3
Admire San Miniato al Monte

Customer Reviews
Loved the Golf Cart tour! Best money spent and saved us thousands of steps!! Best part took us to the hill top to see the entire city!! Highly recommend!
Not sure if I spelled the name correctly but our golf cart tour guide in Florence on 9/1/25 was the best. Knowledgeable, passionate and accommodating. Highly recommend him. Can’t express enough our gratitude.
My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Ricardo. It was our second day in Florence and we wanted to get an idea of the area and places to focus on. He showed us all around town, stopping at key places for quick photo ops. The finale was a visit to the top of the hill to see the breathtaking view of the entire city. We loved the tour and would highly recommend. We left a generous tip and hope others do as well. Well deserved experience for us.
Ricardo was great. He was a wealth of info and did a great job answering our follow-up questions. Unfortunately our family of five was split into two golf carts, which was a disappointment. If you want to be together, be sure to follow up and ask if it will be possible well ahead of your reservation so you can change your plans.
