Admire Tuscany’s legendary countryside as you drive along narrow, stonewalled lanes, ancient villas, and fields filled with olive trees. Of course, there will be plenty of time to stop for amazing photos. You couldn’t ask for a better backdrop to feature your vintage vehicle!

If you’ve been riding in the passenger's seat, this is also a great time to switch things up and get behind the wheel if you feel like doing so!

Traditional Tuscan Lunch

Driving through the winding streets of Tuscany is sure to work up an appetite! Now, it’s time to indulge in traditional Tuscan delicacies. From a private terrace, admire majestic views of castles and villas sitting atop lush, green hills. Take it all in as you devour Tuscan local specialties, such as cheese, prosciutto, and a glass of Chianti wine.

We’ll stop at one glass this time, as you’ve still got more driving to do!

Back to Florence

After snapping more photos from your incredibly scenic lunch views, it’s time for one more ride in your dream car! Follow your guide as you take the scenic route back to Florence, soaking in the enchanting landscape one more time.

Favorite part of our trip!

by: Cathy d on Tripadvisor

Absolute must do!! This was our favorite outing in Florence. Alex was a fantastic guide! He was so fun and taught us a lot about the region!

Highly recommend

by: K5539 on Tripadvisor

We loved cruising around in our little Fiat. What a fun day. The views are just incredible, the staff was professional and so kind (thank you Gabrielle) and the cars are adorable. Lunch was served on a beautiful, private patio with garden views and the food was very good. Good info to know: our meeting time was 8:30, but the actual driving tour didn’t start until 10:30. There was a bus ride to their garage, instructions and a quick test drive for everyone. We were in a group with people doing the same tour on Vespas and all rode together. I highly recommend this tour. See the outskirts of Florence in a completely unique way.

by: Madeline C on Tripadvisor

Stephenado was AMAZING!! the tour was fantastic and my husband loved it! If you can drive a manual go for fiats!! The food was great and the views were 100/10!!!

Get out of the city in a once in lifetime experience

by: Harry on Tripadvisor

Being able to see the Tuscan countryside and getting out of the city is an absolute treat. It was gorgeous. I would highly recommend bringing driving gloves as the steering wheel is not wrapped in leather.

Joy ride with a view and delicious food.

by: Jgib_10 on Tripadvisor

This was so much fun driving an old Fiat. We stopped at beautiful views on the country side of Florence. The tour guide was funny and knowable about the area. The lunch stop was beautiful scenery and the food was delicious.

Believe the reviews - great tour

by: Sbrown8880 on Tripadvisor

This is one of the most enjoyable tours have done. Totally worth is and so much fun, the Fiat 500s are tiny and always put smile on face. Guides were great, food at lunch was delicious. If ever get back to Florence would do this tour again

by: Barry M on Tripadvisor

A great change of pace from galleries and churches. The vintage Fiats are a blast to drive. Lunch was taken at a lovely Tuscan property.

Fantastic day out

by: Leah K on Tripadvisor

Absolutely fantastic day out, great tour guide (David) and stunning views. Would highly recommend for a day out.

Fantastic experience - you won’t be disappointed

by: Mum66016 on Tripadvisor

This activity was fantastic. Highly recommended. From the moment we were introduced to Stefano, Chris and Alex they did their best to make the trip enjoyable for all. The cars were great fun to drive and with the convoy of vintage Fiat 500s and Vespas was a lovely thing to see and be part of and loved equally by the locals. Lunch was tasty (although make sure you wear insect repellent on your legs). Views and countryside are stunning. We enjoyed it so much we would do the whole trip again in a heartbeat. You won’t be disappointed.

by: Flyer738627 on Tripadvisor

Loved being in the little car and driving around. Lovely visit to vineyard and hear the local history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cater for people with food allergies/vegetarians.

Definitely! If you would prefer an alternative to the menu we have chosen, please tell your tour leader and he/she will telephone ahead to arrange it.

WHAT SHOULD WE BRING?

You must bring your driving licence. Make sure you bring your camera!

DO I HAVE TO DRIVE STICK SHIFT OR DO YOU HAVE AUTOMATICS?

Our Vintage Fiat 500's only have stick shift gears so you must have experience of driving a car with gears.

IS DRIVING IN FLORENCE DIFFICULT?

Driving in Italy can be a little different, so just like driving anywhere in the world you must be alert and vigilant and follow the tour leader's instructions.

WHAT IF I LOSE SIGHT OF THE LEADER?

The tour leader will be in constant contact with you with a two way radio. If cars get separated from the tour leader, for example at traffic lights, the tour leader will wait in the first safe place until all the cars are together again.

HOW MANY CAN TRAVEL IN ONE CAR?

Each car will take three adults or two adults with two youths. Passengers are reminded that there are no rear seat safety belts

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

No high heels or flip flops for the driver, flat driving shoes are essential for changing gear!

DO YOU PICK US UP FROM OUR HOTEL?

We do not organise hotel pick-ups for difficulties with parking and scheduling, but our meeting in front in Piazza dei Cavalleggeri is very central and should be easy to get to. We are just in front of the Biblioteca Nazionale (National Library) from which many hotels are located within easy walking distance of. Otherwise a taxi (you could ask your hotel to book it for you) would be the fastest option, dropping you off right at the entrance of the Biblioteca Nazionale (National Library).

Who painted the inside of the Duomo in Florence?

After Brunelleschi’s Dome was complete, the plain, white ceiling needed to be filled. Grand Duke Cosimo I Medici called upon his trusted friend, Giorgio Vasari, to complete the task. Vasari designed an incredible scene to fill the dome: this fresco is called “The Last Judgement.”
