Discover the hidden side of Florence that most tourists never see. Aboard silent, eco-friendly golf cart—fully authorized for restricted UNESCO zones—you will embark on an exclusive 2-hour journey from the city’s heart to the breathtaking Tuscan hills.
Our route takes you through the most elegant streets of Florence, past the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte, and up to the panoramic heights of Piazzale Michelangelo. We then venture into the exclusive "secret" neighborhoods of Arcetri and Bellosguardo, historically favored by poets and nobles.
The highlight of your journey is a 1-hour relaxing stop at the private estate of Monte Ripaldi. Here, you will enjoy a charming, authentic Italian picnic featuring savory Taralli and traditional Bread & Nutella, celebrated with a sparkling Prosecco toast as you take in the stunning view of the Tuscan landscape.
