“This is a relaxed, scenic way to explore the countryside and small towns around Florence, best suited for travelers who enjoy a leisurely pace. The group travels at the speed of the slowest driver, which makes it comfortable for beginners, and the vintage Fiat cars are genuinely fun to drive. We booked the Fiat tour but were paired with a group riding Vespas, which worked fine. We were a group of four, with two taller drivers (6’ and 6’4”), and we were able to fit comfortably in the Fiats with one adult passenger per car. The experience felt well organized and well supported: Ado was a charming, knowledgeable guide, Alex…”
