FIAT Topolino Self-Drive Chianti Wine Tour from Florence

Explore the Chianti countryside in a vintage-style, fully electric FIAT Topolino, driving yourself behind an English-speaking guide in a separate car. Enjoy the open-air feel with a support vehicle accompanying the tour; the cars have two small fans rather than traditional air conditioning.
