WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Piazza Santa Croce
Piazza and Basilica of Santa Croce: Piazza Santa Croce is undoubtedly one of the most evocative places in Florence. Located in the eastern sector of the city, formerly a marshy and unhealthy area, the square and the surrounding neighborhood take their name from the imposing Basilica managed by the Franciscan order, who settled here since 1226.

National Library: Built in the 1930s in Pietraforte, the Library boasts an eclectic style that evokes medieval and Renaissance architectural elements at the same time.
3. Basilica San Miniato al Monte
Basilica San Miniato al Monte, panoramic point. The Basilica of San Miniato is one of the favorite churches of the Florentines, perhaps also because of the beautiful view that can be enjoyed over the whole city. The church represents, together with the Baptistery of San Giovanni, a splendid example of Florentine Romanesque and is located on top of the so-called "Mons Florentinus" where the first communities Christians dug their catacombs.
4. Piazzale Michelangelo
Piazzale Michelangelo The large square, a real balcony over the city, was built between 1865 and 1875 and introduced the tourist concept of panorama for the first time in Florence.

Thanks to the funding of the important families of the district, Santa Croce became one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the city. Its large size also reflects the vastness of the population of the district, with which the Franciscans had immediately established a close and fruitful relationship.
8. Palazzo Medici Riccardi
Medici Riccardi Palace The powerful Medici dynasty has its origins in Mugello, a hilly region north of Florence. Urbanized during the 1200s, the Medici soon became one of the richest and most influential families in the city; the building here in front of us is proof of this: Palazzo Medici Riccardi. The palace is a project by Michelozzo, commissioned around 1445 by Cosimo the Elder, patriarch of the Medici family.

Built in 1565 in just five months, this one-mile long airway kilometer, it served as a private passage between the government buildings in Palazzo Vecchio and the Court Medici in Palazzo Pitti.
15. Palazzo Pitti
Palazzo Pitti and Piazza Pitti in Piazza Pitti, dominated on its top by the grandiose. Palazzo Pitti, built in 1440 by Luca Pitti on a project by Filippo Brunelleschi.

A golf cart is a great way to see the city especially since we had limited time in Florence. The guide was very knowledgeable. We saw so much and he took us to a great lookout point over the city.

The 1.5-2 hour golf cart tour around Florence was wonderful! We were able ride around the city guided by Johnny, our driver. He was very very nice and stopped at all of the beautiful sites and piazzas. We were able to take great pictures. It was definitely the best way to see the sites in a short time.

This was the best way to get acquainted with Florence. Our driver Claudio was great at trying to answer all of our questions. The electric car is so cute that others were taking pictures of us in the car. This electric car can go places that others aren’t allowed so you get easy access to many of the highlights of Florence.
It was well worth the money to have a tour like this.

Made our reservations online very easily. Met our driver Marina who was there prior to the meeting time, a definite plus! Marina came out and introduced herself and of we went. The tour was great, some recorded audio of significant points of interest and supplemented with photos of the interiors of some buildings we observed. This was helpful as most of the buildings are very plain viewed from outside. Marina also provided a lot of anecdotal information along the way. Our tour also included a trip to the Michelangelo plaza which sits on a hill that overlooks all of Florence, just an amazing view! Unfortunately our tour ended all too soon. ? if you have a chance I highly recommend this tour. Their vehicles have more structure than the golf carts and nobody had to ride facing backwards and has the ability to enclose in case of in-climate weather vs. plastic curtains on some and hope you’ll get a guide as friendly and knowledgeable as Marina!

We took a ride with Eric and had a wonderful time seeing more sights than we would have by just walking everywhere. Plus it was quite hot and moving in the little electric cart was much more comfortable. After living in Florence for 12 years, Eric was knowledgeable and friendly. We would take another trip with him anytime and highly recommend Eco Florence Tour. Because the vehicle is electric it was quiet, and he drove safely and made stops so we could walk into some of the churches and other sites of interest. We took the most comprehensive package and it was definitely worth the money1

A great bite-size approach to experiencing Florence and seeing the various sites - especially if you're not in Florence for long. I'd recommend doing this tour early on in your trip, then choosing specific sites to spend more time at afterward (if you choose to explore more). Eric was an amazing tour guide - he made our day!

Our driver, Michele, was fantastic. He arrived early to the meeting point, was very accommodating when we wanted to stop for photos (and even took our group photos for us). He is a true Florentine, proud of his beautiful city and happy to share it with us. We loved the e-cart experience and would absolutely do this again!

Our hotel recommended and booked this tour for us. We opted for the longer tour that took us over the river as I particularly wanted to go to Michael Angelo Plaza to look back over the beautiful city of Florence. Our tour guide was Michael and he was really lovely and took us of a lovely tour of the city and stopped at each spot to tell us about each venue and if we did not go inside show us pictures of the interior on his phone. He was very informative and we learned much about the city. A really enjoyable couple of hours and a fun way to get round the small streets of Florence in the eco car. Highly recommend this tour, lots of fun and really interesting. My favourite part was definitely looking back over the city, absolutely breathtaking.
