    Superb Experience!

    Superb! Our guide (Camilla) was wonderful. Expert, friendly, patient with our requests for departures (e.g,, to take a Ferrari drive or to have lunch at Ferrari Cavallino). She knows the area, knows her cars and motorcycles, and had a beautiful way of working with each of the museum and factory officials to ensure that we got what we had signed up for - and we did. Our driver (Giorgio) was an excellent navigator and always at our service. I’d give the whole experience six stars if I could. It was also very easy to work with their tour company (Kiss From Italy) - meticulous planning and frequent, easy communications all along the way.

    Motor Valley Tour - Highlight of our Tuscan Vacation

    As a car enthusiast and father of three similarly enthusiastic sons, I was looking for a "capstone" experience for the last full day of our week in Italy. With the beauty and tranquility of Tuscany behind us, we turned our attention to a "once in a lifetime" experience with Kiss From Italy -- the Motor Valley Tour from Bologna. The company provided a comfortable late model van and highly capable driver along with our guide. The visits to Pagani, Ferrari and Lamborghini provided ample time at each -- and each had their own special character. Pagani was like visiting artisans - and the museum was small and yet well done. The Ferrari experience was more "mass produced" - with a wonderful museum, but of course no factory tour. Lamborghini was absolutely exceptional. Visitors are given a highly informative tour and are allowed very close to the production assembly line. Our guide took care of all of the details and shepherded us through the visits, kept us on schedule, and provided insightful commentary on the region and the factories specifically. In all, an excellent day and great value for money. Highly worthwhile and I would recommend Kiss from Italy without hesitation.

    Really good trip!

    Ricciardo (Ricci) was our tour guide. He picked me up in his large minivan from my accommodation and then we went to pick the others up. There were about 7-8 people on the tour on total. Ricci was a really good guide - he is funny, chatty and very knowledgable about the cars and the local area. The tour itself is a must for any car fan - we started at Lamborghini, then went to Pagani before going to a restaurant for some traditional Italian food (which Ricci explained what it all was and how it was made) before going to Maranello to visit Ferrari. The tour started at 08:30 and we were back in Bologna for around 17:30. Ricci speaks perfect English and takes an interest in everyone on the tour. He always asks if everyone is OK, and chats to us about our interests and hobbies (mainly football) back home. If there was any questions we had, he knew the answers straight away. I’ve been on tours before where he driver just drives and then drops you off, and isn’t interested in people. Ricci knows all the secret locations and points things out while on the road. The Lamborghini factory is medium sized. We had 45 mins inside which is easily enough time to see the cars and get photos then visit the shop. Pagani’s is a lot smaller, but the cars are nicer. The factory section does not allow cameras or phones, so you must put these in a locker. The tour of the building comes with a tour guide, which the other 2 don’t. In Maranello, the site is huge. The museum itself is over several floors and has lots of cars on display. The shop is expensive though, as you are paying for the Ferrari brand, so expect caps to be €45 and shirts even more expensive. Ricci also shows you a small business just outside that allows you to pay €100+ to drive a Ferrari of choice on the public roads if you wish to do so. After the tour, Ricci had one more surprise - he took us to Fiorano (the legendary test track of Ferrari). We saw the track from the distance, but he showed us the secret viewing point where car journalists and photographers go to photograph the new cars being tested. There were no cars on the track at the time, but it was still an amazing site. Even the drive back was fun. The roads around Modena are where Lamborghini test their new cars until they have done 100km, so you always see ones driving around, some in camouflage because they’re exclusively new and not on sale yet! It’s really exciting! The tour is expensive but you will enjoy it.

    Drive of a Lifetime!

    Kiss From Italy, Cori, was fantastic to work with! We took the Motor Valley Tour and Cori flawless arranged our day and altered the itinerary so it worked for my family. The surprise for my husband was the opportunity to drive a Lamborghini during the tour for his 50th birthday gift. We ran into a glitch as he didn't have drivers license with him. Our guide Camile worked magic to get a photo of his license so he was able to drive. I don't know of many other guides who would have went through what she did to help. Our driver Simone was fantastic and most punctual. Overall the tour was wonderful. We toured Lamborghini and Ferrari museums, walked through Modena, ate a fabulous lunch at La Quercia di Rosa & learned how balsamic was made while we were there, and the day was completed with the Lamborghini drive. Thank you Kiss From Italy for making our last day of vacation a most memorable one!

    Motor Valley Tour from Bologna: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Motor Valley Tour from Bologna cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bologna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Motor Valley Tour from Bologna take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Bologna is not rushed.

    Is Motor Valley Tour from Bologna worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Motor Valley Tour from Bologna?

    +

    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 Motor Valley Tour from Bologna suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Motor Valley Tour from Bologna?

    +

    Around 2 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 Bologna 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 Bologna and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Motor Valley Tour from Bologna 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 Bologna 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 Bologna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bologna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato, Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days, Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience. 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 Bologna?

    +

    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 Bologna?

    +

    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 Motor Valley Tour from Bologna?

    +

    Included: Ferrari test drive (optional at additional price); Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; and Three museums. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Motor Valley Tour from Bologna include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 67 listed pickup locations in and around Bologna. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Motor Valley Tour from Bologna offered in?

    +
