Great day touring Tuscany region in a Fiat! The Fiat did take some getting used to driving. We were the only car, the rest were Vespas. The winery stop was nice. They gave you a full meal.
Fiat fun in the sun.

Brush up on your manual driving skills and you'll be good to go. If you have driven a volkswagen beetle, pretty much the italian version. Beautiful country side. Great tour guide. Great host at the winery. Learned a lot of history of tuscany and the wine.
Must do!!!!

Of course, 1960s Fiat makes for an interesting challenge…and yes you can smell gas, but we LOVED this experience! The guide and other guests were so much fun. We bonded over laughs and poking fun at some lackluster driving moments, but this made for an experience we’ll never forget! The scenery, towns and wineries were outstanding. If we had a free day, we’d come back for the Vespa tour!

To be fair, the description says you will be accompanied by an "escort", not a guide. However, our escort said as little as he could possibly get away with. We didn't know what town we were in unless we specifically asked him. He even seemed reluctant to guide us with hand gestures in and out of parking situations. So you have a working a car, and some stops in some cool towns, but nothing like every other "tour" I've booked in various places around the world, during which you are made to feel really welcome and usually have some quality interactions with the guide. It is what it is, but I don't think it deserves a high rating, just on this basis. As long as you know what you are getting, fine. If it were only that, I would give it another star, but we paid for the pickup/drop-off, over 100 Euros for two 20 minute rides, and they simply abandoned us at their warehouse (at least in our perception--I really can't say if anything was happening in the background). Things happen, I know, but when we got back to the warehouse with our cars and scooters, the leader/representative (or whatever he was) never said a word to us--turned his back and started toward his personal car. I chased him down and asked about my return ride and he said just wait here 5-10 minutes (in about 4 words). Then he left. It seemed kind of obvious to me that no one knew we were there waiting (all other guests seemed to have their own transportation and were gone) and after a half hour we were getting pretty anxious--we were alone at a warehouse in a little dingy office with really not much of an idea of where we were or how to find a taxi. I had trouble getting the tour operator's phone number to work--I think there is a typo at one location in the operator info--but finally got in touch with them and the lady got someone there in about 10 minutes to take us back. So it worked out in the end after waiting 45 minutes or so. I disputed the transfer charge with Viator (at Viator's suggestion) and was denied, the operator saying that it was a traffic issue, out of their control. Again, things happen, but the fact that we were just left there with really no idea what was going on, along with the nearly total lack of communication even during the tour, adds up to something I wouldn't do again. Re the cars, they are what you would expect. A little oil smell, a grabby clutch, no turn signals, no seat belts, etc. All part of the fun and it always started. However, even if you have driven manual transmissions, this one takes a little time to get used to. I wouldn't want to learn on it, but I enjoyed it. Also, realize that the pickup/drop-off is not to your hotel, but to a location in Siena that was about a 20 minute walk for us. The Fiat ride itself starts and ends in Badesse, a town near Siena.

The countryside was absolutely gorgeous, we enjoyed the hill towns, winery tour and the light lunch. We’ll love telling stories about the drive in the vintage Fiat, but frankly we were worried it would break down so many times. Fortunately, my friend who drove the car was familiar with this model- otherwise, it would have been a disaster. The others in our group were on Vespas, and I think they enjoyed the comic relief we provided in the Fiat. I wish our tour leader would have joined us and engaged at the stops we made. It was such a unique experience/ very hard to give an overall rating. In the end, we were really happy we did it.

Please do yourself a favour and stay away. We booked a day, arrived (after taking 25min taxi) to warehouse in car park, waiting 1.30hr with other people to be told it is cancelled and then had to get taxi back
what a waste of our precious time in Tuscany

We pre paid, went to location outside Siena which cost €20 in taxi, waited for 1 hour with no representative in sight before being told it was cancelled. No offer to arrange taxi or costs back To Sinena.. a total disappointment and waste of time especially when on a short break in Tuscany.
Carefree exploring in Chianti!

We had the best time ever! Matilda was so knowledgeable and great fun. Francis was amazing and giving me the confidence i needed. I hadnt driven a manuel for many years, but it all came back to me. The winery was lovely. Francis and Matilda even drove my daughter and i home as it was on his way. So very kind. I would highly recommend this tour!!!
