Tooling around Chianti on our Vespa's - Had a great time riding around Chianti on our Vespa's. Lorenzo did a great job keeping us safe and guiding us through mostly carless roads. Had a great lunch at the winery we visited. Highly recommend!!

The Tuscan countryside Vespa tour far exceeded our expectations. It was the highlight of our Italy trip. - The tour was perfect, from the Vespa ride with views of the olive groves, vineyards and hills of Tuscany to the delectable lunch and wine and olive oil tasting in a beautiful winery in San Gimignano. We enjoyed the company of 3 other couples from other parts of the world and loved our guide, Valentina. This tour far exceeded our expectations and is definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy.

A must-do gorgeous experience. - What an incredible day! Book this tour! We got to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and we stopped at a winery for a “light” (i.e. incredibly filling) lunch and tasted 10 wines! Vincenzo was an amazing guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and great to be around. If you aren’t sure about you Vespa skills you can also book a tuk tuk and be driven around. The other couple on our tour did that, and it seemed fun as well. I rode on the back of my husband’s Vespa and it was an awesome day. We were in awe of the gorgeous scenery and learned so much about wine too. Thank you! A must-do!

AMAZING - This visit was AMAZING to say the least riding the vespas through all the different areas and seeing the views was incredible. Not to mention the wine tasting and the food was so so good our tour guy vincenzo was so good told us everything about a vineyard and talked us through EVERYTHING. I would highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they are capable of driving a Vespa and if you are not we had a couple people ride of the back of others.

Amazing Vespa tour of Tuscany - Had an amazing day trip with Vincenzo on our tour. He was great at teaching us to Vespa. My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and it was a great way to see Tuscany. We stopped here and there under shade of trees to learn about the area.
