Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your tour starts in central Rome, where you’ll meet your guide and be paired with your vintage candy-colored Fiat 500, also known as a Cinquecento. Introduced in the 1950s as a fashionable, affordable mode of transport, the Fiat 500 continues to evoke thoughts of dreamy days cruising around Italy in style.

Hop behind the wheel, and listen to a quick briefing about safety and the nuances of operating the Fiat’s manual controls. Then take off in a colorful caravan, following your guide’s car along some of Rome’s quieter roads. Open the soft-top roof to enjoy the sun and fresh air as you drive down charming streets to see some of Rome's top landmarks, like Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, Arch of Constantine and the Mouth of Truth. Take breaks occasionally for photo ops and to hear interesting tidbits about the city from your guide.

In addition to recognizable attractions, venture to lesser-known sights along roads that may be inaccessible to bigger vehicles. Such gems may include the Garden of Oranges, Aventine Keyhole, Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta (Piazza of the Knights of Malta) and the lively Trastevere neighborhood. You’ll also stop for gelato or coffee (own expense) before your tour ends upon return to the starting point.

Please note: The Fiat 500 is small in comparison to most modern-day cars, so with comfort in mind, bookings are allowed for a maximum of three adults per car (or two adults and two children). If you have a bigger group, that’s okay! Up to 10 people can book at a time, and you’ll be split into separate Fiats.

Very interesting experience and our guide Georgio was great.
Liina T
, Jun 2019
I made my husband a birthday gift and our car was made the same year he was born. The tour was much better than I expected. The places we visited were interesting and some of them we had not visited before. As the traffic of Rome was not easy but our guide Georgio handled us and the traffic very safely. He is very polite and his talking about the places we visited was concrete and interesting. His English language is good.

This tour wasn't what we expected - it was 100% better! We thought we'd drive around, see the Colesseum etc etc but what this tour does is take you to all the amazing parts of Rome you probably didn't know existed! Our tour guide Giorgio was so passionate, knowledgeable and funny, he was great! He was also a super conscientious driver; there were a couple of times at the start where we stalled the car and he always pulled over a bit so we could catch up- not easy on the busy streets of Rome! We loved every second, Thanks Giorgio - Jason and Leah

Wow. We had a group of 9, took 4 cars and the lead car, so a 5 car caravan. 100% the best time we had in Italy. This is an absolute must book for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. And the guys who run this, really fun guys. Great, great time. A+++.

Very fun and unique experience in Rome. Got to see some sites and neighbourhoods that are a bit off the beaten path. Jack was a wonderful and friendly guide. The Roman traffic can definitely live up to its chaotic reputation, so you shouldn't sign up for this is you are a timid driver.

By far this was the highlight of my holiday. We had Franco as our tour guide who spoke French and English. He was very accommodating. We drove on the cobble stone roads in a 57 fiat 500. If you love cars then this is a must. Make sure to ask for Franco. I will do this again when I'm in Rome.

It's a very nice tour with super friendly tour guides who also speak great English. We booked the hidden gems of Rome tour and went to places we normally would not find if we just follow the standard tourist activities. The Fiat is actually a bit roomier on the inside than it looks as we sat pretty comfortable inside. Driving it however is pretty hard. Just take it easy!

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour, but there is a story.... We had been in Rome for 3 days before we took this tour, lots of walking an cabs. When we arrived for the self-drive tour, the guide told us that the other couples had cancelled and it was just us and him. He asked what we would like to do, drive or have him drive us. I quickly said that he could drive and I would sit I the back seat. What a relief. If you have ever seen the traffic in Rome you would understand my answer. To drive a 1957 Fiat 500 with a 1957 gearbox on hills and cobblestone in traffic so fast and tight and scooter-filled that it would make a Chicago cab driver cry, all while keeping up with another car is a very tall order. Our guide, however, was a great guy and made the tour a great success. He gave meaningful insight into the various stops along the route, and even added an unscheduled stop at Trevi Fountain. With a group of adventurous drivers, I can see where this tour would be a blast.
