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).

Table of Contents

FIAT 500 DRIVING TOUR TUSCANY

Let’s start this guide with the essentials about this driving tour in Tuscany, such as what documents are required, if it’s worth taking, my personal review, and more.

WHAT IS A DRIVING TOUR TUSCANY?

This particular driving tour is a trip around the Chianti region in a Fiat 500 that takes you around the rolling hills in the Italian countryside.

What better way to discover it than driving a Fiat 500? With its small size and nimble handling, you can easily navigate the winding roads and narrow streets of Tuscany.

And the best part? You’ll be driving a piece of Italian history, making your journey even more special.

DO I NEED TO DRIVE THE FIAT 500?

No, not necessarily, and in case you don’t meet the requirements or simply don’t want to drive, a tour guide will drive you around while you enjoy the landscape.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO DRIVE?

In order to drive the Fiat 500, you will need your driver’s license (must be valid to drive in Italy), a credit card, and you must be at least 18 years old and able to drive a vehicle.

Also, upon registration, the agency will pre-authorize a deposit for the guarantee and once the tour ends, this pre-authorization will be lifted.

The best experience / Something unique...

Vintage is our passion, the Fiat 500 represents us! To share our obsession with as many people as possible, we offer the opportunity to drive one of the quintessential Italian-style icons? Driving a vintage car means rediscovering sensations from the past. With Drive The Vintage, you will enjoy the simplicity of a timeless experience.

– since 01 october 2018 –

The classic vintage

Thanks to its unmistakable style, Fiat 500 is the protagonist of our company. Hardly any other car has become more iconic as the Cinquecento: it is an undeniable symbol of Italy. It represents the Italian style, the dolce vita, the “daughter” of the economic miracle and, despite its age, its charm remains the same. With Drivethevintage, you can rent this classic Italian city car that will drive you to the discovery of the Tuscan landscapes, surrounded by the Lucca countryside. Our car fleet composed of vintage Fiat 500s, totally restored and maintained with attention to the smallest detail, is available for rent.

Drive into the 60s to have a timeless experience that blends the classic italian style with the typical beauty that  only the Tuscan countryside can offer. Get on board our vintage fiat 500 cars.

Live an exclusive experience with Drive the vintage,  rent one of our vintage Fiat 500s, travel back in time for a daym (or more days) and discover the thrill of driving an extraordinary model.

Imagine your wedding, create your 60’s space, enjoy an original photo shooting with Drive the Vintage style. Get on board, our 500 cars are waiting for you! Discover our services.

We had a small group tour with Luca in the vintage Fiats. The tour was amazing, driving all the small country roads, seeing the beautiful views, and having a delicious lunch in an adorable town on the hill. Luca has such an infectious passion for vintage cars and bikes and we are so glad we had a chance to do this tour while in Lucca. Very cool to drive a vintage classic!

We had the most wonderful experience with Luca and Drive the Vintage! We only had a short time in Tuscany and I really wanted to see the countryside. I found Drive the Vintage as I was looking for driving tour options. Luca offers guided drives, but he also rents out his Fiat 500’s, and that’s what we decided to do! Communication via email was smooth, and when we showed up, our beautiful red Fiat was ready and waiting! Luca sent us a route to follow that took us on back roads to MonteCarlo. It was one of the most perfect drives and villages to visit. He also had lunch recommendations which was appreciated, and offered to drive us to the train station after we finished our drive! The entire experience is one not to miss! Only thing to note is the cars are manual, so someone in your group needs to have the know-how to drive a manual car. Thankfully my friend did, and we didn’t have to miss out on this experience! Thank you Luca! We hope to come back again someday!

