What people are saying about Modena

The driver and car were wonderful. The driver was friendly, on-time, and knew where he was going. Having your own personal driver bringing you to each of the 3 locations and back to our hotel made the trip very convenient. The museum tours at Maranello and Modena + the factory tour were everything you could want as a Ferrari enthusiast. They handled the tickets so it made getting into the museums very easy. They also take you to a vineyard restaurant for lunch. The food and wine was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this tour. Regardless of whether you are a car enthusiast or not, the trip is well worth it.

Excellent tour. It was a private tour, and we could move along at our own pace. Bel was our driver and guide. Extremely helpful, very knowledgable. Take a private tour if you can. It is worth every cent we paid for. So much so that we cancelled one of those big group tours, and had Bel again to bring us to Cinque Terre. Once again, she did not fail us. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

If you seek the embrace of humanity while traveling, Luisa and Ilaria offer that warm hug of food, friendship and cultural understanding. Luisa’s self-proclaimed, ‘simple meal,’ was delightful, tasty and plentiful. Ilaria’s lively conversation was fun and thought provoking. We enjoyed each others’ company fully.

It was one of the most amazing time we had in Italy! Food was awesome of course but the ladies were just fantastic! We loved hanging out with these ladies and didn't want to leave . If you are in Modena you need this class!

Excellent driver and tour guide (Paolo). We really enjoyed all parts of the tour. Great assistance from Paolo all the time. Nothing to complain about. Highly recommended.
