About this experience
What to expect
This tour offers a hybrid approach, using a golf cart to cover the main distances while incorporating short walks to reach areas that vehicles cannot access. This is often the most effective way to see both the major monuments and the narrow, winding alleys of the historic center. Most visitors appreciate the ability to switch between riding and walking.
You can expect to visit a mix of busy piazzas and quiet residential streets. The cart serves as a base, allowing you to explore hidden staircases or small courtyards on foot before moving to the next location. The pace is usually adjusted based on the group's interests and the terrain.
This experience is ideal for those who want to see as much as possible without becoming exhausted. It balances the convenience of motorized transport with the intimacy of exploring on foot, providing a comprehensive look at the city's diverse layout.
