Florence is beautiful from the inside, but breathtaking from above. Skip the steep climb and the crowds: your private driver-guide choices you up in an open-air golf cart and shows you the side of the city most visitors miss.

Ride along the Arno past Ponte Vecchio, cross the historic Oltrarno and pass through the old city gate of Porta Romana. Quiet country lanes lined with stone walls, villas and olive trees lead up to Bellosguardo, a hidden hilltop with one of the widest views over Florence. Continue to the Romanesque basilica of San Miniato al Monte, then finish at Piazzale Michelangelo with the whole skyline in front of you.

Along the way, your guide shares stories about Florence's history and stops wherever you want a photo. It's private, so only your group, at your pace. Guiding in English, Italian, Spanish, French or Arabic. Ideal for families and older travellers. Book a late-afternoon slot to catch the sunset.
