Vespa Tours - It was a beautiful tour. I’m used to driving on the other side of the road (from Northern Ireland) and the tour guide, Alessandro, was amazing! He made us feel so comfortable on the roads! The wine tasting was exquisite. The different wines paired perfectly with the food provided. The views were without question, some of the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve decided I’m going to have my wedding there (Just need to find the future husband!)

Highlight of our honeymoon trip! - We had such an awesome time on this tour and are so happy we made the trek up from Rome. We trained to Florence early in the morning and walked to the meeting point and it was very smooth. Our driver to the Vespa spot, Emanuele, was super nice and gave us a lot of cool info on the culture of the area. Our tour guide Ottavio did an awesome job making everyone feel comfortable on the vespas and was so engaging during our stops. Tuscany was absolutely breathtaking and looks so much better in person than in any of the photos. Highly recommend!

Tied for best excursion in Italy. - The lunch was fantastic with 7 different wines! Videoing the poor lady in front of me unable to master left hand turns! Funny until she dumped it. No damage though -all’s good! Great time.

See Tuscany on Vespa! - Ana and driver were efficient getting people and paperwork arranged. Vespa drivers were dropped off for test drive, helmets and bike assignments. Tide was so very fun, scenic and off the beaten path of Tuscany. Beautiful sites and vistas. Lunch and wine tasting at Toscano with winemaker was excellent. Not a trip for tentative participants. Octavio was a friendly and attentive guide.

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!!!!

Not a good trip for sightseeing - The experience itself was fun, however highly recommend that you do have some sort of scooter or Vespa riding experience. It took us almost 2 hours into our trip to get on and to start riding our Vespas by the time we took the bus, & took our test to make sure we were ready to go ride. The ride itself is very fast not much time for sightseeing, although we did stop at a few places to take pictures. My one disappointment was when we stopped for our lunch and our wine tasting. We were thinking that would be our last stop so we can enjoy the wine, however after our wine tasting and our lunch we had to get back on our Vespas and ride back to our finish spot. So we really didn’t get to enjoy our stop. Our guide was very sweet and really nice to help us, but overall was kind of disappointed in the actual ride.

Company is very particular about the vespas, made for a very stressful trip. - Views were great, our tour guide was amazing. But the company felt like they were trying to make more money off of us using the Vespas. As if the cost of the adventure wasn’t enough to cover wear and tear of Vespa’s, they analyzed every minor rock chip or grip wear and tear to see if they could charge us more. This added a lot of unnecessary stress to our trip.
