Emilia-Romagna is crossed by the "Motor Valley" and offers enthusiasts the opportunity to enter the world of the most famous vehicles in the world: With the expertise of a licensed guide and a little room to book, visit museums (and sometimes factories) DUCATI, LAMBORGHINI, FERRARI, MASERATI, PAGANI is now possible. Definitely an unforgettable experience for Monsieur.

 

You will find below some of the many possible guided tours for which you will not have to worry about the reservation or the search for availability. However, the visit is subject to reconfirmation and requires advance payment and strict compliance with the rules and timetables imposed by the management of these automobile companies. It is essential to have a vehicle or to request a car with driver to visit the Motor Valley with a guide. This way you can see at least 2 motor sites in half a day!
