While we take care of each and every detail, leave chaos behind you, enjoy the best of Tuscany’s landscapes from your stylish vespa, perfect not just to skip traffic but to have a feeling of what being Italian really means.
We will stop as many times as we like during the day, discovering the Chianti area that features medieval villages, marvelous views and some of the best producers of wine in the world.
Let us open the door of one of the best wineries of the area and introduce you to the secret of this millenary production. It’s only at the end of our ride that we will stop and visit an organic farm as well as the cellar, relaxing on the terrace overviewing rolling hills covered by vines. Lunch will be served, typical Tuscan meal, traditional fresh ingredients, paired with a specific wine selection.
A symbol, a lifestyle, a unique memory.
Experience with scooter or Motorbike requested

CANCELLATION POLICY

My wife booked this tour in advance via TripAdvisor. We never been on a Vespa, but wanted the full Italian experience while vacationing in Tuscany. The initial booking page didn’t disclose (and still doesn’t) that experience is mandatory. The only mandatory requirement was a driver’s license, which we both have.

We assumed the tour would provide first timers with a basic lesson based off the reviews on the TripAdvisor page. Long story short, we showed up to our tour and the owner told our guide that there has been too many recent accidents and injuries. He asked if we had any Vespa experience, and we both said no. He allowed me to “test drive” the Vespa in a parking lot and said I was not experienced enough and could not do the tour. “No experience, no ride” was his exact words. I agreed with him entirely and definitely didn’t want to put myself or my wife at risk of injury.

We mutually agreed to cancelled the tour and I requested a refund. They tried to offer us an alternative option within their tour offering, but it wasn’t the experience we were looking for so we declined their offer. He told us to take the refund request up with TripAdvisor and that he wasn’t going to refund us our money because he saved us from hurting ourselves by not doing the tour. We went back in forth, but his logic was ultimately we were in the wrong for booking the tour in the first place.

The owner recently updated his TripAdvisor page, but that doesn’t help us as we had an existing booking that they approved us for. If this was noted upfront, we would’ve never booked this tour in the first place.

We’re currently in conversations with TripAdvisor to get our refund request resolved before we dispute this charge with my credit card company.

This is a “Must Do”. So much fun! Our guide, Tommasso was fabulous. I wasn’t sure what to expect but this tour was a highlight of our Italy vacation. We drove Vespas to a couple ancient castle villages then Tommasso gave us personal tours on foot. He was passionate and knowledgeable about their history. All was very interesting. The lunch we were treated to at the end was a special treat. I highly recommend this tour.

Description says it all. This was a great experience, although I'd recommend caution for anyone who'd be nervous riding a Vespa. The one's we used were 150 cc (which are decently large/heavy) and the traffic is fairly fast. We had both had moped experience before this so it was a great experience, and they do give you a warmup/training session in the parking lot before you go and they ensure you know how to operate the scooter.

Four of us did a private Vespa tour with Daniella two weeks ago, and it was just fantastic. You get a tutorial beforehand, and they will not allow you to ride alone if they're no comfortable that you'll be safe. We rode on the curvy, hilly roads of Tuscany, and there was quite a bit of traffic because it was a Saturday, but it was fine. We just loved it. You don't have to be an experienced driver to do this and have an amazing time! I highly recommend it and would do it again, for sure!

Such a fun time. Martina and Stefani were the perfect guides. They took us through some beautiful countryside and we visited a couple of small towns that offered great history and fabulous views. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun day.

I generally find tours to be boring and touristy without any real adventure. This however was unique and intimate with enough variety to keep the entire day interesting. Our tour guides was part owner and had worked for years in big business tour groups and decided to branch out to offer a better experience. They do just that! From the new well maintained Vespa to the highest quality authentic Italian farm fresh food for lunch the whole thing was awesome! My wife and I did 5-6 tours in Italy and this was the best. Don’t think just book and enjoy! 5 stars!

We decided to try the Vespa tour despite not a lot of experience. The team spent time running through the bike and practice and were able to have us safe to travel noting that they will suggest you not go if you aren’t up to it which is important. It is fair to say we were careful and took our time and the personal guide looked after us, but note you do ride on roads with some real traffic. We visited two small towns and a beautiful family winery where we had lunch and tour. Fantastic experience. The back up would be the Fiat 500 if the Vespa isn’t the way to go.
