Before setting off you will be provided with audio guides in different languages with interesting and comprehensive explanations of the attractions that you will encounter during your Florence Eco Tour. Would you like to know which attractions you will see? Here they are:

• San Firenze square: situated near Palazzo Vecchio, the square is dominated by the San Filippo Neri complex and is now the location of the headquarters of the Peruvian Consulate.
  Two interesting facts: numerous archival studies revealed that young Masaccio used to work right in the shop at the corner of Via della Condotta, currently a bar. Furthermore, the ruins of the Temple of Isis, dating back to the second century, lie under the headquarters building of the former court.

• The eco green tour in Florence will continue through Piazza della Signoria, the heart of the city, reaching the busy Porcellino Market that hosts the homonym fountain. When you arrive in front of the Porcellino statue, it is considered lucky to touch the nose of the piglet that is incredibly shiny because of all the hands that have stroked it.

• After admiring Davanzati Palace, location of the Museo della Casa Fiorentina, you will come to one of the major landmarks of Florence, Piazza del Duomo, dominated by the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery of San Giovanni.

• After viewing the wonderful Piazza del Duomo, you can admire the Church of Santa Maria Novella, the best example of Gothic architecture in Tuscany and a treasure trove of important works such as the 'Trinity' by Masaccio, Giotto's Crocifisso and frescoes by Ghirlandaio. Staying in the historic centre of Florence, the eco city your of Florence will lead you to Piazza Ognissanti and the Ponte Santa Trinità, considered one of the most beautiful and elegant bridges in Italy.

• Palazzo Pitti is next up – an extremely important stop-over in our Eco tour of Firenze - home to major museums and art galleries - and the famous Ponte Vecchio, landmark of the city, on top of which you can see a part of the Vasari Corridor.

• Comfortably seated on board the vehicle, you will continue your Florence eco tour to the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, one of the most important and extensive libraries in Europe, to then head to Piazza Santa Croce, dominated by the Basilica, a high example of Gothic style, officiated by Franciscan friars. The square is also known for hosting the final stages of the traditional game of Florentine football every summer.

• The final part of our Golf Cart tours will introduce you to two other historic sights of the city: the Orsanmichele Church and the Dante’s house. The former, distinguished by 14 chapels located on the outside and constructed by masters on the same level of Brunelleschi and Donatelli, has a very particular history, having been built as a lodge for the corn market.
  Not far from the church, in one of the oldest parts of Florence, is the three-storey Museum of Dante's house that marks the milestones of the life of the great poet.
