A relaxing fun way to see Florence

Published on Oct, 2024

This was one of the highlights of the trip. We greatly enjoyed the pastry and coffee before the trip and the guide was excellent and very informative. The trip was a relaxing enjoyable experience. Well worth booking.

Loved this!

Wow this was amazing, the whole ride was smooth and informative. Before we got on we grabbed some breakfast which was nice. This ride is very relaxing and a must in Florence!

Relaxing way to start your day!!
