View From the Top
This is a little gem of a tour in Florence! A little history provided by our charming guide Benito, a cool drive above the city in a golf cart through tree lined streets shading hillside mansions, a little food tasting with wine at a Michelin star restaurant and a panoramic view of the city and its walls. Nice addition to our trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Jana! We loved reading your description of the tree-lined roads, hillside views and tasting stop. We are delighted that Benito’s company and the combination of local stories, food and wine made this a special addition to your time in Florence. Thank you for calling our tour a little gem!

Nice to get a ride but not much of a tour
This was a good way to get up to the Piazzale Michelangelo on a showery day in a golf cart. The restaurant was great! There wasn't a lot of information provided on the tour as I think our guide was new. He was very pleasant and all in all it was a nice day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your balanced feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the restaurant and appreciated your guide’s friendly manner despite the showery weather. We are sorry the commentary did not provide the depth you expected. Your comments about the information shared during the tour are helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain.

+

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?
