Absolutely terrible experience. We rented small cars for a group of over 20 people, paid in advance, and planned part of our trip around this reservation. When the day came, they simply did not show up.
They later claimed that they had “cancelled” our reservation, but no one actually communicated the cancellation to us. No call, no message, no reasonable attempt to make sure we knew. We were left standing there with more than 20 people expecting vehicles that never arrived.
Taking someone’s money, failing to provide the service, and then claiming afterward that you cancelled without actually notifying the customer is completely unacceptable. Organizing transportation for a group this large takes significant planning, and their lack of communication left us scrambling at the last minute and seriously disrupted our plans.
This was one of the most unprofessional and unreliable experiences we have had with a business while traveling. If you are depending on this company for an important reservation—especially for a large group—I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. A reservation means nothing if the company takes your money and doesn’t show up.
We had dreams of cruising through the Italian countryside in vintage cars. Unfortunately, those dreams ended before we ever left the parking lot.
The tour operator postponed our original tour late the night before, with virtually no notice and no meaningful explanation. When we finally arrived for pickup, the reason for concern became even clearer.
After inspecting the cars, we were genuinely uncomfortable with their condition. The tires appeared poorly maintained, the brakes raised concerns, and these are already very small, underpowered vehicles being driven on real Italian roads. What is marketed as charming and adventurous quickly felt unnecessarily risky.
Maybe this was a cute concept 15 years ago, when the cars and operation were in better condition. Today, the combination of poor maintenance, questionable reliability, and last-minute cancellations makes it difficult to recommend.
Vintage is charming. Neglected is not. When you’re putting customers behind the wheel, maintenance and safety shouldn’t be optional parts of the experience.

Fun in the Tuscan sun.
Bella was a fantastic tour guide, we enjoyed spending our morning with her, learning about the cars, family and history. I have loved the little bambinos for so long, I am very glad I took the tour. Just have to convince the minister of finance that I need another car and get one home

500 fiat club - through Tuscan landscape
Very nice experience! We drove the Fiat 500 ourselves in a beautiful region. In addition, we got information about the region and drank a cappuccino on the way in a local cafe. A moment of pure enjoyment!

Trip cancelled last minute with no explanation
Very disappointed. Our trip was cancelled last minute the night before by the host. There was no explanation offered and no direct contact from the company, just a generic message from Trip Advisor. A message explaining the reason would have been appreciated.

Like driving through a Tuscan Painting and my face hurt...from laughing and smiling!
What an experience! This was the best and definitely a highlight of our week in Tuscany! I was laughing and smiling so much the whole time with my husband and two friends (we also made friends with the other couple on our tour). The cars are just adorable, and there is nothing like driving these little vehicles! So mechanical, rustic, and old school. Of course, you need to be able to drive a manual or double clutch.
We had blue Marcello and orange Oswaldo, with the excellent David as our tour guide. David shows a lot of trust in letting folks get behind the wheels of his little fleet, all affectionately named for their personalities. David's English was impeccable, fortunately for us from the US. He was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. His tutorial was thorough and it wasn't nearly as difficult to drive as I feared (my husband and I took turns).
The four course winery luncheon we drove to was hearty and lovely. I enjoy eating local food paired with the region's wine -- and thankfully Italian people are so proud to share their traditions and bounty. David answered our many questions and was very pleasant!
If you are a bougie tourist who wants a luxury experience with airbags and the latest technology, this isn't for you. If you want a little adrenaline rush from the risk, a step back into older times, and enjoy driving tiny vintage vehicles, with the top open and stunning views, wind in your hair on the way to authentic local wine pairing meal in a family owned vineyard...book now!
TIPS: Bring a hat or a scarf for your hair. The pedals are smooth metal, I recommend flat shoes with some grip instead of big heels so you don't slide off or get stuck.
(And I always say don't be a tourist trying to turn everything into an American experience, mad that your Italian breakfast didn't have Fruit Loops and lunch wasn't like Olive Garden. Be an educated traveler with an open mind and observe the local way of life and customs, and follow them. When in Rome...)

Cool driving experience but expensive for what you get.
Great experience but expensive for what you get. Driving the car was cool and tour guide (David) was an informative, awesome person who made it great day for us.
Just beware, the site says it is a Tram from Florence train station and then 20 min pleasant walk , it was not pleasant at all! You need to walk up a hill, you feel like hiking. Definitely need to take taxi. Also the classic 500 tour is just driving and then stop beside road to take picture and then return, it is not drive/walk through wine garden or something like that as we expected.

Such a unique and special way to experience the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Bella and Pietro were such lovely hosts. The car was great and simple to drive. The scenery was spectacular. Definitely the highlight of our time in Florence!

Free wheeling in the Tuscan countryside
My partner & I went on this fantastic little Fiat 500 tour of the Chanti Hills. There were four bambina's in our tour group and this made a fun group as we "sped" our way around the Tuscan countryside. Our hosts were great and ensure all the group were safe! We had a ball of a time and laughed all the way! Such a treat to blast around in these little cars! Thanks again.
