Lamborghini factory tour
Discussion
There's no factory tour unless you're a buyer. Both have museums which when I last went were very good. Ferrari charge admission, Lamborghini was free, but that may have changed since about 2007.
Ferrari has some very iconic cars there and it's quite big. Lamborghini is a smaller affair, but still worth a look.
Take a look around Maranello, along the main road from the famous entrance is the test track, so often you can see something going round there (through the bushes!)
Nothing to see at the Maserati factory (which is a bit of a shame!)

Im going to Lake Garda this month too and have booked the guided tour of the Lamborghini and Ducati Factory. Lambo is 40 euros, Ducati is 13 I think, both have got good reviews on the web from what I could see. You need to google "visit Lamborghini" and a contact page comes up where you email them your time and date and they get back to you.
We went in 2011, did factory tours (!) of both Lambo and Pagani.
Both were paid entry, Lambo's started with an unguided time in the museum (well worth a stroll around), followed by a guided group tour of the factory, which was really interesting. Pagani's was a personal tour by the lady who worked reception (or what amounts to it there), and was surprising for the complete contrast - they view themselves as an atelier not a factory, and you can see why.
Didn't bother with Ferrari, also didn't bother with the organised minibus-tour operator (Motorstars?!? Something-stars, anyway), as they were charging you >2x the effective price just for shuttling you around.
If you're turning up in something interesting, the Lambo guys are proper petrolheads and are genuinely enthusiastic (contrary to the people selling "Ferrari driving experiences").

I went round the Lamborghini factory and museum about 6 years ago. Fab tour with no health and safety nonsense. In the museum we were allowed to sit in the cars including a Miura.
Great experience.
The transport cafe next door provided great Italian food too. Nothing like a UK cafe.
