This trip could have easily been completed in 4 hours. Our tour guide Kevin was very nice and professional. Considering the price of this experience, it didn't feel value for money. Factory tour was only a bus ride driving around the building and campus. The 2 museums was ok with lot of cars to see- nothing interactive. The most disappointing part of the tour that destroyed the overall experience was the simulator. They took us to an external site /warehouse kind of place, with no fan or AC in an extremely hot weather.The simulator for my daughter didn't even work . They didn't give any replacement on a different machine . That warehouse was very uncomfortable to stay so we disnt push either. It was so hot that we couldn't wait to just leave that place. So overall this tour was not a good experience nor any value for money. I wouldnt reccomend it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points. The factory tour is exactly as described on the tour page and in the pre-tour information sent the day before. Ferrari does not allow visitors inside the production facilities unless they are authorized clients, so the official factory shuttle tour is the only visit currently available. Regarding the museums, they are designed to showcase Ferrari's heritage through its historic and iconic cars rather than interactive attractions, which is exactly what many enthusiasts travel to Maranello or Modena to experience. As for the simulator venue, it is equipped with air conditioning, maintained at a comfortable level. The simulator cockpit itself cannot be air-conditioned, as it is a racing simulator rather than a road car. We are sorry one of the simulators experienced a technical issue. Had our driver been informed that the issue could not be resolved on site, he would have been happy to arrange another available simulator with the staff. We're pleased to hear Kevin's professionalism contributed positively to your day and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Factory tour can be avoided as all you see is exterior of buildings. Museums were wonderful. On the simulator, use the automatic shifting rather than manual!
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the museums and simulator. The factory visit is limited due to Ferrari’s privacy policies, but we appreciate your insight. Hope to welcome you again soon!
Didn't use simulator but still would recommend
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you’d still recommend the experience, even without having used the simulator. The museums and factory tour offer a great insight into Ferrari’s world. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again!
Hakim was a great driver, very patient and attentive. He made sure we fully appreciated our day. We would have prefered more time to enjoy the Maranello museum, there was so much to see, but very little time allocated to this portion of the tour. Perhaps allow people to tailor the programme to their preference. Overall it was a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience ! Thank you again Hakim!
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you had an unforgettable day and that Hakim helped make the experience special. We appreciate your feedback on the museum timing—it's something we'll take into consideration. Hope to welcome you again!
Both museums and simulator were excellent. A bit pity that you can’t see the production or design process during the Ferrari Factory tour, but it was explained by the travel agency in advance. Overall a great day!
Thank you for your kind words! We're happy you enjoyed the museums and simulator. While the factory visit is limited for privacy reasons, we appreciate you noting that it was explained in advance. We're glad you had a great day with us!
If you are a formula one and a Ferrari fan, this is a great opportunity to see both Ferrari museums. The whole family enjoyed the simulator.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed both Ferrari museums and had fun with the simulator—it's always a highlight for F1 and Ferrari fans. We appreciate you joining us!
Excellent exposure to the history of Ferraris at both Maranello and Modena museums. My partner loved the simulator experience too. Also drive around the factory site and saw Ferraris in nation on the private test track.
Thank you so much for your great feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed both Ferrari museums—each offers such a unique perspective on the brand's incredible legacy. We’d love to have you join us again for another adventure in Motor Valley or beyond. Maria
The tour was wonderful! Our driver picked us up at our scheduled time, the can was clean and cool with the AC on. He walked us through to the front of the lines. The cars and museums were great to see and my adult son really enjoyed the simulator.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had a wonderful experience and that everything—from the comfortable ride to skipping the lines—went smoothly. We're especially glad your son enjoyed the simulator! We hope to welcome you again for another memorable day.
No guide was available. You were left to walk around alone. The time aloud at the second museum was not enough due to the amount of things to see. The tour round the factory did not last an hour as stated.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some parts of the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. The absence of a guide is clearly indicated in the tour description and was also communicated verbally during our call a few days prior to the tour. As for the factory tour, we unfortunately do not have control over its duration, but we’ll be happy to pass your comments along to Ferrari for their consideration.
This was on my husband's bucket list! It made it so easy to have a driver who picked us up and dropped us off at our Bologna hotel. The museums have so many cars and I learned a lot. Both museums have nice little restaurants, too.
We’re so happy to hear this experience was on your husband’s bucket list—and even happier that it lived up to expectations! Thank you for sharing your day with us!
