Fiat 500 tours

Italy

Tuscany for real – behind the wheel of a classic Fiat 500

Tuscany as it is best experienced – in an original Fiat 500

A social and atmospheric way to experience Tuscany

Do you dream of a truly special journey through Tuscany's rolling hills and historic villages?
Get behind the wheel of a classic Fiat 500 and experience the perfect combination of freedom, adventure, and Italian charm.

This trip is not about speed and fast cars, but about pure driving pleasure, small moments, and the nostalgia that comes with an iconic Fiat 500. With the wind in your hair and the sound of the engine's soft hum, you wind your way through vineyards, medieval towns, and beautiful landscapes – just how Tuscany should be experienced.

Quick facts about the trip

The trip goes through classic Tuscany, in the area around Lucca and all the way down to the Versilia coast, via vineyards, hills, and charming small towns.

Leisurely pace

Over five days, you will drive on cozy country roads with little traffic, in a landscape that is constantly changing. The routes are chosen by local guides, with a desire to show you the real Tuscany. Here, it is not about distance or pace, but about everything you see, hear, and notice along the way.
The group stops when it feels right, whether it's for a Kodak moment, for lunch, or just to take in the Tuscan atmosphere in one of the many villages you visit along the way.

This is a social, atmospheric, and genuine way to experience Tuscany. The trip is perfect for those who want to visit unique medieval villages and small towns at a comfortable pace – behind the wheel of a true icon from the 1960s and 70s: the original Fiat 500. A car that is guaranteed to evoke both smiles and curious glances.

Who the trip is suitable for

The trip is conducted in small and organized groups, with a maximum of eight Fiat 500 cars on the road. A local guide is present throughout the trip, showing the way and driving his own Fiat 500. This ensures a good flow in the days ahead – he also serves as a back-up in case of any technical challenges along the way.

Each Fiat 500 has room for two participants, with the option of one extra passenger in the back seat. This makes it easy to participate whether you are traveling as a couple, with friends or alone. For many, sharing a car and experiences with new acquaintances along the way is also a nice bonus.

The cars – genuine classics on four wheels

You will drive a classic Fiat 500 from the period 1968–1972, with an engine capacity of approx. 15 hp.
The cars are small but full of soul – and perfect for the narrow, Tuscan roads.

Day 1Arrival in Tuscany and Villa Clara

Vakre Villa Clara utenfor Lucca | Expa Travel

You arrive at the classic, Tuscan Villa Clara and check in from 15:00. This is the perfect place to easily get into holiday mode – take a dip in the pool, find a shady spot in the garden, or just enjoy the silence and the rural surroundings.
Lunch is on your own (not included).

Early in the evening, the group gathers for a briefing on the Fiat 500 cars, a calm and safe introduction to the vehicle as well as the route for the coming days. The focus is on comfort, safety, and driving pleasure – so you can lower your shoulders and look forward to what lies ahead.
From tomorrow onwards, it is less about arriving quickly and more about the drive itself. These cars make it easy to slow down and enjoy the road along the way.

The evening rounds off with a relaxed aperitivo together – a fine opportunity to get to know your travel companions and get into a true Tuscan mood.

Dinner on your own (not included), the guide is happy to share tips for authentic, local trattorias in the area.

Day 2Towards the Sea: The Versilia Coast

Versillia-kysten i Toscana | Expa Travel

The group departs from the villa at 10:00, heading towards the Versilia coast. The landscape changes along the way, from hills and inland to coast and sea. The trip is on low-traffic country roads that are pleasant to drive on, and there is plenty of time to enjoy both the drive and the stops along the way.

Once arrived at the coast, there will be time for a swim for those who wish, and lunch by the sea (not included). We recommend fresh seafood! Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. Here, you can just lower your shoulders and enjoy the contrast between mountains and sea.

After lunch, the group stops in Pietrasanta, a lively small town known for its marble studios, galleries, and open squares. There is time to stroll around at your own pace, grab a coffee, or just do some people-watching before continuing the journey.

The group returns to the Lucca area around 17:00, with time for a dip in the pool and a nice drink in hand before the evening.

A varied day with driving pleasure, coastal life, and fine stops along the way.

Lunch and dinner on your own (not included).

Day 3Montecarlo

Toscana i en original Fiat 500 | Expa Travel

After breakfast, at 10:00, the groups get into the cars and drive out into the landscape surrounding Lucca. The day is spent on country roads that wind between olive groves, vineyards, and small farms, where the driving itself is part of the experience. The pace is comfortable, and it is easy to let your gaze wander and notice the details along the way.

Today's destination is Montecarlo, a small medieval village east of Lucca, known for wine production and a compact historical center within the city walls. Here we will have lunch and spend some time in the streets, with the opportunity to sit down at an outdoor café or stroll around before continuing the journey.

Return to the villa around 17:00. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure – perhaps a swim in the pool or an aperitivo in the garden, surrounded by Tuscan nature and evening sun, sounds tempting.

Day 4Garfagnana and surrounding mountains

Barga i Alpi Apuane i Toscana, Italia | Expa Travel

Today, the trip goes north, into Garfagnana, the mountainous area north of Lucca. The landscape changes along the way, with deeper valleys, steeper mountainsides, and less settlement. Here you drive in an area that is less visited than the rest of Tuscany, offering a completely different type of terrain and driving.

Along the way, we stop at the Ponte del Diavolo (The Devil's Bridge), a historical stone bridge with a characteristic shape, before continuing further into the mountains towards Barga. Barga is a small town with a compact center, known for its location – high and open, with views over the valleys of the Garfagnana area – and its active cultural life. Here there will be time for lunch on your own (not included) and some time in the streets before continuing the journey through the Tuscan landscape.

Return to Villa Clara around 18:00. The evening concludes with a joint farewell dinner at the villa (included).
