Car enthusiasts will thrill to the opportunity to ride in the quintessentially Italian vehicle -- a vintage Fiat 500 -- through the sundrenched hills of Tuscany.
Your full-day tour begins with an independent exploration of the wonders of Florence. Travel by motorcoach on a 90-minute panoramic drive to Florence, one of Italy’s most culturally significant cities and arguably the seat of the Renaissance. Here, you will enjoy three hours of sightseeing on your own and at your own pace. Take in all the key sights or simply sit at a corner café with a cappuccino (at your own expense) and watch the locals go about their day.
Ambitious walkers will have time to see some historic sights -- the cathedral, the Piazza Della Signoria, the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge, and Piazza Santa Croce -- final resting place of Galileo, Machiavelli and Michelangelo.
At the designated time, hop into a vintage Fiat 500 and celebrate la dolce vita. You’ll set off caravan-style as your driver maneuvers along hidden roads lined with medieval castles, olive groves and vineyards. This is a two-hour drive through the Etruscan countryside in true Italian style.
Your return to Florence via an alternative route provides an equally entertaining journey filled with new sights and pleasant panoramas.
Pause for refreshments with magical views of Florence and the surrounding Arno Valley. Enjoy a frosty gelato while taking in the vistas and photographing the bronze replica of Michelangelo’s David.
Rejoin your motorcoach at the Arno River; then, settle back and relax on the picturesque ride back to Livorno and the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. You will not drive the Fiat; a driver is provided. If you wish to visit key attractions in Florence during your free time, you may wish to secure tickets and entrance times (at your own expense) well before the date of your visit.
