Great experience when you are in Florence - We went as a group of three people and the team was very responsive. It was raining during the time we booked and the team had no issues helping us find an alternative time.
The team also provides very detailed instructions on how to drive the Vespa, I had some experience but the team put a lot of attention to making sure we were safe and comfortable driving around.
Highlights were the beautiful rolling hills, it is a stunning experience driving a Vespa in Tuscany. We also had the best lunch at this Nona's house. They gave us one rose, 2 reds, and a dessert wine. Our lunch included fried artichokes, pasta, lamb roast, tomato salad, and Italian cookies. It was all homemade and was truly a special experience.
Big shout out to Leo and Alessandro, they gave us insightful bits of knowledge throughout the tour.

Great experience - We had so much fun on our tour! We had to cancel our initial plan due to rain, but the staff adapted and brought us to see other attractions and wine tasting. It was very personal and we learned so much! And get to enjoy AMAZING wine, oil, and cheese. Would definitely recommend this company!

Vroom vroom with a Vespa - This was a fun trip on my first Vespa ride. They go through a quick, adequate training, to really determine if you can handle the 2 hour-ish Vespa trip. If you can’t, they have a sufficient backup plan. Along the way, you get to see a lot of the countryside, and learn so much from Alessio. He is very knowledgeable, even about America, as he knew some stuff I didn’t. To top it off, we did get to taste some wine at the end, but not a restaurant. We went to this little home owned by the nicest lady you can meet, and she can cook. I’m not a fan of vegetables, but the potato, green pepper, egg plant dish was excellent! If I could rate it higher, I would!

The rolling hills, vineyards, and olive tree rows were incredible! - Great views, cool experience. Of all of our activities in Italy for 8 days, this was one of our favorite experiences (an out of the museums and walking tours)!

Highlight of our trip to Florence! - This Vespa Tour exceeded our expectations!! Highlight of our trip to Florence. Alessandro and Leo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and were great guides through Tuscany. After riding the vespas we got to go to a wine and balsamic tasting at a local family winery which was so special! Definitely book this tour if you get the chance.

Thrilling experience - It was my first time riding the vespa in Florence with the beautiful downhill and uphill landscapes. I am thankful for Alessio, Alessandro and Leonardo for ensuring our safety and taking care of us on our tour. They really took their time to help us make the most out of our experience. We did wine tasting and our hosts are so warm and welcoming. Will recommend to our friends.

Amazing! - This was an amazing experience!! Our guide Ben was knowledgeable about the area and took time to get to know everyone in the group. We loved the scenic Vespa ride, and learning about the region. The wine and olive oil tasting at a local vineyard/olive grove after the Vespa ride was incredible. We met so many wonderful people on this tour and would highly reccomend!!

Awesome guides, views, culture and people. - Our family had such a wonderful time doing this tour. Our guides Ben and Leonardo were caring, knowledgeable, and emphasized safety. They took everything in stride and were always cheerful and made us laugh.
There were 8 of us in total--2 guides, my family of 4, and another couple. While we had some things that could have ruined the trip (shaky driving, an impending thunderstorm), everyone made it enjoyable and memorable.
The views along the winding hills and vineyards of Tuscany were breathtaking, with plenty of opportunities for photos (taken by our guides as well).
Ending the trip with a wine and olive oil tasting at the end at Giovanni's home was touching and stunning during the sunset.
I now want to own a vespa. Do this, you won't regret it.

Amazing Experience!!!! - Book a Vespa Tour through Chianti Country with Alessio and Alexander immediately! We booked this tour for our friend Heather’s 40th birthday in Tuscany. We were picked up at our AirBnB in the city center of Florence and taken to the countryside. After familiarizing us with our Vespas, Alessio lead us through a guided tour of wine country stopping at points of interest (castles, villas, vineyards, picturesque vistas). The Vespa tour ended at the country farm of Graziana and Giovanni who grow and make their own olive oil and wines. Graziana shared her beautiful home with us and served us samples of red and white wines, homegrown olives, a selection of cheeses, and bread. Our entire group loved chatting with Alessio and Graziana. It was a 5 star experience and we couldn’t recommend it enough!
