Description

The most exciting and quintessentially Italian tour of all times: a memorable private Florence Vespa tour through the Tuscan countryside. Explore the legendary Chianti hills, with their delightful villages and renowned wineries, journeying along cypress-lined roads aboard an authentic Vespa!

DISCOVER THE CHIANTI COUNTRYSIDE BY VESPA

Meet your private dedicated English-speaking driver and travel to the meeting point in the Chianti hills. Your professional tour escort, a friendly English-speaking expert, and shiny state-of-the-art Vespas will be waiting for you for a briefing covering both the basics of riding a Vespa and Italian road rules.
Once you feel confident, set off with the fresh Tuscan breeze and the rolling Chianti landscape unfolding around you. Take in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside as you ride along scenic roads surrounded by silvery olive groves, vineyards, honey-colored stone farmhouses and historic parish churches.

VISIT TWO WINERIES IN THE HEART OF CHIANTI

Stop at a historic winery along the way, explore its cellars and grounds, and discover the traditions behind local winemaking.
Continue to a second estate, where a winery and country restaurant await. Meet the winery staff, visit the cellars and learn about the production techniques and aging process behind the estate's wines. Crown your day with a traditional Tuscan lunch, savoring local recipes, extra virgin olive oil and estate wines.

WHY THIS VESPA TOUR DAY WILL STAY WITH YOU

Twenty years ago, we set out to create experiences that people would remember long after leaving Italy, and this tour is exactly that. With over 20 years on the road and thousands of guests who have twisted a Vespa throttle for the first time on these very hills, we know what makes the difference between a nice day out and a story you'll be telling for years. It's the smell of warm Chianti air, the photograph taken at the perfect bend in the road, the glass of estate wine raised with strangers who feel like old friends by the end of lunch. You'll go home with full hands and a full heart, and probably already planning your return.

Rain Policy

RAIN POLICY:

The tour departure will never be cancelled due to rain. We will do our best to proceed with the tour, avoiding the rain until street conditions guarantee a safe ride. If it does not stop raining, the entire tour will be conducted in the safety and comfort of the minivan.

Please note that clients' safety and comfort are of utmost priority, and proper rain gear is mandatory for guests choosing to "ride in the rain".

We ask clients to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour departure, to check the weather conditions and choose accordingly.

No-shows will not be refunded.

Guest options on rainy days, to be communicated immediately at the Front Desk staff during check-in operations:

1) Proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather – PARTIAL RIDE or NO RIDE due to heavy rain.

Customers can decide to proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather, with the understanding that if scooters are not ridden at all due to rain, or if the Vespa tour is dramatically abbreviated due to rain, customers will NOT be granted any refund or discount. We will do our best to get you on a scooter, weather permitting.

2) Reschedule the tour for another day, subject to availability. To request a rescheduling, please contact our booking department, following the instructions and using the contacts provided by your guide.
