First of all, I was uncomfortable learning the Vespa and was very appreciative of the staff to encourage people to pick their safety first. Fortunately for me, I was able to tour with Andrea behind the group I was with. The tour was very informative, very entertaining and we all were very well looked after. The memory of the Tuscany...

My husband and I did this as a break from the normal tourist stuff. It was the most fun we've had in ages. I wasn't able to master the vespa so had to double with hubby, and it was just as much fun! I would recommend this to anyone. More

What a fun day! The guides take you through the countryside to a winery and villa for a tour and a fabulous lunch. Beautiful sights, smells and sounds all around. Great gelato on the way back. Expensive, but worth it. You need to be comfortable driving a scooter with the crazy Italian drivers around you, however. More

Of our 2 weeks in Italy, this was by far the best day we had! As Vespa riders in Canada, we knew we had to sign up for a Vespa tour. This 1 day of riding was jam packed - lots of time on the scoot, with well-placed breaks where we enjoyed lovely local shops! The winery tour was amazing... More

This tour was so fun ... riding on the vespas, getting out of the crowded cities into the beautiful countryside, the lunch at the winery, the gelato stop ... and especially our wonderful guide Jacob. We had so much fun and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can ride a vespa (or ride on the back of one). More

Fantastic day. Well organised great tour guide Steven was extremely informative and knowledgable and made the tour entertaining and fun. The vespa ride was great the scenery was everything you would expect to see in Tuscany, and our tour of the winery and lunch was great. Even a little rain could not spoil the day. A memory worth keeping. If... More

No better way to see the Tuscan landscape than by Vespa. Looking back I think it would have been better for both of us to have seperate Vespas as my other half felt he was unable to enjoy the view concentrating so much on the road and also carrying me as a passenger. The unfortunate thing was that it rained... More

It was wonderful to ride in the Tuscan hills, where right in front of your eyes were vineyards, olive groves and rolling hills. The guides were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. An amazing day out! Go for it. More

When we booked this we really envisioned riding on Vespas throughout countryside and it was quite expensive but seemed worth the experience... However MOST of our time was spent at the vineyard (which was fine but not great) or on major scary roads... It was NOT hours of beautiful Tuscan Vespa riding... I wish we would've just rented Vespas on... More
