Car Guy Tour – Italia —

Founded by Frank Mandarano in 1998, these exclusive hand-crafted Italian car tours kick off on the beautiful shores of Lake Como, Italy, and include visits to the world-renowned auto design studios Italdesign, Pininfarina, Zagato and others.  The 11-day tours also visit legendary Italian auto companies, such as Maserati, The Maserati Collection, Lamborghini, Borrani, Pagani, Schedoni and the Alfa Romeo Collection.  Previous tour highlights include premium tickets to the Monza Formula One Grand Prix, one complete day in Maranello visiting all that is Ferrari:  the Ferrari Galleria, the first official Ferrari Store, Warm up, Formula 1, and shopping and lunch at the famous Cavallino Ristorante.

The trip begins on the beautiful shores of Lake Como and ends in Modena, the automotive and gastronomic capital of the world.  They also visit world-class restoration shops and major private collections. Guests can arrive early and enjoy beautiful Lake Como, taking the fast boat to Bellagio for lunch or the slow boat for a leisurely tour of the lake, going ashore to explore its charming little villages and coffee bars.

Over the last 12 years, the tour has evolved and improved to include new and more conveniently located hotels, as well as the very popular addition of a luxury motorcoach to transport guests in style and comfort.  Note that they offer just a few tours a year which can sell out quickly!
