Description
Fiat 500s were first introduced in Italy in the 1950s and quickly won the hearts of Italians for their stylish looks and affordable prices. Nowadays, vintage models are harder to come by, but you’ll have the rare chance to ride a 1960s model on your tour. Join up with your guide in central Florence and head to the garage where your retro car will be waiting for you. A safety overview will be provided as well as a test run with car’s manual gears to ensure you’re comfortable before hitting the road.
Then, you’re off! Your guide will keep in constant radio contact ahead as you follow through the city streets and up into the hills of Tuscany. Stop to see the beautiful Romanesque design of the Church of San Miniato al Monte, noted by many as the country’s most beautiful church, and soak up the surrounding views of Florence below. Hop back in your Fiat and journey deeper into Tuscany, pausing for photos and passing through charming hillside towns.
Your guide will lead the way to a private terrace, where you and your group will enjoy a traditional Tuscan meal, complete with regional specialties such as crostini and cured salami. After your stomach and taste buds have been sated, you will drive back to your original departure point in Florence.

Exciting vintage car experience with beautiful stops and food. I loved it all. My son loved it to. The views were amazing. The food was amazing definitely would do it again. Stefanos was patient and good with me I was nervous at first😕 driving a car so different and could be tricky but I got the hang of it. If you need help don’t be scared to ask. One of the best experience in my life.

So much fun!!! We (2 adults and 2kids 10&12 years) had a great time on the Fiat tour. Stefano and his team were professional and kind. We drove a vintage Fiat through the Tuscany country side, stopped at historical sites and ended at a beautiful estate for lunch- the views were just magical! Stefano was a wealth of knowledge on all things Tuscany- and olive trees!! What a great way to explore Florence and Tuscany. We’ve made fabulous memories here. Grazie Stefano and team! This tour is a must do!
