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!
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 hills outside of Florence. Our guide, Mario, was superb. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
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!
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 tour and our tour guide was so interesting and entertaining! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun!
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.
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 to the hills surrounding Florence with wonderful views over the city. Our guide, Eduardo, was also fabulous!
Excellent guide Riccardo. Super friendly, really knows his stuff, and a great tour guide. Excellent experience.
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!
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!
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!!!
Highly recommended way to get to know Florence from a unique perspective
Our guide Gulio was great.
Must do
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
TOUR GUIDE NEVER SHOWED UP! Very disappointing. First day and tour in Florence. I message and called, no answer
We saw areas of the city we would not have seen any other way. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful
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 Florence and the surrounding country this is a great tour to take.
Guides were great and very knowledgeable
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!
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.
Very unique, amazing views of the city. Nice break from the busy city center. Very much recommend this trip!
The best guide. I was very pleased. What a great way to see the city! I highly recommend this tour. Thanks. You be disappointed.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
