Our driver then takes us through the beautiful Tuscan countryside (approximately 2 hours depending on traffic) to the fascinating city of Florence. Built on both sides of the Arno River, Florence has had a significant impact not only on the culture of Italy, but on that of Europe as well. We drive up the Viale dei Colli to the amazing terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo. Here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city, whilst our guide tells us about some of the churches, palaces and bridges we can see from our vantage point.
