Private Florence Tour by Golf Cart ETukTuk with Audio Guide

1.Private Florence Tour by Golf Cart ETukTuk with Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 256 reviews · 1 hour 10 minutes (approx.) · from $50Our pick

You’ll tour Florence privately by covered golf cart for about 70 minutes, using an English audio guide as you pass Santa Croce, the Medici quarter, Ponte Vecchio, Oltrarno, and more. Drivers including Alejandro, Osama, Alex, and Valentino have also added live comments. Upgrade for stops at Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato Church.

“Not the best. Audio did not work on all locations, came through in the wrong language on occasion. Driver clearly knows the name of buildings but would kind of point and was hard to hear or understand. Seemed like a nice person. Offered to drop us off at a location before the meet up spot and when I looked back female person from the business jumped in the golf cart. It is hot and crowded and was the end of a day, I get it but this was not worth the money spent.”

Guide Hyde has been praised for being friendly and informative. The tour starts and ends by the Carrousel du Louvre.

“The tour and the friendliness of the person were exceptional. Negative: in Erfurt in Germany the GetYourGuide cyclist had a green, visible shirt. In Paris no DISTINCTIVE shirt, we struggled to track him down because there are numerous competing companies (with other RISCIO' that are not perfect and not clean like ours was). If you ask the competitors for information to track down your RISCIO'? .. you receive wrong, misleading answers. The street number Rue Rivoli 99 was perfect ... a distinctive cyclist's shirt would have helped us.Read more”

“The starting point is in a very congested shopping mall. Very hard to get out. The Hemley Cider place is closed indefinitely. No tastings. Wasted 30 minutes in there. The restaurant recommended by the host in Locke Al the Wops was not good for lunch. Husband got Fish & Chips, I got a burger. Nothing special. We could not finish the tour. That is as far as we got. Allow at least an hour more.”
