Giulio was amazing!!! We couldn’t ask for a better tour! He shared so much information about Florence and took time to answer all our questions! He gave us great recommendations for dinner and culture!
Great experience. Plenty of time to get out and take pictures while being driven. Great way to see the hillside just outside the city.
Do this trip to get a great panoramic view of Florence without the long walk up the hill? The driver was punctual, very friendly and knowledgeable.
We had one more day in Florence and nothing planned, so last minute we decided to book this golf cart tour. It was a great decision. Julio was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend them if you want to see the kills around Florence and the beautiful sights of the city from above.
What a great experience and great to see all the panoramic views of Florence. Our guide was awesome and very informative. It was the highlight of our Florence trip.
The tour with "Florence Platinum Tours" in the golf cart through Florence, including Piazzale Michelangelo and the surrounding area, was very nice. Despite the fact that the tour could still be booked for the next day and only the time was slightly adjusted, our cart was very punctual at the agreed meeting point. Our driver Mario greeted us warmly and introduced the ride in broad strokes. A bottle of water was provided for us on board, a welcome refreshment in the prevailing heat. It was agreed that the tour would be in English with a German audio guide. However, we understood each other splendidly through a mix of Italian-English with German subtitles! Mario showed us the best views of Florence and the surrounding area and took us to several more stops. There was a break planned everywhere for taking photos. The time flew by and was worth every €! We are very grateful to Mario and will book him again if we come to Florence!
Excellent tour! Hamed was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the history of Florence come alive. Our entire group, from young kids to elderly parents, had a great time. During the heat wave, the golf cart was the perfect way to see the city comfortably. We learned so much and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence!
Great tour and guide (Julio). He took us to some great places and provided good insight on what we were looking at.
We had so much fun and learned a lot!
Decided last minute to do the golf cart ride to help beat the heat — best decision ever! It was such a fun and relaxing way to see everything without melting in the sun. Highly recommend, we got to see so much of Florence that we wouldn’t have been able to fit in. And so helpful if you’re visiting during the hotter months. Wonderful experience all around!
