What you'll see and do
Piazzale Michelangelo
During this golf cart tour, travelers will explore some of the most beautiful viewpoints and hidden gems of Florence. The experience includes Piazzale Michelangelo, where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city. From there, we will visit the historic Church of San Miniato al Monte, one of the oldest and most stunning churches in Florence, located above the city, as well as the nearby Cemetery of San Miniato, famous for its peaceful atmosphere and impressive monuments. The tour continues through Porta San Miniato and the scenic Michelangelo’s Cascades (Le Rampe), a unique historic stairway and water feature. We will also pass by Torre di San Niccolò, one of the last remaining medieval city gates still intact. Finally, we will stop at the Rose Garden (Giardino delle Rose), a peaceful spot filled with beautiful roses and spectacular views of Florence. This tour combines history, nature, and unforgettable scenery in a comfortable and relaxing way.

Giardino delle rose
We will stop at the beautiful Rose Garden (Giardino delle Rose), located just below Piazzale Michelangelo. It is a peaceful oasis filled with over 350 species of roses, lemon trees, and whimsical sculptures by the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon. Here, you can take a relaxing stroll, enjoy an incredible panoramic view of Florence's skyline, and take some of the best photos of your trip!
15 minutes here
Fontane delle Rampe del Poggi
As we drive up toward Piazzale Michelangelo, we will admire the spectacular Sistema delle Rampe del Poggi. Designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi in the 19th century, this monumental series of neo-Renaissance terraces, caves, and cascading waterfalls has been beautifully restored. It offers a magical, lush green atmosphere with flowing water right along our route, making the climb to the panoramic viewpoints incredibly scenic!
15 minutes here
Torre di San Niccolo
At the base of the hill leading to Piazzale Michelangelo, we will encounter the majestic Porta San Niccolò. This towering, 14th-century stone gate is the only medieval tower in Florence that was not lowered during the siege of 1529, meaning it still retains its original, imposing height. As we pass by in the golf cart, you will get a perfect, up-close view of this ancient fortress gate, which stands like a giant sentinel guarding the path up the hill.
10 minutes here
Basilica San Miniato al Monte
Perched on the highest point in Florence, just above Piazzale Michelangelo, we will reach the breathtaking Basilica of San Miniato al Monte. This 1,000-year-old Romanesque masterpiece is famous for its striking green-and-white marble facade and its quiet, mystical atmosphere. We will make a stop here to enjoy a panoramic view that is even higher and less crowded than Piazzale Michelangelo, and you'll have the chance to admire its spectacular architecture and the historic cemetery surrounding it.
20 minutes here
Ponte Vecchio
Stop at Ponte Vecchio – Enjoy a photo stop at Florence’s oldest and most famous bridge, lined with traditional jewelry shops and offering spectacular views of the Arno River.

Not a fan
Was not too impressed. I get a text to change from 10:30 to 10:00 then we are sitting in back of golf cart once it starts. Could not hear anything the driver was saying with road traffic & wind. Driver was informative only when we stopped when we could hear. The stops were no better than a hop on hop off bus . I have been on cart tours that pick you up at hotel but this didn’t not so take note. Need a speaker for back seat passengers. Would not recommend.

Good experience. Was nice to ride without having to walk everywhere. Honestly the buggy was decent. Our guide though was pretty awesome (Mario). He’s charismatic attitude and laid back vibe really sold the trip for us. The sites were cool

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $54 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 Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 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 Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 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 Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems?
+
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 Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems?
+
Around 5 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.
What is included in Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems?
+
Included: Free visit for the curch of san miniato and san salvatore al monte and cimitery. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Florence Golf Cart Tour: Best Highlights & Hidden Gems offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
