Treat yourself to a moment of pure relaxation immersed in centuries-old olive groves, savoring the true Tuscan oil and wine—the quintessence of rural life.

Very fun tour in the...
Very fun tour in the hills of fiesole. The driver was very nice and the tour super interesting. Do note that it is not any cooler in the hills than in Florence though

Great tour
Such a fun day! Marcello was a very good guide. All the views were amazing
via Tripadvisor
Beautiful Fiesole - fun short trip out of the city
Great experience to leave the city for a couple of hours and see Fiesole including the very interesting Roman theatre and great views of Florence. Also includes the view back from Piazzale Michelangelo on the other side of the river. The golf cart is fun (as long as the weather is fine). Marcello was a charming driver/guide.

Great tour of Fiesole
This was an excellent tour. Marcello was prompt, well informed and patient. The Abby and Roman ruins and museum were wonderful.
via Viator
Wonderful guide and trip
Marcelo was an excellent guide to show us around Florence. It was very nice to be able to see so much of the city and an organized way which then allow us to pinpoint more places we wanna do concentrate on. I highly recommend this mode to see the city as it was very flexible and we saw many things.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO take?
+
Plan for about 2.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fiesole : Florentine Hills, Roman Theater & PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
