Perhaps my expectations were too high…but I expected a lovely tour through the Tuscan Hills in a Fiat, not going at a snails pace to continually “count heads” on accompanying Vespas. Like other reviewers, I agree that Fiats and Vespas should be a separate tour. As it was, we were the only Vespa folk and as I stalled the Vespa x 2 in the “test” I was not allowed to drive, but had to go in the tour guides car (whom I might add, stalled the Fiat on the road) It was my one and only dream on this holiday, to drive a Fiat in Tuscany and a little more patience from “Dave” would have been nice. We thought he was more suited to staying in Physics rather than Tour guiding. He also had an altercation with another participant that could have been handled way better. Stefano appeared to have better people skills and we wish we had been in his group. The tour sounds like there is adequate time to tour more of Tuscany, but it was drained by getting all the Vespa riders ready. Be warned it is also Third Party Insurance only, so if you have the misfortune to have an accident and it’s your fault, you are NOT covered. We left the tour disappointed and I’ll not ever have the opportunity to drive a Fiat in Tuscany again. Too many missed opportunities on this Tour

The experience for driving a vintage fiat was really nice and tbe personal perfect and a 10 for them. The only problem was that there was not enough time of driving and not very beutiful views during the experiencia. We did it previously 7 years ago and went more to the real countryside and stopped in a vineyard.

The guide, Gabrielle was attentive and very informative. The car was lovely and scenery was most enjoyable. Kids and adults can’t bear to end the session. Great experience. Gracias!

Alex led us with charm, knowledge and professional care. If you like vintage cars, this is for you. (It was for me ;)

The trip was well planned and both guides were knowledgeable about the areas we traveled. Lunch was delicious and the views were incredible - even though it rained. Thankfully we rented the Fiat and not the Vespa.

We had such a great time! Alex and Chris took such great care of us! The lunch was great and it was fun meeting the other people on the tour. We would definitely recommend taking this tour. We loved escaping the city centre and crusin' around the hills in the Fiat 500!

If you're tired of churches and museums and want to do something different, this may be the experience for you. You get to drive either a vintage Fiat 500 or a Vespa scooter out into the Tuscan countryside and then end up at a Tuscan estate for a wonderful Italian meal. This was probably the most fun we had on our Italy trip. Alex and Stephano were great at guiding us through how to drive the Fiats and then leading us through the countryside. They were both a lot of fun. If you think you might enjoy it, just go for it. I don't think you'll regret it.

What an amazing experience! If you have time, and know how to drive standard, we highly recommend doing this. Same price for either Vespa or Fiat. The two guides, Alex and Stefano are the dynamic duo of Firenze. The pasta dish and wine pairing are divine, simple but so delicious. All the stops were great. Driving the little car is the highlight. But be prepared to drive. Not your usual stick shift. We would do it again.

We had a fantastic time, everyone was friendly and the day was well organised. Lots of photo opportunities and a great way to spend a day out in the open driving through Tuscany

Driving the Fiat 500 - loads of photo opportunities - lovely lunch. Kept informed what was happening at all times.
