Description
See Florence from a new perspective on this 2-hour golf cart tour led by a knowledgeable local driver and accompanied by a rich audio guide. Leave the city center behind and travel from the lively district of San Frediano, past the ancient city walls and Porta Romana, toward the elegant Villa del Poggio Imperiale. The narration brings the landscape to life — from the stories of the Medici family and Isabella de’ Medici, to the genius of Galileo, whose villa stands among the olive groves of Arcetri, the quiet hill that has long watched over Florence. You’ll pass the Arcetri Observatory, glimpse the Certosa Monastery, and enjoy the serene beauty of this timeless countryside. The tour concludes at Michelangelo Square, where one of Florence’s most breathtaking views opens before you — a perfect finale that captures the harmony between the city, its history, and its surrounding hills.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Admire the grand southern gate of Florence and the marble sculpture Dietrofront by Michelangelo Pistoletto standing proudly in the roundabout.
The Bobolino Garden represented an important source of inspiration for the astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. Even today, Bobolino remains an elegant and evocative place, perfect for enjoying beautiful views and for imagining the close connection between science and beauty, elements that have always been deeply intertwined in the history of Florence.
From the outside, admire the peaceful villa where Galileo lived under house arrest. Here he continued his studies and corresponded with his daughter, Suor Maria Celeste, while shaping ideas that changed science forever.
Glance at the romantic silhouette of Arcetri Castle, then face the hill of the Observatory — Florence’s window to the stars.
End your tour at Florence’s most famous panoramic terrace, Piazzale Michelangelo, where the city’s domes, towers, and bridges unfold in a breathtaking view that captures the spirit of Florence.
An exterior tour of Florence's oldest Romanesque church. Legends, symbols , and the stoy of the saint are recounted.
See the elegant neoclassical villa once linked to the Medici family— a place of beauty, intrigue, and power overlooking the city.
Considered one of Florence’s most elegant bridges, Ponte Santa Trinita isn't just an architectural masterpiece—it is your front-row ticket to the most iconic view in the city. Here is what makes this stop an absolute must on your itinerary: The Perfect Perspective: Enjoy a completely unobstructed, panoramic view of the world-famous Ponte Vecchio. From here, you can admire the entire span of the bridge, its charming suspended shops, and the famous Vasari Corridor stretching across the Arno River. A Photographer’s Dream: This is hands-down the best spot in Florence for photos. The bridge's wide stone walls give you plenty of space to comfortably pose and frame your shot, ensuring you get that flawless, postcard-perfect picture with the Ponte Vecchio right behind you.

Scam don’t book
Booked this excursion for my 80 year old mother and I whilst in Florence. Arrived at 4.50, waited over an hour, called, emailed, tried contacting every way possible. Nothing back. Total rip off, don’t book this or use this company. The help centre is useless, the messaging service ignored.

Great guide, lots of changed plans
Guide was super patient and friendly. We specifically booked a time slot for our one night in Florence that would allow sunset views of the city, with dinner reservations after. On the afternoon of the tour we were notified our tour would be an hour late due to logistics. I explained our dinner reservation and was then rescheduled to an hour earlier than our original plan. Due to the high temperature and our location within the city, we then were compelled to change our dinner reservation so as not to wait around for an hour. Ultimately, we're never got to see a Florence sunset at all. Of note, there were 3 people expecting to be on our tour who were denied because their itinerary was also changed and they weren't able to be reached by phone. They were finally provided another golf cart driver; however our tour did pass by them when their golf cart overheated. I sure hope those people were compensated for all the time they spent just sitting in the hot sun.

Unique Experience
What a great way to experience the sights of Florence that would otherwise be impossible. We had an incredible experience, which we otherwise would have never been able to see or do, without the cart. Our driver was fun and knowledgeable and provided us with an incredible day.

Great Activity!
We so enjoyed riding through the beautiful hills outside Florence on a golf cart. It was so much better an experience than being on a tour bus. We had a great tour guide who provided so much information. We highly recommend!

Cool low-key way to get out and see the surrounding area better. Lasted just the right amount of time. Our driver brought us to all the good stops and pointed out important things along the way.
