Perfect blend of adventure and fun! - Hader, Chiara, Emma, and Mauricio were incredible guides and made this trip wonderful! I especially enjoyed Hader’s skill with making the history of the area fun and approachable and Chiara’s patient instructing style. Everyone was really friendly and seemed passionate to show us Chianti. We felt so safe with them as our guides. The experience was really fun and definitely made me want to return to Tuscany on the back of a Vespa. I recommend upgrading to the “real” Vespa if it’s available. Hader is also excellent at photographs, I think he took the best photo of me and my husband that’s ever been taken lol thanks to the whole crew!

Amazing day in tuscany - This was a great tour. They start out with a quick driving lesson of the Vespa. It is a bit intimidating but it is nice you can practice before riding. Then, you take the Vespa’s about 40 minutes into a small countryside town. It was lovely! We headed back and went to a wine tasting followed by a lovely meal overlooking Tuscany. It was the perfect length tour and I loved seeing the rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves. I would highly recommend.

Highly Recommend - This was a highlight of our holiday and very happy that we did it. Our guides, Haider, Yo and Frederica were all fantastic they looked after the group and made sure everyone was together and ok while riding, the views were just amazing and after riding we all had lunch at a winery that was beautiful and not what I was expecting. I would highly recommend doing this activity.

Loved this tour! - My favorite tour in Italy so far! The whole crew were so incredibly patient and kind, especially to those who had never rode a Vespa before (including myself). The views were amazing and the wine tasting after was incredible with breathtaking views. They took us to amazing view spots and a super cute town for a quick pit stop to walk around. 100% would recommend this tour and the guides.

Breathtaking views through the hills of Tuscany from the seat of a Vespa - This was an amazing experience, an absolute must do on your adventure through Italy. Great guide Lorenzo who guides us through the beautiful hills of Tuscany. The views are simply breathtaking on your morning ride with a few stops along the way. In the mid afternoon you return the vespas to the start point of the day and enjoy a fabulous meal including wine tasting to lull away the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour and will absolutely include it on my next visit to Florence. If you are not confident to ride a Vespa yourself be honest at the booking in at the office.

Surreal experience! - One of our favorite memories of our Italy trip! Little did we know it was the last tour of the year & they went above and beyond given the weather. It was just my husband and I which turned a group tour into a private tour really. Everyone involved was friendly, interested in us (at least they showed it!) and welcoming. Haider was awesome, fun, witty and just a 10/10! He went above and beyond for us and we appreciate that. Riding the vespas alone was such an incredible experience. I mean, you have to pinch yourself while looking over the hills in Tuscany since it’s such a beautiful sight. It was surreal and exhilarating (even in the rain!!!) Our experience at the winery was different since it was just us, but the food and wine we were served was great, homemade and delicious, it was much more of a relaxed and authentic experience.They treated us like family! We want to say thank you to everyone who made that so special for us and really wanted to go above and beyond!! Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Do it!! - What a ride! Literally! My husband and I originally booked a vespa tour through Viator that cancelled on us the day before so we found this one on a moments notice. SO glad we did! It was easy walking distance from our Airbnb and our tour guides and driver (Matt with colleague Christina, and Leonardo driving) were great! They were very patient with the instruction on how to ride the Vespas as well as patient with my slow and cautious driving :). The meal at the end was also so fantastic! Matt sat at our table and it was nice talking to him about personal things and lifestyle aside from our tour. He also graciously gave us a tour of the winery and volunteered to take many photos of us at all the places and stops we had throughout the tour!

Simply perfect! - This Vespa tour was our favorite part of our Italy trip! We stayed in Rome and took a day trip to Florence for this experience and it was worth every penny and more! It was so nice to get out of the city for some beautiful views and fresh air. I'm glad we booked a shared Vespa because it was not my forte so my husband was able to drive the two of us while I enjoyed the views. Hehe! Lunch at the vineyard was wonderful as well as the wine tasting. We can't wait to receive the wine and olive oil we ordered! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who feels confident on a Vespa and is looking for an escape from the city with great views, delicious food, and an all around fantastic experience!
