Vespa - Diego was a great tour guide. Very good at driving vespas. 10/10. Tour had 4-5 stops including a very good lunch. Very hot outside in June but worth it

Exceptional experience - Amazing experience with our guide Diego from My Tour. He was very friendly and helpful. He made sure we're comfortable enough with our Vespas before the tour started. He took us to very nice spots during our tour. This was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Highly recommended if you enjoy wine and Vespas.

Great way to explore the Chianti! - We had a lovely tourguide named Lucca. We wouldn't have minded a somewhat higher pace than 30km/h.
The winetasting and lunch were great!

Experience of a lifetime - Matt, our guide, is an excellent instructor - in spite of my poor Vespa driving skills. The tour itself is BREATHTAKING. It basically convinced us to change our tickets and stay in Florence for longer. This tour is a must for those with a taste for adventure!

Our Day On A Vespa (Not)! - It began with a failure to pass the Vespa driving test. A little unfair as, unless you have been on a motorbike recently, you most likely will fail! We wound up in a 1960’s vintage Fiat 500 following the pack of Vespas. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone but we got the best deal - no cold hands, no bugs in your teeth and free hands to take lots of photos! I do think it would be a good idea for the tour company to indicate that you would need to pass a driving test in order to participate.

PICKUP IS NOT FROM FLORENCE!! PLEASE CHECK BEFORE YOU BOOK. - Please check the pick-up point.. we were never told that we have to reach Siena at 9:30 am for a departure... The title says from Florence and they NEVER booked that for us, which should have been INCLUDED.. a Very bad experience, and we are hoping to get a refund because this was a scam. PLEASE CLEAR EVERYTHING OUT WITH VIATOR. We had to cancel this experience because of this company not making our booking clear.

Nightmare Tour, nightmare company - A nightmare. Our Vespa and Wine tour was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. I asked before booking what happens if it rains (the forecast said 90% chance) and they said a full refund would be permitted. Our tour was rained out and the company could not provide alternative because they didn’t have one for the large group. They refused to offer a full refund like they had promised. Also, just a warning that vespas are incredibly dangerous. (My party all signed waivers and knew and were happy to take the risk). In the morning, about 15 minutes into the tour and the couple in front of us got in a terrible accident with a local transport truck, it was traumatizing for every member in the group. I was right behind the accident and I will remember the horror of what I saw my entire life. We waited for ambulance for over nearly two hours and the company did nothing to comfort the rest of the group. Not even offered a bottle of water. Extraordinary circumstances do happen but this company failed at handling this experience. The rain poured heavily and made it unsafe to continue, they couldn’t provide an alternative and we were denied any kind of refund. Would never trust this company again, ever.
