A MUST - BEST DAY EVER! Fabio & Massimo were our tour guides and they were incredible. They made us feel so safe on the vespas. This was my second time doing this tour. I did it with my family 8 years ago, and just HAD to bring my husband back. They show you everything you need to know to ride the vespas safely, and let you practice as well.
You get to go all throughout the countryside & you end at their private estate for a home made dinner with beautiful views!
Fabio was very knowledgeable about all the sights we stopped at and about the history of Florence. The guides were very lighthearted and charming and brought a lot of fun and energy to the experience, while also being very knowledgeable about the region, architecture, history and legacy of Chianti regions.

Don’t miss out on this amazing experience! - This experience was so much fun and the company was a top notch organization from start to finish. We rode through the hillside of Florence to the Tuscan boarder and ended with a private dining and wine experience at the company’s breathtaking property overlooking their extensive gardens and a view of the Tuscan hills. Our tour guide Chris, a local made each stop at top destinations fun, unique and rich with local history colored beautifully with his own experiences. Don’t miss out of one of the best experiences we’ve had with tours. So much fun and way more than expected!

Vintage Fiat and Tuscan Villa Lunch! - We booked the Vespa tour but when we saw those vintage Fiats, we switched to that and it was incredible! Beautiful countryside, excellent instruction and safety, informative but relaxed and outrageous Tuscan villa for lunch! Would highly recommend!!!

Great, well run adventure - Chris was awesome tour leader! I had a bit of a medical problem and he was fast and responsive. Very enjoyable and well organized ride. Kudos to the whole team (cause I know how much work it is to keep those old Fiats running….ha ha). A definite “do again”

Nothing but fun - What an amazing experience! From pickup to dropoff at the meeting points, the team was great. A comfortable bus ride took us to the garage where we were clearly instructed on how to operate the vespas. They took their time to ensure everyone was comfortable controlling them and provided guidance where needed. During the trip, the guide was informative about the land and history of Florence. Midway, the stop off at the private farmhouse for some pasta, meat and cheeses (and a little wine) topped things off. (Suggest checking out their cooking classes).
The roads were narrow but drivable; when there were intersections, they would block off cross traffic so the group would stay together.
It does make it easier if you have experience.

Great activity after visiting the city the day before. - The setting for the lunch was spectacular. Chris our guide was fantastic. I wish there was more time actually on the vespa traveling around. The time you actually ride is limited but still great fun.
