About this tour
Explore Florence's hilltop neighbourhoods by golf cart with a private driver-guide, skipping the crowded centro for quieter vantage points. Over 90 minutes, you'll loop through San Miniato al Monte, Piazzale Michelangelo, Bellosguardo, Villa Galileo, and Porta Romana—stopping frequently to frame photographs. The tour culminates in Arcetri, a tucked-away village where you'll pause for a picnic overlooking the terracotta cityscape. Designed for those who'd rather sit than shuffle.

What to expect
You'll board a golf cart and wind through Florence's southern hills with a guide who narrates as you move. Expect 4–5 stops at lookouts and landmarks, each giving you time to step out, frame shots, and absorb the landscape. The cart handles narrow, steep lanes with ease; the pace is leisurely rather than rushed. Mid-tour, you'll arrive in Arcetri to sit, eat, and simply watch the Duomo and surrounding rooftops from a distance most visitors never reach. Minimal walking; mostly sitting and looking.
Good to know
Bring a camera or phone with a charged battery. Comfortable shoes still recommended despite the cart. Bottled water provided. Infants can travel in prams or specialised seats. Tour works rain or shine, though hillside winds can be brisk even in warm months.
