フィアット 500 ヴィンテージ パレルモ センター - モンレアーレ大聖堂

I was a little bit terrified to drive in downtown Palermo, but this tour ended up being the highlight of our trip! You must be proficient driving a manual transmission to drive this car. It shifts a little differently because it’s vintage, but you get a tutorial at the start. Took me a little bit to get a hang of it, but I felt much more comfortable driving it toward the second half of the tour, and would do it again in a heartbeat! It was amazing zipping up the mountainside to Monreale, and equally amazing driving through the narrow streets and markets of Palermo, where most other cars can’t go. Everywhere we went people were taking pictures of the cars- you’re a local celebrity for a few hours. You can tell Salvo what sites you want to see and he’ll customize the tour. We had the green car and we followed Salvo and Rose in the yellow car. Rose was our tour guide and, with a walkie talkie, she explained all the sites we drove past, and took us into Cathedral Monreale and Cathedral Palermo and gave great history. Salvo took some amazing photos and videos of us driving and shared them after. This was a really nice touch. I plan to frame some of them! A few tips: you have to wear closed toed shoes. I wore clunky wide sneakers and the pedals are so close together I wished I had more narrow shoes. However, I made it work. After you book on TripAdvisor, you reach out via WhatsApp to the tour guide, Salvo. Be prepared to supply lots of information (passport, photo of drivers license, a credit card for incidentals, and to sign a car rental agreement). You are renting a car for 3 hours, so it’s all the stuff you’d have to provide for an international car rental. All in all, we would love to do it again. It’s a one of a kind experience! Five stars.

Lovely experience. Very professional. Made you feel very comfortable driving. Highly recommend. Once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a vintage Fiat 500. La Dolce Vita!!!

We had the most amazing experience driving around Palermo in the vintage Fiat 500s. Salvo was a fantastic tour guide - picked us up, gave us a quick run down of how to drive the car, showed us all the sights, took lots of pictures and videos of us driving, surprised us with some classic Sicilian pastries when we stopped off at the Cathedral and provided us with water. After touring the city and driving up into the mountains we drove to the airfield where we were taken up in a small single engine plane to see Palermo from the skies - what better way to take in how beautiful this city it?! The pilot was fantastic and pointed out all the different sights. Honestly I could not recommend this tour enough, driving through the streets and alleyways was such a thrill. Salvo also offers pick-ups and drop-offs from the airport or to other cities around Sicily.
