    Simple booking process, and the rest sells itself!

    One of the easiest things I’ve ever booked. Had the idea after seeing a horse ride past at 11am, messaged on WhatsApp at 3pm, had a lot of questions about timings and pick up points. By 6pm I was on a chariot within a minute from my accomodation. Franco was a great guide. The highlight was definitely How easy it was to book. Made me look great in front of my partner and daughter ! Haha

    Florence at sunset!

    Clear communication and Franco was an asking carriage driver! Will definitely book again when we are next in Florence! Worth every penny, we did the 30 minute tour during sunset, very romantic and beautiful!

    Magical Florence at Sunset – A Wonderful Family Experience

    My review just submitted: A fantastic way to experience Florence! Our family of four enjoyed a wonderful one-hour horse-drawn carriage ride around the city, taking in the sights and atmosphere from a completely different perspective. Our driver, Franco, was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights and stories about the city and its most famous landmarks. Our horse, Stella, was also wonderful and clearly very well looked after and cared for. We even got to spend a little time with Stella at the end of the journey, which was a lovely touch. We chose the 20:00–21:00 slot, which was absolutely perfect in August. With the sun setting around 20:30, riding through the streets of Florence at sunset was genuinely magical. It’s difficult to imagine a better or more memorable way to see this incredible city. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence!

    Highly recommend

    We had a wonderful experience on our horse-drawn carriage ride through Florence! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting history and information about the city. We were on the carriage wihh our three young daughters, it was tight but for one hour was ok. The carriage ride itself was smooth, comfortable, and relaxing, making it a perfect way to take in the beautiful sights. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable way to experience Florence!

    Fairy tale ride through Venice

    My wife and I had a wonderful time on the carriage ride with Steven as a tour guide. The ride was breathtaking and comfortable and allowed us to see historical Florence. Additionally, Steven was well versed in the history and did an excellent job making the trip interesting and engaging while we viewed the breathtaking scenery.

    Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 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 Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour?

    +

    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 Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour?

    +

    Around 10 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence : Carriage Tour in the Old Town – Romantic Tour 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.
