Itinerary
The largest gate of the ancient walls of Florence, built in the fourteenth century and historic access to the city from the south.
Beautiful Medici and then Lorraine residence, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in the Florentine hills.
Elegant hilly area that houses the Astrophysical Observatory of Arcetri, linked to the figure of Galileo Galilei and the Torre del Gallo castle.
One of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in Tuscany, famous for its facade and views of the city.
The most famous panoramic point of Florence, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the historic center and the Arno.
During the golf cart ride you can admire unforgettable landscapes: olive groves, cypresses and ancient villas alternate along the road that climbs to Fiesole. Each curve offers a new view of Florence and the surrounding hills. You will have the opportunity to stop at panoramic points perfect for taking pictures and enjoying the authentic beauty of Tuscany.
READ WELL Discover one of the oldest places in Tuscany! Stroll through the remains of the Roman theatre, baths and Etruscan temple in an area surrounded by greenery, with spectacular views of the hills. The entrance fee is included, so you can freely visit the entire area and be fascinated by the Etruscan and Roman origins of Fiesole, where history meets nature in a timeless landscape. Or, if your tour departs after 1:30 pm – or at any time on Tuesdays until March, when the Archaeological Area is closed – you can visit the Bandini Museum, which collects medieval and Renaissance works of great value, and conclude the experience with a tasting of typical local biscuits, prepared according to the Fiesole tradition.
Visit the symbolic church of Fiesole, built almost a thousand years ago in Romanesque style. Inside you will find Renaissance frescoes and works of art, in an atmosphere of peace and authenticity. From the square in front of it there is an enchanting view of the Tuscan countryside and the valley leading to Florence.

This golf cart excursion into Firenze was beautiful, engaging, and worth taking. Seeing ancient Roman bath houses in Italy was amazing. Our guide was friendly and informative!! Great time.
knowledge and friendly driver pleasant destination relaxed and low-key half day activity for Florence
My boyfriend and I had Duccio as a guide. He was EXCELLENT! He was very informative and super friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better guide on this tour.
This was an excellent tour and well worth it just for the scenery! Gucci was an excellent driver and guide. One of our trip highlights!
Awesome tour away from the hustle and bustle of Florence. Fiesole was an amazing town and the archeology site was worth the trip. Also, you get an amazing opportunity for pictures overseeing Florence. Such a great way to end our time in Florence!
Used this tour operator last year and returned to try a different tour yesterday, didn’t disappoint 😎 Duccio was brilliant, funny, attentive and knowledgeable. Great content and loved the mix of the tour. Fiesole is fascinating and well worth a visit
Francesco was a wonderful tour guide! He was informative and generous, providing us with water and stopping for coffee which he bought for us. The archeological site and museum was very interesting. He stopped at several beautiful places so we could take photos. Loved riding around in the golf cart as well.
BOOK IT! This whole experience was great from start to finish. Duccio was our guide and he was AMAZING! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and awesome with our 8 year old. We had been staying in downtown Florence for a few days this was the perfect way to get out and see a bit of the countryside without taking up an entire day. The VIEWS!!! The views from Firenze would have made the whole trip worthwhile and were absolutely breathtaking. Then the archeological site had the whole family engaged! From start to finish each destination/stop was fantastic but Duccio really made the whole experience! When we talk about our trip to Florence this is sure to be our favorite story! Thank you so much! ***aside from being just an amazing experience, the operation was so easy. They had great communication etc, As the person booking and managing the experiences this trip, I was so thankful they made it so easy!
Very beautiful views of entire Florence area from above, and interesting archeological museum of findings of Florence’s history. Very considerate and friendly guides who took care of everything needed, even provided us a sample of local Florentine cookies.
Stunning views of Florence and the countryside. Loved the Roman ruins. Our guide gave us a recommendation to hike to the lookout park at the top of the hill and it was well worth the effort.
