  • Fun day, even in a Fiat!

    We had a great day! We hadn't realized how hard it would be to ride a vespa. Carlota, our guide, was very encouraging when teaching us how to drive it, and you have to pass their driving test. I ended up not being comfortable driving it on the road, and instead drove a small Fiat, which was great fun. One small point: we did have a small wine tasting, but it did not include any Chianti.

  • Would highly recommend

    An amazing experience with wonderful tour guides. The test in the parking lot is much more difficult than actually driving on the roads. On quiet roads the views were stunning and the ride was a blast. However on busy roads near towns it was quite scary to have cars directly behind you and passing you especially having never driven a motorcycle of any kind. The tour was a bit too long with too many people but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

  • Great!

    Tour guides Leonardo and Julia were great - riding was fun, wine tasting was great. The views were amazing. The only comment would be to give a person a little extra time to get comfortable with the Vespa before not allowing them to ride.

  • Wonderful Florence Vespa Tour!

    The Vespa tour was amazing from start to finish! The guides were kind and knowledgeable. We got to see parts of Tuscany outside of the Florence city center that we had never seen. Our guides, Alexia and Yo, made sure that all of the participants were properly trained and tested before we set off on the Vespas. The sights and historical briefing were amazing! The lunch and wine tasting were a very nice way to top off the tour. I am so pleased that I got to experience Florence outside of the city center in such an enjoyable way. I highly recommend this tour!
