Is a Florence city tour worth it?

Florence, a jewel of the Renaissance and a magnet for art and culture lovers, is a city best discovered with open eyes and a curious heart. One of the most convenient and varied ways to explore this great city is by hop-on/hop-off bus.

The double-decker buses offer an elevated viewing position that allows you to look out over the crowds and enjoy marvellous panoramic views of Florence. From the majestic Duomo to the impressive Piazza della Signoria, the sights are presented from a unique perspective.

With the hop-on/hop-off option, you can get off at your convenience, explore a sight and later get back on one of the regularly scheduled buses. This gives you the freedom to set your own pace and make spontaneous discoveries without being tied to a fixed timetable.

All buses are equipped with audio guides in different languages. So you hear exciting stories and facts about the places you pass.

For visitors who have limited time in Florence, these buses are an optimal solution to see many sights in a short time. Not only do they save time, but they also offer the opportunity to relax and enjoy the view during the journey.
