If it does not stop raining, the entire tour will be conducted in the safety and comfort of the minivan. Guest options on rainy days: 1) Proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather – PARTIAL RIDE or NO RIDE due to heavy RAIN Customers can decide to proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather with the understanding that if scooters are not ridden at all due to rain, or if the Vespa tour is dramatically abbreviated due to rain, customers will NOT be granted any refund or discount. We will do our best to get you on a scooter, weather permitting. Please note that clients' safety and comfort are of utmost priority, and proper rain gear is mandatory for guests choosing to "ride in the rain". We ask clients to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour departure, to check the weather conditions and choose accordingly. No-shows will not be refunded.
To preserve the authentic open-air feel of your eco-friendly ride, our Topolino e-cars do not have traditional air conditioning.

It was a very nice and funny Vespa tour. We would not compain if the pure scooter time could be extended. The atmosphare was greaut and the team did all needed for our safety and comfort and gives on top also information about Florence and the surrrounging (on the way to the scooter starting point). The lunch was great and also the short wine tasting provides gooed impression about Chianti area. Moveing the origin starting day to another (due to safety reason - bad wheather condition was no issue with the team onside. Many thanks keep on going.

The trip took about 6 hours. Guides were very patient and polite. I enjoyed driving a small electric car a lot! The views of Tuscany are breathtaking. The tour is very well organized. Lunch was tasty and we tried different types of wine afterwards as well .

It was in incredible experience! From the start all the way to end, didn’t want it to end. Lorenzo and nicolo were amazing and so patient and friendly. It was my first time riding a Vespa and the duo made a pro by the end lol. LOVED everything the drive, unmatched scenery, the lunch, the stories and even the wine one tour ( lol considering I don’t drink) highly highly recommend

I highly recommend. Nicollo and Lorenzo were great guides and had a lot of knowledge to share. They ran a tight ship on safety on the Vespa and were good about giving tips to make sure that we were able to get around well. The views were beautiful. The stops were worth it and the wine tour at the end was so worth the price point.

We had the most wonderful experience! It was so fun driving the vespas and I felt very well prepared. The guides Lorenzo and Nicolo were fantastic. They were so kind and very knowledgeable about the region, the wine, and olive oil making process. I would definitely book this trip again and well worth the price in my opinion.

The highlight of my Europe trip. The lovely guides You, Dam and Abdel were funny and incredibly supportive when guiding the Vespa drives. Highly recommend this as you get to explore the beautiful Tuscan hills and taste wine in a traditional vineyard.

They pick you up in a van and take you to the Vespa pick up location. I had never ridden Vespa. They teach you how to drive it then test you. I was nervous but they were very patient with instructions. Once we were off the country side was beautiful! It was fun.
