    After trying to get to Italy over the last 4years, we finally leave next week. My dealer had set up the tour and we got the confirmation letter, so we are all set. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! We are driving up from Florence the day before, and staying over after the tour. Let me know what you liked and did not like ;-)

    ThanksBob

    Found this jewel several years ago... went with a small group last month.

    Off the beaten path, but minutes from the factory

    Try it if you have a free night:

    Lamborghini in Sant Agata is only about a half hour to 40 minutes away. Although they require pre-booking a few days in advance I never received a call back confirming so on the morning I had requested I just showed up there with my cousin explained the situation and we got in no problem. Not sure if speaking the language helped the situation. As for eating I highly doubt you will find any restaurant not to your liking. Everywhere I ate in Italy was fantastic and I have grown up spoiled on my mom's home Italian cooking.

    Take the factory tour 1st, then you get free admission to the museum and discount in the Ferrari store. You can drive or take the shuttle 12 kilometers to Modena to visit Enzo Ferrari's boy hood home, and another very good Ferrari museum. The Maserati factory is in Modena. And visit with the shuttle the grand Italian opera singer Parvarotti's home also.

    I do admit I love the Lambo folks. Very welcoming and their staff always a contradistinction from their cars flamaboyancy. Enjoy both of them! Btw if not already mentioned, visit Enzo's house too...I liked it even better then factory tour!

    The hotel Planet is right there. I just stayed at Maranello palace and it was good. Not as close. Wonder around by the dog park and see all the old miles just beyond the fence.

    Pizzeria buffala. Nuff said.

    Last do the cheap tour. It’s just a bus but it recaps on the bus for like 10 euro and you see things you missed on the owners tour with your jaw on the floor. Book through the museum in advance.

    You get a ticket to the museum but get it stamped for re entry before you leave the museum. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Rent a Ferrari virtually anywhere there if you want to try something in Maranello. Fun.
