Itinerary
Florence Fades in the Rear-View Mirror
From city streets to cypress-lined avenues, ancient churches, hilltop vineyards and a long panoramic lunch — the Tuscan countryside at its most cinematic.
A Piece of Italian HistoryIf you’re looking for a private Fiat 500 tour, Florence is the ideal place from which to depart. You’ll meet your friendly guide at your accommodation and you'll reach our garage in the outskirts Florence where your gorgeous restored vintage car will be waiting for you. Here your guide will take you through the basics of how to handle this wonderful 1960s vehicle and then you’ll be on your way.
Top Tip: Make sure you remember to bring your driver’s licence!
Leaving the CityYour guide will lead you through the streets of Florence and you’ll start to enjoy the wonderful experience of driving these cars. There’s no need to be nervous as you’ll be in constant radio contact. As you settle into your private Fiat 500 tour, Florence disappears in your rear vision mirror as you pass along a beautiful cypress-lined avenue and climb to a vantage point high above the city to take in the spectacular views.
Memorable Photo OpportunitiesThe first stop is to visit one of the oldest churches in the city, where you’ll be able to take some photos of yourself and the car against the stunning backdrop, as well as pop inside for a quick look. Then it’s back in the car as you head for the picturesque hills, passing historic villas, groves of olive trees and along narrow stone-walled lanes. You’ll be able to stop at numerous places along the way to take photos - and you will definitely want to capture as much as you can on this highly enjoyable private Fiat 500 tour. Florence will become a distant memory as you go deeper and deeper into the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
Time for Lunch Like a LocalWhen it’s time to stop for lunch you’ll enjoy delicious ham, cheeses and local wine on a private terrace as you soak up the views over rolling hills dotted with castles, vineyards and villas.
Top Tip: There’s more driving to be done, so stick to one glass of wine!
Home AgainAfter more relaxed driving and plenty more stops to take photos, you’ll make your way along the most scenic route back to the city’s riverside, turning heads wherever you go in your fabulous vintage car.
