Tons of fun! - This was one of the most fun things we did in Italy. Fabio and Christiano were a delight! I’d never been on a Vespa before, but they were patient and helpful with me while I got my bearings. Highly recommend!

Exciting and action packed day on a Vespa seeing the beautiful countryside of Florence - It was fun to ride on the back of the Vespa and my partner really enjoyed driving it. Our tour guides Fabio and the man at the workshop (forgot his name) but he showed us how to ride the vespas were both excellent, best tour guides of the trip so far. So knowledgeable and entertaining and funny, we didn’t get bored once listening to them.
One thing to note is if you are tall riding on the back of the Vespa can be a bit tiring on your legs. Another thing is that during winter the roads are slippery and wet and there is mud which can make riding the Vespa a little more dangerous… this is why you need to go slower and more carefully because you may skid and fall off. Other than that it was really fun.

Top on our family vacation - Absolutely wonderful experience overall. The tour guides were very thorough with the safety tutorials - we love that they make you test the Vespa before you go out. They make sure you're comfortable with all aspects of the bike. Our guides were also fun and very knowledgeable of the area. The scenery is unmatched! we made some cool stops for photos and the lunch in the private village was delicious! Our family unanimously voted this experience as one of the best of our Italian holiday!

Do not hesitate...TAKE THIS TOUR!! - This Vespa tour was the highlight of our time in Italy!! Chris, our tour guide was top notch!! He was a ton of fun and very knowledgeable! He took great care to ensure that everyone was comfortable with their vespa's and Fiat's. The tour took us throughout the Tuscan countryside providing a wonderful break from the busy city center. The lunch, on their private property, overlooking the beautiful hills above Florence was delicious and beautifully presented. I would like to also give credit to the 'unsung heros' of our time on this tour. Roberto, our bus driver, is a master of maneuvering our bus outside the city. He drove that bus like he was driving a Fiat. Great job Roberto. Next up is Alex. Alex accompanies the tour and moves along the route by ensuring no one gets left behind, and moves to the front to assist in managing local traffic while our group moves along some very narrow roads. These three are outstanding examples of teamwork to ensure a memorable, and SAFE, adventure. We stopped a few places along the route for some history and photo ops. Our tour of 10 had Oregon, Texas, New Jersey, Connecticut and Malaysia represented! We came together quickly and had so much fun sharing in this experience. It was made even more special when we parted ways only to see our Texas friends later in the day at the Christmas Market, and then to see our newfound Malaysian group at dinner! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! A 10 star experience! Thank you to Chris, and the Walkabout tour group, for this memorable, and fun, adventure.

Vespa tour - Our tour guide, Chris, was phenomenal. He took the time to explain the vespa operation in complete detail and our safety was his number one priority. Experience in riding is needed, however. If you are not comfortable or confident on the Vespa you can continue the tour in a vintage fiat! The lunch spot was spectacular. Delicious food with a gorgeous view. Again, Chris made this an experience never to be forgotten with his knowledge of history and his patience and care for the passengers.

Do it! - After a misunderstanding at the start, we decided to join the tour and were thrilled we did! The drive to the garage is a beautiful way to see the hills across from historic Florence. Our guide, Gabriel, had a nice way about him, making sure everyone felt comfortable in their practice runs, shared interesting information about Florence and it's history, and had a good sense of humor throughout the tour. This is a great way to spend half a day!

Safety is A,#1 with the tour guides. Always felt totally safe riding the tuscan countryside. Warm friendly service. - Fabiano and Christian were A++. Warm friendly and very patient with all the various skill levels of riders. Keep in mind they are Vespa tour guides not instructors! Lunch with wine and a killer view.
