The best day trip - We had the best time on this Vespa tour! Our hosts Haider and Yo were friendly, welcoming, and great teachers for showing us how to drive the vespas. It was way harder than we expected to drive, but well worth it to learn and experience Tuscany on the roads with the wind in our hair! So, so fun. The lunch and wine at the end was a great way to cap off the day.

Awesome Experience! - This activity was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! We booked a 2 person Vespa since my wife did not want to drive one. It was my first time driving one as well, but our tour guides/instructors Nick and Julia did an excellent job teaching and making sure we were safe at all times. The lunch and the wine tasting were a great touch to end our Vespa tour. I would recommend anyone to book this tour and add some adrenaline to their trip.

Zipping around Tuscany, amazing meal - Very fun experience. The vespa was really fun to drive and easy to pick up with David and Hider’s instructions. They were great guides; they kept us safe and had a lot of information about the area. They were also hilarious. The food and wine were amazing.

First time on Vespa - Having never rode a Vespa before I was a little hesitant, but after a quick tutorial and practice, it was no problem. The staff were awesome with good information and fun to be with.

Must do experience over all other tours, Haider and Giulia are the best tour guides EVER. - Hands down the best money we’ve spent and the best time we’ve had. When I dreamed of our Italy trip- this tour encompassed what I imagined. Both Haider and Giulia were patient, kind, and encouraging when helping us learn how to drive the Vespas safely and properly. I love that they gave us an opportunity to test drive and get used to it before we drove on the windy, hilly roads of Tuscany. They also worked with everyone to make sure they were comfortable- aka I’m short so Haider showed me how to adjust using the kick stand, etc. They were also AMAZING tour guides and both were funny and approachable. There’s nothing better than tour guides that are passionate about the culture and city. This tour was well organized and they thought of everything- from water bottles to photo opps to the breaks and time out if the sun. The food, wine, sites, olive oil were also phenomenal and highly recommend.

Best Vespa tour - We have been travelling in France and Italy and taken many tours. This is the best tour by far. The description of the tour was accurate, the guides (Haiter and Giulia) were exceptional, their attention to making sure the group was safe at all times but not taking away the fun, the country side and views were amazing, the food and wine tasting delicious. Highly recommend.
