“Once in a lifetime experience! - The entire day was fantastic. 11 hours of being surrounded by Ferrari. The day was more than worth it for the price. We started our tour with a drive up in the hills in a GTC 4C. Then a museum tour, lunch at Enzo’s restaurant, factory tour and then to the test track where we drove a Ferrari 458 at 168 MPH. Wow!” - Reviewed on 2023-11-01