We love FIAT 500! Actually, Who doesn’t? Italy is already a beautiful country but drinving such an icon is like jumping on a time machine and have a completely new way of admiring the stunning views and landscapes of Tuscany. I would like to underline that this experience wouldn’t be the same without Luca (the owner of Drive the Vintage), we have been working with him since already years and I have to say that he really make the difference! The way he cares about his customers, the way he presents the cars, the way he guides you during the tour is something unique, you can really feel the passion and energy he puts in his work. So if you are looking for something fresh, something full of culture, energy and fun, ask Luca…he will take care of the rest. Enjoy!

Consigliato per l’idea, ma soprattutto per quello che realmente offre oltre all’auto a noleggio. Tour organizzati nel dettaglio a bordo di 500 d’epoca. Per tour fra amici fra le Colline lucchesi e non solo.. e poi cibo, vino e tanto altro. Idea geniale in posti straordinari!!!

Last Year my wife Antonella Nichinonni and I had a wonderful day out with Luca enjoying the wonderful countryside of Tuscany in the company of Luca at Drive the Vintage.

The whole day was magical from start to finish, to drive on the quiet and specular country roads around the City of Lucca was magical, like being the stars of our own romantic movie!

The Fiat Bambino’s are so pretty, taking us back in time. We were given a short briefing about how to operate the car and equip ped with a two way radio we set off with Luca leading in his Bambino to form a gorgeous little convoy, we found the car easy to operate with a Luca leading us carefully around his local backroads.

We stopped mid morning for a beautiful a Cafe and Cornetto at a spectacular little village Bar before continuing our itinerary taking in historical landmarks, a fantastic lunch with a glass of wine before travelling home via an ancient Roman road.

It was quite simply the highlight of our time in Italy, Luca is a wonderful host and an experience not to be missed if you are visiting Lucca in Tuscany.

Un’esperienza veramente fantastica a bordo di un’icona dell’Italia!  ???????? Abbiamo trascorso una giornata a bordo della flotta di Fiat500 che, grazie a Luca e al suo team, si è svolta all’insegna del divertimento, della cultura e soprattutto delle sicurezza!

Ogni auto ha una radiolina per comunicare con gli altri membri, Luca dà istruzioni e informazioni e, se ci fossero problemi (fortunatamente non è stato il nostro caso) può aiutare a risolverli.

Un’esperienza consigliatissima e sicuramente da rifare!  ????

Ci siamo davvero  divertiti , e è stata una vera emozione poter guidare una 500 d’epoca! Sicuramente lo consiglio vivamente!!!

GUESTS INFO

Our  self-drive tour  on themed itinerary will show you unveiled Sicily and its secrets. You will drive one of our classic and convertible   Fiat 500  following our tour leader car that will be driven by our staff. A fun and professional fully licensed  English-speaking tour guide  will lead you through this fascinating trip.

Don’t forget to bring your  driver’s license  with you. To drive in Italy you need an  EU driving licence , or an  International Driving Permit , which is a translation of your non EU licence. All drivers must be able to drive using a  manual clutch / trasmission  (stick shift gears). Occasional driving experience with manual cars is not enough to handle our vintage cars.

Infant  under 3 years  of age are  not admitted  to the car tour.  Children 3-12 years old  in the same car of parents  are free.

Our Godfather tour  usually starts every Tuesday and Friday in the  morning  (9.30am) from October to June and in the  afternoon  (3.30pm) from July to September.

Usually this themed tour  “in the Godfather’s footsteps”  lasts about  4 hour . If you are a group and you have more time to spend we can arrange a customized  full day tour  according to your needs.

The most important  Sicilian scenes of the Godfather trilogy were filmed in  Savoca ,  Forza d’Agrò  and in  Fiumefreddo di Sicilia  but not in Corleone (as many believe). Corleone , near Palermo in Sicily, was too modern and developed even in the early 70s to be used for filming a story dated back to the early 1950s.

If you are a fanatic of the film you may be also interested to visit the  Castello degli Schiavi  in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia( also known as the  Godfather Villa  ). Here was shot one of the most famous scenes in the first  Godfather film , when Apollonia was murdered by a car bomb explosion.
