Try a car tour on a Tuscany holiday

EADT 25 has profiled a service in Florence that offers tourists the chance to see the sights of the famous city in a stylish vehicle.

Holiday makers opting to see the city with the 500 Touring Club can travel in one of six Fiat 500s, the publication reveals.

The tour will be accompanied with a verbal guide in either Italian or English, provided by the company's owner, Sophie Bye.

Ms Bye enjoyed Tuscany holidays so much she moved to Florence to set up her own business - and she remembers to look at the city with fresh eyes as well as business sense.

"I had my first day off for two months last Monday, so we took the mountain bikes out and did a 40km ride round the Tuscan hills. We're always exploring new restaurants and out of the way little villages and stuff," she told the publication.

A recent article in the Telegraph suggested that a Tuscany villa may be a good option for tourists looking to escape the sticky city heat.
