A Closer Look at the Tuscany Ferrari Experience

This tour allows you to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari Spider, a car renowned for its sleek design and exhilarating performance.

The Itinerary

The day is finely balanced to combine driving, sightseeing, and tasting. Here’s what you can expect:

First Stop: San Gimignano
This medieval town, famous for its 14 towers, is like stepping into a fairytale. Built by patrician families to showcase their wealth, San Gimignano’s skyline is a striking silhouette on the Tuscan horizon. The narrow streets are lined with artisan shops and art galleries, and the town’s history as a pilgrim relay point adds to its charm.
We loved the way the tour guides highlight the feudal atmosphere and point out key sights, but what truly sticks is the chance to sample the world’s best ice cream—a claim that locals and visitors alike swear by. It’s a sweet break and a memorable tasting experience.

Second Stop: Siena
Famous for the Palio horse race, Siena’s cathedral, Piazza del Campo, and tall Torre del Mangia make it a highlight. Here, you’ll enjoy a lunch facing the high tower—an opportunity to relax and soak in the medieval scenery.
Post-lunch, your guide will lead a short sightseeing tour, sharing stories about Siena’s art, history, and traditions, making the visit both enjoyable and educational. Many reviewers emphasize Siena’s stunning architecture and its authentic atmosphere that remains unspoiled by tourism.

Third Stop: Greve in Chianti
This small town is known for its famous triangular square that hosts markets every Saturday and a renowned antique fair on Easter Monday. It’s a quick stop for a coffe or cappuccino, but it’s enough to taste the village’s lively, friendly ambiance.

Final Stop: Castellina in Chianti
Set atop a hill, this charming village offers spectacular views of vineyards and groves, perfect for a wine tasting at Squarcialupi shop. Sampling a Chianti Classico here is a must, and many travelers mention how the scenery and wine make this stop memorable. The town’s low stone houses and historic wine estates contribute to the authentic Tuscan feel.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The tour provides a Ferrari for 8 hours, a tour director, insurance, and lunch, making it a comprehensive package. You’ll also benefit from parking fees, the radio communication system, and wine tasting at Castellina.

However, the gas for the Ferrari isn’t included, nor are additional alcoholic beverages beyond the wine tasting, so those interested in a full bar experience should plan accordingly.

Authenticity, Value, and the Experience

Many reviewers praise the attention to detail and professional guidance. One recent traveler called it an “extraordinario” experience and appreciated that everything was ready upon arrival—a key factor when dealing with high-end rentals and luxury experiences. The scenic drives on the famous “1000 miles” road offer some of the most beautiful curves in Europe, perfect for enjoying your Ferrari’s handling.

The wine tasting and culinary stops add depth to the day, giving you more than just a fast ride—they provide an authentic taste of Tuscany. The blend of luxury, scenery, and local flavor makes this tour stand out, especially if you’ve ever dreamed of holding the wheel of a Ferrari in Italy.
