Highlights
  • Piazza della Signoria - speech about the Old palace, Medici family who used to live there. Description of all the statues in the square. Stop for pictures
  • Palazzo Vecchio - Undeniably gorgeous by day, Florence is somehow even more so by night, when the city seems to positively glow from lights flickering on its Renaissance buildings. Handily, your Florence Night Segway Tour takes place at this ideal time, ensuring you’ll capture the magic of top Florence sights at night, minus the daytime crowds and the soaring midday heat.

In the early evening, meet your friendly guide and start with a 30-minute orientation to get familiar with your two-wheeled, electric, self-balancing Segway. Once you feel comfortable, you’ll weave through Florence’s charming narrow streets, following your guide into the historical center.

Glide from Piazza della Repubblica, a bustling city square, to the beautiful Basilica of Santa Croce with its distinctive green and white marble façade. After stopping for photos and to listen to audio commentary about this historic area, set off again drawing cheerful glances from stylish Florentines on their evening strolls.

Piazza della Signoria is the next stopping point, and you’ll quickly discover why so many consider this as the beating heart of Florence. Framed by more majestic monuments, statues and picturesque buildings than you could ever hope to see, the square’s true showstoppers include the copy of Michelangelo’s famous David sculpture and the grand town hall – Palazzo Vecchio.

Continue out of the square to see Strozzi Palace, a glittering showcase of Renaissance architecture, and gaze in awe at Florence Duomo, with its distinctive orange dome dominating Florence’s nighttime cityscape.

Your tour finishes nearby, and after returning your Segway, your guide will point you in the best direction to get back to your hotel.

  • Piazza San Firenze - Speech about the Bargello (old prison of Florence, now a museum) and Palazzo Gondi, where Leonardo started to paint the Monnalisa.

A fun way to explore Florence city - This was a great experience and fun way to see many of the main attractions around Florence city. The E-Scooters were a lot of fun and Poalo was an excellent tour guide. A very knowledgeable local with obvious passion for his marvelous city. Would recommend this tour without hesitation.

Well worth it, great first tour - Well organized and planned tour. Fat Tire Tours did a great job across the board, with clear instructions prior, organized setup at the outset, and a great tour and guide provided. Our guide was very friendly, entertaining, and also was good at keeping us safe on the tour and scooters. I wish I could remember his name, it may have been Andrea after looking at the site? This was my first time in Florence and I found the planned path to be busy, but very safe. Traffic was a concern of mine before we attended. Well worth it, you get a great feel for the city overall, and discuss the important areas with great views.

Great scooter tour! - Excellent guide, very knowledgeable! Scooters were comfortable and easy to use. Be prepared for some bumpy rides on the cobblestone streets of Florence. Fun way to see and learn about some of the major sites in the city.

Cool tour! - Our guide, Marza (Marsha) was great and very knowledgeable. Provided great insight, recommendations and some cool modern info that we did not get anywhere else. Downtown was way too crowded so she pivoted and took us to another area with a great view.

Highly recommended - We had an excellent tour with Andrea. We booked a scooter tour but unfortunately my teenage daughter is quite anxious so didn’t want to use the scooter. He was so so kind and patient with her and suggested that we took bikes instead. This meant he worked later than he should have and changed the tour to allow for the bikes. After a stressful start (our fault) we had a beautiful tour. Loved cycling around the city in the early evening and we even had time to stop for a glass of wine in the magical Piazza Santa Croce at dusk. Very knowledgeable and the patience of a saint!

Do this! At night! It's beautiful! - We HIGHLY recommend this tour company. Our nighttime Segway tour actually got canceled because of "logistical issues", so we were offered a nighttime bicycle tour (longer duration/less cost) as an alternative option, which we decided to take. Wow. SO glad things worked out as they did. Our guide, Stephania, is just simply an outstanding human being. She is just a total delight. Her knowledge of the history of Florence is fantastic and her enthusiasm shines through without seeming to be "put on" like so many tour guides can come across. We just adored her, our other tour companions, and the relaxed enjoyment, which included a stop looking down on the banks of the Arno river, with wine and self-provided snacks. My husband and I agree this was a highlight during our 21-day European vacation.
