Listen to your guide’s commentary as you head to the city's most iconic attractions and neighborhoods, including the town of Fiesole, Michelangelo Square, and elsewhere—with great city views a bonus.
  • An eco-friendly way to explore the Renaissance city

Our tour guide was outstanding.. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Florence.. I would come back and ask for her (Pam)

Thanks Sebastian!

Great way to see a lot in a short period of time provides an overview of the city and areas along with history and insight into local culture

barry_l, Aug 2025
overall a very good experience. aldo was knowledgeable and charming, my only complaints are that he was giving us 30 min to take pics at the Michealangelo plaza which needed like 5 min. also brought us into a jewelry store and got us kind of stuck with a sales person, chewing up some valuable tour time. meanwhile, did not take us to ponte vechio (we walked over later) and wonder if we couldn't get a glimpse of the bobili gardens too. overall good, but could have and should have been better. best part was he jumped the line to get us affogato (sorry for spelling), which was amazing. i would recommend to a friend but would do a bit more research to make sure you get the best guide available

Exceptional experience

Melissa_S, May 2025
A group of 8 of us did the 4 hour golf cart tour of Florence and it was an excellent experience! It’s a great way to see so much in one day. The tour guides also know where to find the best street food and incorporate stops only locals would know about. It was also a good choice on a rainy day because it’s covered and they also have the ability to zip it so you don’t get wet. Highly recommend!!

Worth it !

Julie_S, May 2025
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful !!! Would recommend for a quick orientation to the city. They get around the restricted streets very easily.

Great Fun Dancing Between the Rain Drops

Marc_H, May 2025
There were thunderstorms all day and when it stopped for a few minutes you thought maybe it’s done,…..but no. All that being said, out tour guide Olga remained positive with high energy and more details about each area then we expected. She/we wouldn’t let the rain stop us and we had a great time and all got very wet. We zipped around seeing so many sites while others struggles walking through the rain.

Florence Fun with family and friends!

crystal_K, Mar 2025
Aldo was informative, fun, and tried to fit in everything we could!! Such a wonderful tour!! Loved it!

Good Tour

Vicki_C, Oct 2024
Our guide was very nice. We had difficulty understanding her English. Many questions could not be answered. But the tour itself is a great introduction into the landmarks and history of Florence. We were thankful not walking so much.

Great way to see Florence!

Julie_K, Oct 2024
We loved this tour! By doing this as a private tour, we were able to cut short the stops that didn’t interest us, and extend the stops that did. Our guide was great about adjusting to our interests. I’d been to Florence before, but our guide offered some new historical facts that I hadn’t heard before. Highly recommend!

Florence in an afternoon

Karen_R, Sep 2024
Sebastian is a terrific guide. We had a wonderful tour yesterday seeing most of Florence from the affluent to the middle class areas. Florence is soaked in history and that was communicated during our tour. We had several great photo opportunities.

Luca was amazing

Kristin_W, Jul 2024
Luca was fantastic on this private tour, he has a genuine love for the city and his passion came across. We were only in Florence for a brief time and this allowed us to see this beautiful city in a short time.

Zip Around on a Golf Cart for Amazing Florence Views

Ashton_K, Jun 2024
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Aldo, was so much fun!! He showed our family some great local places and explained the history, sights and stories. Our kiddos loved him & we loved his restaurant recommendations! Zipping through the streets of Florence on a golf cart, eating gelato and gaining some new views on the city were all highlights of the day. Thank you so much, Aldo!

One of the best guides in 6 outings.

william_h, May 2024
Wonderful guide who took great care in showing us the outer to inner sections of Florence and how they were tied together. All stops were explained and we were given ample opportunity to explore.

Perfect Intro to Florence!

Dora_D, Apr 2024
Aldo was a great guide and was a talented driver expertly navigating through the narrow Florence streets. He stopped the right amount of times and showed us some special places that we probably would have missed on our own! The gelato stop hit the spot!

Perfect Way to See Florence

Debra_B, Apr 2024
Great tour and great guide. This tour went to places we would have never been able to get to on foot. Thanks so much for making our trip to Florence complete.

The PERFECT way to see Florence!

RJ_J, Oct 2023
Our guide, Vanessa, was absolutely wonderful. I know that she guides tours almost every day during high tourist season, but her warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like she was experiencing the beauty of Florence with us for the very first time. She and our driver were professional and kind. This was the perfect way to see many of the most important sights in an easy and relaxed way. 100% recommend! Worth every penny, ESPECIALLY if there are people on your trip who are not able to do much walking.

Highly recommend Vanessa

Diana_L, Sep 2023
Vanessa and her colleague were great. She was extremely informative of every landmark and even went out of her way to help us make a dinner reservation. No better way to see all the main sites!

Max, May 2017
Excelent choice for people who are staying for very limited time in Florence. Our guide was realy friendly, helpful and give us plenty of info about visiting sites. After having a few day's extensive walking tours in Rome this was a realy good option. Vedran and Wanna

Christopher A, Apr 2017
This was ok. I think we would've enjoyed it more had we done it our first day in Florence. It did show us things we hadn't seen and gave us information we didn't know, but Florence is easy to walk around and see yourself, the Golf Cart is not needed. Our driver wasn't real engaged, although the gentlemen Ben with him was awesome. Ben made it worthwhile by his constant communication and detailed information.

Aziz S, Dec 2016
Excellent with young kids to take in the whole city and see all major attractions from the outside on the first day. We could then pick and choose which ones we wanted to go back and see in more detail. Good with young kids.

This is definitely worth doing. We...

Matthew T, Oct 2016
This is definitely worth doing. We only had one day in Florence and could never have been able to see all the places of interest that we did with the cart tour. The guide was very informative and the tour was certainly a high light of our stay in Italy.

Wonderful tour! Our guide was from...

kath4cubs, Sep 2015
Wonderful tour! Our guide was from Sweden and spoke perfect English. She had in depth knowledge about the history of Florence. We covered so much ground in this golf cart in such a short amount of time, there is no way we would have seen so much by walking! Yet, we stopped frequently to get out, walk around and take pictures. Great Florence overview. I'd do it again!

Classificamos esse tour de boa, mas não...

Ricardo Maia D, Oct 2017
Classificamos esse tour de boa, mas não excelente apenas por um motivo. Tivemos que esperar uma hora na praça indicada para o carrinho chegar. Ok, depois que o carrinho chegou, o motorista pediu mil desculpas e explicou que naquele dia outros motoristas tinham faltado e que tinham muitos tours agendados. E realmente como essa opção de passeios por cidades onde se precisa andar muito para se ver tudo e como tínhamos pouco tempo , acabou sendo muito útil e confortável essa opção. Recomendamos . O motorista fez de tudo para minimizar esse stress da espera, muito simpático e atencioso, nos levando a lugares que em principio não faziam parte do trajeto. No final foi muito bom, até porque Florença é um espetáculo!! Um elogio especial ao tratamento atencioso que nos foi dado pelo rapaz nigeriano que fica na Piazza de la República atendendo pessoas interessadas no tour ou que já compraram o tour que era o nosso caso - porque tínhamos reservado aqui no Brasil , pela internet.
