Amazing experience! - The trip was wonderful! We enjoyed the wind, landscapes, great explanations, as well as winery selected! It was a great pleasure! I would highly recommend. It is important to have at lease some Vespa/ scooter/ motorcycle experience in order to enjoy it fully and in order for no accidents to occur!

A Great Taste of Tuscany! - We had a wonderful time riding Vespas through the Tuscan countryside. The views are amazing and riding along the hilly, narrow country roads makes you feel really immersed in the landscape. Ottavio was our guide and he couldn’t have been better. He was fun, friendly and chill, and we enjoyed all his stories about living in Tuscany, growing and harvesting grapes, centuries-old rivalries between towns, and lots more. The wine tasting experience at a family vineyard was lots of fun too. We enjoyed every minute of the experience. Highly recommended!!!!

A definite must do - The Vespa, the winery tour and especially our guide Alessandro was fantastic. There is something very special about the leisurely pace of riding a Vespa through the wonderful rolling hills of Tuscany. Alessandro referred to the Vespa as a way of life, not just riding a Vespa and I can now understand this.

Wonderful way to tour the Tuscan countryside - Riding on a Vespa was a wonderful way to view the Tuscan countryside. The tour operators were careful and thorough and concerned about both our safety and making sure we got a good dose of the history of the region and the beauty of the landscape. The Vespas were in excellent condition. The stop at the vineyard was great - the wine was good - we brought some home with us. We would definitely recommend this as an excellent way to get out of the city.

Not worth it. Sounds great, but is not - There is not enough staff for large groups. We were 6 plus another 6 there. Took forever. After all of the paperwork and testing, the last person failed the test despite driving a scooter at home. No refunds. The staff was very nice and got us to a winery instead. The other group finally left after being in the shop for hours
