A memorable experience. Thoroughly enjoyed driving a F500 round the streets of Rome. Alex was an excellent guide who speaks perfect English and is knowledgable and funny. We went off the beaten track on some tiny roads most tourists won’t see. Well worth the money

Our little pink Fiat was the star of the show everywhere we stopped. Mimo and Eduardo were great. An absolute riot. Don’t hesitate. (But make sure you are comfortable driving a manual car!)Wander223446

During a company week-end trip, we booked a tour with Rome 500 EXP to make a 17 car convoy. All the participants really enjoyed it, from driving, to exploring the city and the leader comments. Thank you very much Alvise and the team to make this activity possible for such a big amount of people!...

The tour was the highlight of our trip! Mimmo was very welcoming and showed us how to work the car. Driving was easy and not stressful and Mimmo always stayed close by. He took us to Rome’s famous sights, but also hidden gems! Mimmo’s knowledge of Rome was great and we learnt lots about the city. We stopped for a lovely slice of pizza at a local’s cafe. Mimmo gave us a walki talkie so it was easy to communicate. The fiat was a dream and Mimmo took lots of photos for us to remember the experience! Would 100% recommend booking this trip for a unique way to see Rome!!Laura_D

Stefania was our tour guide for the day. Unfortunately I did struggle at first in getting to grips with the little car but once I was going I was absolutely fine and Stefania was very patient and understanding. The tour itself was pretty good in spotting hidden gems around the city. I would recommend this tour but it is very expensive. It was my birthday so that's why it was special to me. I feel the tour was a bit rushed if I'm honest but maybe it was my fault for not being able to get going straight away.
