This activity will end right where it started.
Fiat 500s were first introduced in Italy in the 1950s and quickly won the hearts of Italians for their stylish looks and affordable prices. Nowadays, vintage models are harder to come by, but you’ll have the rare chance to ride a 1960s model on your tour.

Join up with your guide in central Florence and head to the garage where your retro car will be waiting for you. A safety overview will be provided as well as a test run with car’s manual gears to ensure you’re comfortable before hitting the road.

Then, you're off! Your guide will keep in constant radio contact ahead as you follow through the city streets and up into the hills of Tuscany. Stop to see the beautiful Romanesque design of the Church of San Miniato al Monte, noted by many as the country’s most beautiful church, and soak up the surrounding views of Florence below.

Hop back in your Fiat and journey deeper into Tuscany, pausing for photos and passing through charming hillside towns. Your guide will lead the way to a private terrace, where you and your group will enjoy a traditional Tuscan meal, complete with regional specialties such as crostini and cured salami. After your stomach and taste buds have been sated, you will drive back to your original departure point in Florence.

Traveler Tips

  • "That's maybe something worth considering changing, I think some roads were not that suitable for scooters and to split up cars and scooters, with each group having a guide of their own, may also be a bit safer." See review
  • "The tour guide is very friendly, he speak Spanish, English and German very well, very recommended." See review
  • "These are cars from the 60s and 70s, you need to know how to use a clutch." See review

A Must Do Experience

The Fiat Tour was our favorite part of our entire trip! Gio led a perfect tour for us and was very helpful. We loved the drive through the countryside and were able to stop at several places to learn about Tuscany. Our lunch was phenomenal with the most amazing views of Florence and the Tuscan countryside. This is a must do experience!

Such a FUN experience! I highly recommend, but keep in mind these cars are vintage! Experience driving a manual transmission with no power steering is mandatory. We had such an amazing time l seeing the sights and driving. Our guides were very friendly and super knowledgeable. We also accidentally left our GoPro in the car and they were. Ice enough to find it and work with me to ship it back to the US. Great tour company - Five stars!

Stefano and Christian made the whole experience memorable. We were a family of five and they put us in a Giarddinetta so that we could all fit in. The lunch was amazing and the servings were huge. I will definitely book them again

Fun 500!

Best experience we had in Florence! Thoroughly enjoyed our tour in the little Fiat. Including a coach journey to the garage and back and some tuition, the tour lasted around 5 and a half hours. Visiting some beauty spots along the way to the destination for lunch. The staff were super friendly and passionate about the vehicles. Lunch was basic but nice and included a glass of local wine. Driving the car is challenging but rewarding, which for me was the best part of the experience. If you only usually drive auto then maybe the Vespa would be a better choice. Make sure to take some bottled water as there isn’t much chance to get refreshments for a few hours and it was 34deg C on our day, the cars obviously don’t have AC being so old! Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone as a must when visiting the city. Although there are a lot of steps to climb and a few short walks involved, also getting in and out of the car, so not suitable for anyone who has difficulty walking.

Disappointed
Manuel_R
, Jun 2022
Cars are well kept and a joy to drive. Tour sites were beautiful, however the way the tour is structured is a huge disappointment. Cars drive behind scooters, which in turn means you will be driving behind the less experienced and most dangerous bike driver. For the price paid cars and scooters should have different tours.

Absolutely wonderful. Christian was an incredible Guide and showed a real passion for what he does. The car was in immaculate condition and you really get to drive it round the roads of Tuscany. The tour was a great length, you get fed and meet some monks. What more could you ask for. Well the views. Awesome

This was a highlight of our trip to Florence! Don’t hesitate to sign up! It was such a joy to ride in these fun cars, see the country side and have lunch at a gorgeous farm. Chris was a fantastic, knowledgeable, welcoming host. He shared some beautiful points of interest that brought the country alive. Also the man who takes care of the Fiat’s and Vespas, takes such pride in his work it was a pleasure to see. It was a wonderful day! Thank you!

Great Experience Driving Around Tuscany
Susana_P
, May 2022
My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon and it was so much fun! Very cool to see all the classic fiats and vespas. You’re given a quick rundown of how to drive the fiat and then you’re off an a tour around Tuscany. First stop was a beautiful vineyard to take some photos and learn a little about the region. Second stop was another great viewpoint. Third stop was the highest point where you can see all of Florence from and you have the opportunity to walk through a cathedral and explore for a bit. Last stop was a gorgeous estate where we had some lunch and wine before heading back to the garage. This was a fantastic tour and definitely something different and fun to try! Chris was a great tour guide with lots of information and tons of enthusiasm about the cars. Would 100% recommend this tour.

My wife and I had a great time on the tour and driving the Fiat 500 was a blast. Chris was an awesome tour guide and really made the day enjoyable with his knowledge and enthusiasm for Florence, Tuscany, and the old Fiats. The food and wine we were served was delicious and the sights were incredible. This is probably the best tour we took while in Italy and we've taken several.

It was great! Alex was a fantastic tourleader. A lot of fun, had a lot of interesting stories to tell and was very patient, when one was making silly mistakes, like trying to start the beautiful little fiat without turning the key first and things like that. We had the best time!! If we ever come back to Firenze (we will, its an amazing city) we will definitely book with Walkabout again. Thank you!

I highly recommend this tour! It was a wonderful way to gain both historical and geographical context for Florence while having a unique experience driving a vintage car! It's a simplified manual transmission, so the driving isn't too difficult. However, you do go on a few busier roads, so I would not recommend for an inexperienced driver. Our guide, Christian, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was homemade pasta which was so delicious! Again, I highly recommend!
