Fiat tour Florence: a vintage 500 escape from Renaissance streets to Tuscan hills
The fiat tour florence has a simple magic: the city slips behind you, the road climbs, and Florence appears again in wide hillside views. In our offer of experiences you can take the wheel on a self-drive route with a guide in constant contact, ride with a private driver into Chianti Classico for tastings, or turn it into a day out that pairs the Tuscan hills with San Gimignano.

Vintage Fiat 500 tour Florence, self-drive from the city to the hills
This is the hands-on pick: a quick briefing in Florence, then you drive a restored Fiat 500 in a small convoy with a two-way radio keeping you connected. It is city-adjacent at first, then the route opens into quiet hill roads and wide views.
Stops are part of the pleasure, including a tasting built around local cheese and cured meats paired with wine, with vegan options available on request. With fuel and insurance included, you can keep your attention on the road feel and the scenery.
Bring a valid license and be realistic about manual gears, because this is truly self-drive and closed-toe shoes are required. For a clean contrast the next day, a Pisa day trip from Florence trades engine noise for marble and monuments.
⚖️ Quick decision check
- You want to drive a vintage icon.
- You are comfortable with stick shift.
- You want tastings without a long tour.
Fiat 500 tour Florence to Chianti Classico: a private wine ride
This private option keeps the vintage Fiat 500 mood but removes the driving focus: you ride while your guide drives, using the hills as a moving viewpoint. A panoramic stop above Florence leads into the Chianti Classico landscape of vineyards and farm roads.
The day is tasting-led, with a farm visit and wine and olive oil tastings alongside a Tuscan appetizer. Because guests are not allowed to drive, it suits couples and anyone who wants a low-effort countryside experience.
Moreover, it pairs well with a quieter next day: a Lucca day trip from Florence shifts the pace to walls, cafés, and slow wandering.
🍷 What feels different here
- No driving pressure, more time for views.
- Private guide keeps the day simple.
Florence Fiat 500 tour to San Gimignano through the Tuscan hills
This is the postcard-day version of fiat 500 tours florence: a driver-led ride in a vintage car, a local vineyard visit, and time in San Gimignano, the hill town with a towered skyline. Transport back to Florence is handled, which keeps the day smooth.
Because the stop in town is intentionally short, arrive with a simple plan: one viewpoint, one snack, then wander. For longer formats that give San Gimignano more space, browse our San Gimignano tour from Florence options.
Check our catalog of activities for the latest availability, then choose based on whether you want the day to lean toward landscape driving or town time.
🧭 Practical tips
- Wear grippy shoes for cobblestones.
- Note dietary needs before tastings.
- Save battery for hilltop photos.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a driver's license for a self-drive Fiat 500 tour?
Yes, you need a valid driver's license for self-drive options. The Fiat 500 uses manual transmission, so you should be comfortable with stick shift. For private driver-led tours, no license is required since you ride as a passenger.
How many people fit in a vintage Fiat 500?
A classic Fiat 500 typically seats two people comfortably, with limited space for luggage. For larger groups, multiple cars travel in a convoy with two-way radio communication, keeping everyone connected throughout the route.
What is included in a Fiat 500 tour?
Most tours include the vintage Fiat 500 rental, fuel, insurance, and a tasting experience with local cheese, cured meats, and wine. Self-drive tours include radio support, while private tours include a driver-guide. Check each listing in our catalog for specific inclusions.
What is the difference between self-drive and private driver tours?
Self-drive tours let you take the wheel in a convoy with radio support, ideal if you want hands-on driving. Private driver tours remove the driving responsibility, letting you focus on scenery and tastings while your guide handles navigation and timing.
What should I bring on a Fiat 500 tour?
Bring a valid driver's license if self-driving, wear closed-toe shoes (required for driving), and pack a light layer for changing weather. A charged phone helps for photos, and comfortable clothes work best for countryside stops and tastings.
Are Fiat 500 tours suitable for beginners?
Self-drive tours require experience with manual transmission and comfort on winding hill roads. If you are new to stick shift or prefer a relaxed pace, choose a private driver-led tour where you can enjoy the vintage car experience without driving pressure.
