Each tour I design is completely customized, and the duration depends on what you wish to experience. It can be a walking tour, or include a high-quality vehicle registered for passenger transport driven by a professional driver.
Minimum duration: 4 hours for each bespoken private guided tour except the ones to Modena or Maranello (in this case you need 8-9 hours) and about Moto Guzzi, (5-6 hours).
