory_G, Sep 2026
We had a short time in Florence and this was the most wonderful experience to see the city and pandemic views. Ymen our tour guide was very knowledgeable of Florence and its history. We were able to get the most beautiful photos of Florence from high above the city I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence since it will be something you always remember

No Show Tour Guide

Maryam_K, Aug 2026
TOUR GUIDE NEVER SHOWED UP! Very disappointing. First day and tour in Florence. I message and called, no answer

Excellent tour

Ann_L, Aug 2026
We saw areas of the city we would not have seen any other way. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful

Really enjoyed the trip. Excellent guide.

Carmel_M, Aug 2026
Really shows off the city. It is a beautiful city. You learn all about the history as well. Well worth while

If you want to see...

Doug_C, Aug 2026
If you want to see Florence and the surrounding country this is a great tour to take. Guides were great and very knowledgeable

Must try!!

Jennifer_T, Jul 2026
So fun to do a night tour, we went at 7:00 pm and it was perfect. We saw all the parts of Florence from the countryside. Beautiful sunset views!

It’s a rural tour in a golf cart that could easily be done by yourself.

James_O, Jun 2026
Nice people, not worth the money at all. It’s a tour in golf cart around some country side with a stop at a very accessible church with a view. Not worth the money at all.

Golf cart adventures!

William_C, Jun 2026
Very unique, amazing views of the city. Nice break from the busy city center. Very much recommend this trip!

Great Tour

Randy_P, Jun 2026
The best guide. I was very pleased. What a great way to see the city! I highly recommend this tour. Thanks. You be disappointed.

Relaxed experience

Klara_D, Jun 2026
Our driver was very friendly , helpfully and polite .. beautiful views.. it was amazing to drive around especially when is so hot in Florence ;) Thank u

Give it a miss if you value your spine

Rob_O, Jun 2026
A "bone jarring" and at times hair raising ride in an electric tuk tuk that had seen better days. One of the seat belts even broke midway. The views were great though.

Be Cautious Before Booking

Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
While some of the views were beautiful, we did not visit several of the stops that were described, including Bobli Gardens and the Piazza de Michelangelo. This was very disappointing as these were important stops. We requested a partial refund but that was not granted by operator. Be cautious before booking.

Panoramic views of Florence

Andrew_C, Jun 2026
Ayman gave us a wonderful personal tour of the panoramic views of Florence. He also took us to the Catholic church at the top of the hill to see some of the very old artifacts. We finished with a walk in the ancient Roman Amphitheater which is flanked by the small Roman temples (ruins) and Roman baths. I'd highly recommend this tour as a way to get a panoramic view of Florence with the bonus of the church and ancient ruins. The Amphitheater is still used today for concerts.

Unreliable

Donna_P, Jun 2026
There was a couple waiting for the 6:30 tour and no one showed up but our driver came at 7 to do our tour and said our driver was in an accident and took the 6:30 people and we’d have to reschedule! Ok sorry that happened and it wasn’t possible to reschedule however, the problem was -no one has contacted us about a refund or anything and seems pretty shady and unreliable!

A++++ for Ayman (our best tour)

Danielle_K, May 2026
We loved our tour with Ayman! What a wonderful night we had and learned so much about Florence and the Italian culture. I would absolutely book this tour again because of Ayman! He went over and beyond to make sure my daughter had a great time. It’s all we talked about for days afterwards. Book this tour and ask for Ayman. You won’t regret it.

Good views, but it doesn’t really feel like such a serious company.

Florencia_S, May 2026
Our guide was nice, but we booked the tour in Spanish and the guide only spoke English. I tried reaching out to the agency earlier that day, but no one responded.
