    Great experience but a little troublesome getting there.

    If you’re traveling from the cruise ship, be prepared to go on a shuttle to Livorno cruise drop off. Walk to the HM store to catch the bus to the train station. Take the 1 hr 20 min train to Florence SMNovella station, take a taxi to the 500 touring club. It was a lot and for novice travelers of a group of 8, we were over an hour late to the meeting point at 11:30. Give yourself plenty of time. Ship docked at 7am and we got off at 8:30. We were still an hour late due to travel confusion. Book a private taxi. Message Isabella and she will give you a contact. He quoted 600 euros. It’s alot but so is the aggravation of public transit. The cars are super cute and the scenery was beautiful.

    Authentic driving experience

    Driving around a small part of Tuscany for 2hrs in these original Fiat 500 was beautiful. So old school and such a great way to experience the beauty of the Chianti region. Bella our guide was very attentive and also great at explaining how to drive the car. Her knowledge of the area and wines we tried were also fantastic. We were taken back to a small family winery for a beautiful home cooked meal and wine tasting. This tour was a highlight for our trip. Thank you.

    Absolutely Recommend.

    We had an absolutely marvelous experience. Bella and Hector were wonderful guides. The cars were as fun as promised. The scenery absolutely beautiful. Lunch, including the wine, was delicious. Wonderful opportunity to get out of busy Florence and have fun.

    A fun and authentic experience!

    what a fantastic experience. Bella is one of the coolest guides you could possibly meet and the whole experience feels like a deeply authentic side of the Florence experience that would hard to find anywhere else. The Fiats are old and charming and fun, and the lunch and wine afterwards were delicious and the conversation with Bella very enlightening. She's 1/2 American and 1/2 Italian so her perspectives are so insightful. We would highly recommend this tour!

    Perfect way to experience the Tuscan countryside

    We did this tour during a day when we were in the Livorno port on a cruise. My husband is a car nut and i knew he would love being able to drive a Fiat through the countryside. Many tours were available with other companies where they drove you around, this was the only one where you were allowed to drive yourself (which was the only way we were interested in). We got to the meeting place at our scheduled time and were greeted by Bella, the lovely girl who runs the tours. She was raised in a bilingual household so is absolutely fluent in English, which made communication as easy as could be. She gave us a run down on the cars and let us choose the one we wanted. She and the other tour guide then drove in the lead car while we followed behind. It was very easy to keep up with the lead car, they were cautious and made sure to drive at a slow pace for us. The views were unbelievable. Honestly if there’s anything constructive i could say about the tour, i wish there were more opportunities to stop for photos because the views were just so incredible as we drove by. Thankfully by the end of it i was pretty adept at taking pictures out the window and cropping out all the extraneous trees/houses. I was grateful that we were sharing a car so that i could be the passenger photographer while my husband drove. We did stop once for a quick lesson on growing grapes and they snapped some pics of us in the car which is a great souvenir of the day. After our wonderful driving tour, we followed the lead car to a “winery” for an Italian lunch (i put this in quotes because to me a winery has a very different vibe. This was legit a family’s house and we were sitting in their dining room while they cooked in their kitchen for us. It was WAY better than a winery) This was such a cool, authentic experience. A lady and her husband cooked us lunch and we sat around their table and chatted and drank wine for an hour. We had already loved the tour, but this was such an amazing cap to a perfect day. I really couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Bella was so fun to spend the day with, the cars were great, the countryside was breathtaking, the lunch was stupendous. We did several tours during our trip through Europe and this was my husband’s favorite.

    Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Florence is not rushed.

    Is Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting?

    +

    Around 21 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour: Gourmet Lunch and Wine Tasting 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 Florence 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 Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?

    +

    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 Florence?

    +

    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.
