Surreal and Breathtaking Experience - Fabio and Dario were incredible tour guides with amazing energy and knowledge. They made it very clear that our safety was their number one priority while we were preparing to get on the Vespas, before we began the tour. The experience itself was breathtaking and absolutely worth it for any first time visitors and/or first time Vespa riders, and Fabio and Dario managed to make it even more enjoyable. The dinner included was also delicious and took place outside at a gorgeous villa overlooking the Tuscan hillside. All-in-all, this was probably my favorite experience of my entire 10 day trip to Italy, so I can’t recommend it enough!

An absolute must do on your trip to Florence - This will forever be my favorite tour and I don’t know how anything else can compare. You begin with a bus ride up to the vespas which builds the excitement. Once there you are taught exactly how to use the Vespa by a charming duo of men that explain everything perfectly so you feel comfortable and confident riding the Vespa. We opted to ride in tandem but you can each ride your own Vespa for the same cost. Gabriel and Davido (spelling is off I’m sorry) took us around the hills of Tuscany and stopped at these amazing places for photos. The wind is blowing in your face and you are breathless at the beauty seen on this tour. At the end we stopped at this beautiful farm and had pasta and meat and cheese and wine with our new tour friends. After that we drove our vespas back to the garage and took our bus back to the meeting place. It was AMAZING!! Don’t miss this.

Best tour ever! - I had the best time on this tour, our tour guides Fabian, Manolo and Chris were so excellent and friendly, they made the tour so fun. The driving component was quite easy and beautiful, and the stops to learn about the Chianti region and to get a homemade lunch were stunning. Will be recommending this to everyone!

Fun trip, great guide - Really enjoyed our Vespa tour. Our guide Gabriel was full of fun facts. It was nice to get out of the city and seeing Galileo’s house was a nice bonus.

One of the highlights of Florence - We took the Vespa tour last week with Gabriel as our leader. The entire experience was superbly planned from start to finish. There is a strong emphasis on safety and fortunately everyone returned safely. The scooters were like new and a bit zippier than our Vespa 50! The views were phenomenal, especially from the scenic overlook of Florence. Was really something that we were in the Tuscan Hills, bit a few short minutes from Florence Centro. My wife is still raving about the lunch! Gabriel was friendly and engaging, as well very knowledgeable of Tuscany and Florence. Would highly recommend this tour.
