We thought this was simply going to be an art walking tour, but we felt like we got so much more. Alex was amazing and you can tell he really loves the city and sharing details about it. We saw so many cool images on the street, but also got to see some of the sites and different areas of the city on the same trip. We saw cathedrals, churches, bridges, and the Palazzo Vecchio. We learned about local street artists like Blub and Clet and saw so many different street art images while we walked. We also visited 2 local artist shops where you can view more art and purchase it if you want. There's definitely a lot of walking involved on this tour, but it was one of our favorites on the trip.

It was really wonderful after days of walking tours and aching feet, to be driven around and shown the city. Alex was amazing! He even let us stop to pick up a cappuccino and would let us get off the golf cart to take pictures. He was really really lovely. My only regret is not knowing that was an option for other tours because i would have taken all the outdoor tours this way and saved our poor aching feet! Thank you Alex!

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.

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!

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