We had a fantastic tour with our guide, Ben. Ben was enthusiastic and full of knowledge about the history of Tuscany and the surrounding castles. He made sure my family of 5, 2 adult drivers and my 17 yo driving daughter were completely comfortable driving the Vespa before we left on the tour of Chianti. My husband and I had our teenage sons on doubles. We made multiple stops with amazing views of the countryside. Ben indulged us with many pics of us on our vespas. We had a lovely lunch at a castle with fresh olive oil and pesto pasta. There was also plenty of wine at lunch. Would highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our time in Florence

Highly recommend! Well organized and fun!

Lindsey_L, Apr 2024

The best experience we booked during our trip to Italy! The entire team is so organized, professional, and all around kind and friendly. They start off with a small assessment of how well you can operate the vespa and you can tell that safety is #1. You have a couple laps to practicing before hitting the road and they make sure that each and every person is 100% comfortable and confident before moving forward. Don't forget to bring your driver's license! The whole morning ran very smooth with our amazing guides Alessandro and Leo. We also had a few stops on the way to take some great photos. The tour ended with a short winery tour and light lunch which was a great way to cap off the whole experience with the group. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend!

Highlight of our trip! So fun, the views were amazing, wine country was spectacular. Our guides were fun and knowledgeable! Loved it all!

Well organized, amazing and fun!

Selina_L, Apr 2024

This is definitely my favorite part out of my Italy trip. The tour starts off with a short practice time in a small lot and there was an assessment to see whether you could safely drive a Vespa. The assessment is simple - to see whether you could make some turns and start and stop. I have never driven a Vespa/scooter before but I managed to pass. However, 2 out of 8 in our group was not able to drive and they ended up seeing the tour on the guides’ Vespas. For the inexperienced people like me, we didn’t end up on the true Vespas (we got normal scooters), but that is understandable. The actual tour was amazing! You drive for ~2 hours on beautiful Tuscany hills with some stops on the way to learn about the vineyards and castles and also take pictures. You do share the road with cars (although it was very few cars) so for some that could be a bit scary. Finally, we ended the tour with a winery walkthrough and lunch which was alright but talking with the guides at lunch were fun! Of course they take you to the shop at the end but there was no pressure to buy anything. However, if I had space in my luggage I probably would have since the wine and olive oil was pretty good. So overall I enjoyed this experience very much!! They also offer drop you off at the Michelangelo Plaza if you would like so that’s a cherry on top! I got to enjoy some beautiful views of the city and I didn’t have to make the hike up the hills!

Wonderful!!!

Michelle_N, Apr 2024

I enjoyed this tour so much! Although I didn’t pass my “driving “ test, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I was able to ride with one of the guides (Alessandro) and he told me so many things I otherwise wouldn’t have known. The castle where we had lunch was magnificent and so special. I can’t say enough good things about this tour! Much love to Alessandro and Ben who were amazing

The Tuscan Hillside Roadway

Susan_H, Apr 2024

Alex and Leonardo were excellent guides. Alex provider in depth history of the Tuscany Vineyards with a passion for his homeland. Leonardo made certain everyone was happy and had a memorable photo. The lunch was an authentic family style experience and we all wanted to stay and enjoy the afternoon together.

Fun way to explore the countryside

Patrick_W, Nov 2023

Ben was an exceptional guide and we all really loved our time together. It was a cool November day but that didn’t detour the group from having a fantastic 2 hours on the Vespa’s exploring castles and countryside. Lunch was authentic and I pick up some award winning wine too!

Amazing adventure

Samantha_M, Nov 2023

Wonderful experience had with Alessandro. He taught us how to use the Vespa for safety reasons, had a lot of knowledge on the history and we had a amazing meal together. He has a bright aura about him and is very nice. One of the best experiences we had on our honeymoon

Wonderful experience

Gina_D, Nov 2023

This was a perfect way to explore the gorgeous scenery of Tuscany and feel like an Italian for a day riding on a Vespa. The riding lesson was quick and easy and then we were off to the beautiful countryside. Ben and Angus were wonderful and made it a point to stop at great photo spots and provided a wealth of knowledge and information along the way. After a couple hours riding around, we stopped at a beautiful castle for wine and lunch and more wine 😁. Perfect day with wonderful tour guides. Thank you so much!!

Very fun

Angel_A, Nov 2023

Incredible experience! Wonderful guides, very knowledgeable and humorous. Incredible food & drink, and exciting experience learning to ride a Vespa through the Tuscan countryside. Highlight of our trip!

Great way to spend the day in Tuscany

Krista_P, Oct 2023

Beautiful views and venue. Just enough time riding Vespas and nice lunch. A little weird at the winery…. The workers were watching over everyone and were not welcoming.

A must!

Jean_G, Sep 2023

We can’t say enough how we enjoyed our Vespa tour with Ben!! Our first experience in Italy/Tuscany was complete with Ben’s enthusiasm, knowledge and to ensure we were comfortable and safe. We met great people and had a wonderful lunch and wine experience! I recommend the Tuscany Vespa tour to all, it will not disappoint. Just do it!

Best part of our trip

Amazing Vespa Wine Tour

Veronica_S, Sep 2023

Loved the beautiful Tuscan scenery and riding the Vespa was so fun! The conclusion at the castle wine tasting was very nice as well. Tour guides (Leonardo & Alessio) were amazing!

Excellent from beginning to end! Great tour guide team!

Ingrid_R, Sep 2023

Every single moment left beautiful memories. Alesio, Leonardo, and Filippo were excellent. They always made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun.

So worth it!!

Natalie_G, Sep 2023

This tour is amazing!! We were a little nervous because we never driven a Vespa before but the guides were great and it was easy to pick up. We made stops along the way and the guides were so insightful. They also took our pictures and knew the perfect angles! We loved it! The lunch was great! It was a community lunch and we got to meet so many great people. Highly recommend this tour!!

Fun & safe experience....

Cari_B, Sep 2023

Fun & safe experience. Amazing views throughout the trip. Tour guides are very knowledgeable & accommodating. One of our members couldn’t drive the Vespa, so she was able to be a passenger.

Great escape from the city, lovely scenery

Morgan_D, Aug 2023

Really fun day. The staff does a great job at explaining how to drive the vespas and ensures all are capable / safe. Beautiful scenery mixed with interesting history. Our guide Ben was incredibly nice and made the day even better. Lunch was not too heavy but definitely sufficient; you get to try a good variety of red wines.

Great Family Excursion

chris_h, Aug 2023

The long winding roads were great, Angus was the best tour guide - very knowledgable about the history of the area and the vineyards we visited. Extremely well organized.
