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.

Marcello was great! We had two teens with us and he was entertaining, HILARIOUS, and full of great historical facts about Florence, the Medici, Dante Aligheri's childhood home and Palazzo Pitti.
