Florence horse drawn carriage ride

Explore Florence’s medieval streets by horse-drawn carriage on this romantic 1.5-hour tour! Seating a maximum of eight people, your elegant carriage is pulled by two beautiful Percheron horses, who are driven by your coachman at a steady trot. Choose from two tour options – Classic Florence Tour or Boboli Gardens Tour with ‘Aperitivo’ -- at a time that suits you best, and hear all the top Florence attractions explained by your attentive local guide.

Hop into your horse-drawn carriage near Piazza della Signoria, and then set off to explore Florence's picturesque streets on your 1.5-hour tour. Choose from the following tour options:

Classic Florence Tour:
Sit back and relax as you travel through Piazza della Signoria -- the city’s most important central square -- and pass Florence Duomo (Basilica of Santa Maria Novella) with its iconic orange-colored dome.

Continue through Piazza della Repubblica, admiring its bustling sidewalk cafés, and see the Neo-Gothic Santa Croce church where the legendary Renaissance sculptor and painter Michelangelo is buried. See the bridge that’s considered to be Italy’s most romantic – the Ponte Vecchio – and then finish your horse and carriage ride back at the start point, near Piazza della Signoria.

Boboli Gardens Tour with Aperitivo:
Leave Piazza della Signoria and cross the River Arno over the Ponte Santa Trinita – an arched Renaissance bridge that links Florence’s bustling tourist district to the charming Oltrarno neighborhood. As you pass its artisan shops and bohemian houses, your guide will talk about the history of this charming little quarter.

The highlight of the south side of the Arno is undoubtedly Boboli Gardens – the royal gardens of beautiful Pitti Palace. Following an ancient path that was specifically designed for carriages, head to a magnificent panoramic viewpoint to enjoy unforgettable views of Florence. Relax here with your aperitivo – a glass of wine with nibbles -- and admire the vista before returning to Piazza della Signoria.
