Ride through the hillside of Tuscany on a Vespa scooter and soak up the sights, smells and sounds.
The ride, along scenic country roads will offer splendid views of the rolling hillside, vineyards and olive groves, little medieval churches and ancient wineries. Some stops for photo opportunities will be made along the way.

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. 2) Rain check (of the same amount clients paid) to be used the following day or at any other time, subject to availability. The Rain check is a voucher given to client. The voucher is transferable and may be sold or given to others to use at a future date and lasts up to 1 year from date. It has a value that can be possible used in any other tour provided by our company. 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.

Amazing! Loved seeing the country side and visiting the little shops in small towns and the winery at the end.

Loved the two guides. They’re both very knowledgeable about the wine and olives that we learned about during the tour unfortunately driving a Vespa is a lot more difficult than it looks and my daughter and I were unable to drive it to the venue, but we still enjoyed ourselves and the food was great there also bought some wine.

This was one of our best days in Florence! The crew we traveled with was so friendly and helpful, and also knowledgeable about the vespas and location we were in. We met near the Florence city center and drove about 20-30min outside the city to the scooters where we tested driving them before getting on the road. Felt so awesome to have the wind in your face, seeing all of the countryside. We had about 2 stops, one quick one for a view, and another where we parked/walked to a small town and were able to grab a snack or drink. Small bite of a sandwich on the go and a longer stop for a sit down pasta lunch and wine tasting were provided. Note: you will have to take a mini "vespa test" to gauge your comfortability on the scooter, as well as have a valid drivers license. There were a few people on our tour who either didnt pass the test or felt more comfortable not driving, so they rode on a tuktuk type vehicle driven by the crew lead, and another who hopped on the back of one of their vespas instead of driving their own.

What a blast!! Nick & Yo were a great skilled team, wanting everyone to be safe!! They both shared their knowledge of the area detailing local history. It was an awesome day on the windy roads of Florence!! It was so interesting seeing first hand how Olive Oil is made at the charming Winery. The wine tasting was a treat and the pasta lunch was delicious to include yummy cheeses. Both Nick and Yo made sure everyone was taken care of during the entire tour.

So much fun, however be prepared, they will test your driving skills. We had a great day riding Vespa's and a Fiat for those who didn't pass the driving test. We were in the hills of Tuscany and had a great time at a winery. This was an all day activity that was well worth the money and time.
