Description
Discover Florence’s green hills, evocative viewpoints, and the countryside surrounding the city in the comfort of a private electric golf cart. This tour avoids the busiest historic areas, ascending to Piazzale Michelangelo, the city’s renowned panoramic terrace.
Due to local UNESCO regulations, golf carts cannot enter certain restricted zones, including Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte. The cart stops nearby at Piccolo Belvedere, a quiet vantage point with views over Florence. From there, guests walk approximately 100 meters to Piazzale Michelangelo to admire the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Arno River, and the historic rooftops.
The route continues towards San Miniato al Monte, a peaceful area famous for its Romanesque basilica and tranquil atmosphere. The tour proceeds through the hills of Arcetri and Pian dei Giullari, areas historically favored by artists and scholars such as Galileo Galilei. Along the way, experience cypress trees, historic villas, and olive groves while learning local stories and facts from your driver-guide.
This tour is tailored for those wanting to experience Florence’s natural and historical beauty comfortably and at a relaxed pace.
