    We had a lovely day in Toscany with our Fiat 500! The staff was very kind and helpfull. They really took into account safety. They also gave us a map to pass by some viewpoints and a beautiful lake and afterwards gave us some recommendations to visit Lucca. Overall, a very succesfull day in our beautiful oldtimer Fiat. To be recommended!

    Fantastic afternoon in authentic Fiat 500 cars

    The views were amazing, the cars fun to drive and our host Bella was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area and culture. I would say that this is a must do for anyone traveling to Florence. This was one of the best part of our Italy trip so far.

    Response from the operator: We thank you, but I'm afraid you are talking about another company! We're based in Lucca and don't do tours in Florence. Kind regards, Alessandro

    Lifetime experience and wonderful maps provided!

    We wanted to wander today. We were looking for a rental car or Vespa when we happened to see information about “Drive The Vintage.” Oh my! This is so much more than a rental car—it is an experience to cherish. They provide an amazing route (optional with stops, but we loved it) and suggestions. Highly recommend! They also rent new Vespas. One note, to rent a Fiat 500, you must know how to drive a stick shift (well). To rent a Vespa on Italian roads, you need scooter or motorcycle experience. Italian mountain roads are not the place to learn either in a single day.

    Response from the operator: Grazie Lisa, your words are the greatest gift for us. We're so happy you enjoyed our cars and itineraries!

    Super fun tour!

    What an adventure this was! So much fun to drive an old fiat 500 through the Tuscan landscape. Along the way enjoyed a picnic among the vineyard. Recommended! Tip: make sure you have the route available offline, because we had no service in the mountains so we were hopelessly lost. Calling drivethevintage also failed.

    Response from the operator: Thanks you very much for your kind words! Sorry about the bad-connection / maps issues, unfortunately in some areas the reception is extremely poor. Glad everything worked out in the end!

    Perfect day out

    Had a fantastic time driving one of their classic Fiat 500, they even came around the corner to rescue us when we broke down and replaced the car!!! We went out to Devil’s Bridge and Torrente Lima and had a beautiful drive out. Customer service was perfect! Grazie Mille

    Response from the operator: Thank you, we're super glad you had a good experience with us!

    Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.

    How much does Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $325 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucca is not rushed.

    Is Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car?

    +

    Included: RCA insurance; Fuel; and Vintage car rental, Fiat 500. Not included: Insurance Plus. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Fiat 500 Self-Tour: Visit the Tuscan Countryside in a Vintage Car?
