Overview

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.
