We were 10 minutes late because we got lost and our guide waited for us. We were so relieved. We got to see all the most important sites of Florence from the comfort of our own cart. The kids loved it. Our driver was so nice, taking pictures for us and sharing recommendations for places to go while in Florence. We followed his advice for dinner and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

This may have been the highlight of my entire trip to Europe. Gorgeous architecture, fascinating history, and a guide who took great care of us. It was a little difficult to find him - meeting instructions were not great - but he ended up pulling into the piazza a few minutes before our scheduled meeting time and it worked out fine.

Great tour by Pietro. A member of our group is not able to walk long distances so it was great to see the whole city easily. He let us take some stops (gelato, free perfume museum) and have us lots of picture stops. Definitely go up to piazza san michanelgo. It’s an amazing view!

We enjoyed the electric cart tour through Florence. We were able to visit some locations that might have been difficult for us to access on foot, so we appreciate the experience. Our driver, Simon was very friendly and provided so much interesting information on our tour.

The tour guide was nice and friendly. It’s just we hardly understand his explanation in English while trying to describe the historical stories.
