What a cool experience we will remember forever. We travel a lot and this was such a great memory we will never forget. Who else can say they drove through the Italian countryside in a vintage fiat? Im 6'3 I fit no problem although only the wife knew how to drive a stick so I was passenger princess for the day. Our tour guides ella and Chris were second to none. They were patient with everyone and even people who were hesitant about driving a manual ended up doing great after a quick test drive with the instructor (which everyone driving will have to do). They slso had electric fiats if all else failed anf you didnt feel comfortable with the vintage car Very safe, our route had very little traffic. We visited a beautiful monastery in addition to lunch with a few. Book it, you wont regret it. Dont forget to bring your license!

Had a great tour run by Gabrielle today. He was great at explaining the vehicles and kept things fun throughout the morning. Perfect way to explore outside the city. Driving the fiat through the hills was a highlight of the trip.

Chris was the absolute best guide, I'm going to name my next cat after him! Super knowledgeable, answered all questions we had about the cars. It was a scorching hot day and he made sure that any stops we made had good shade spots so we wouldn't die. The views were amazing and lunch was wonderful!

Fun experience with patient and knowledgeable guides. Antonio and Gabriele went above and beyond to make sure we all knew how to operate the Fiat 500 cars safely and have a fun time.

gabriel, helena and alex showed us a great time in the florentine hills. It was a really pleasant experience to contrast all the museums i had visited.

There was a pretty long training for the vespas and lots of safety checks for the car too. Hosts were very thorough..We had Elena and Mira. Very funny and nice. The lunch was good and the setting is beautiful.
Such a fun experience! Mira was a fabulous tour guide. Long enough to see the hillside, but still time for other activities in the day.

Chris was our specific group leader. Together with Antonio and Elanora they did a great job. It was a big group which was split into 3. 2 groups on Vespers and ours which was Vespers, Electric Fiats - automatics and the Fiat 500 manual vehicles which we drove. So much fun driving through the narrow streets on the outskirts of Florence with lots of support to keep the group together which was needed at times. All cars were equipped with walkie talkies which allowed for all to know what was going on . Lunch was very nice accompanied by a glass of wine . All in all we had such a magical day . Thanks to Chris and his team we would definitely recommend this tour .
We had an absolutely amazing experience!! Our tour guide Chris was exceptional and the other staff were extremely patient and friendly. Lunch was delicious and the wine was top tier. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence!!

This was a highlight of our time in Italy. Gorgeous scenery, a lovely tour; and a delightful day all around. Gabriel was a wonderful tour guide, warm and knowledgeable and engaging.
