So much fun. They are real Vespas… not cute little battery mopeds. They are heavy and sensitive so be ready!!! Such a great experience.

This was an absolute BLAST! Our guide was so GOOD. We saw parts of Florence that we would not see otherwise. We rode up in the hills overlooking Florence, vineyards, olive tree groves, and onto backroads with castle views. The whole experience was as adventure we will never forget; and will definitely do again. The adventure ended at a fabulous vineyard where cooking classes were going on. Everyone was having so much fun. We had a delicious lunch there and shared in a small sample of local chianti. This adventure is an absolute must for those who want to experience Florence from above up in the beautiful hills!

We had a fantastic time and our tour guide was amazing and so informative. The food was incredible and the views even better. The only small complaint was that we wish we had been warned about the difficulty of riding a duo Vespa as it was more difficult to balance than just a single. We would have booked two separate, but are inexperienced and did not realize.

The Vespa tour was such fun in epic Tuscan surroundings - and the weather was ace, I want to give a shout out to Gabriel - I would do the tour again just to meet him, he was fun, knowledgeable, warm and just a great person. He is also my wife’s personal hero Chris & Pippa

My wife and I had a BLAST! Chris provide an excellent overview of the operation and features of the Vespa while at the same time, providing tips and stressing the importance of safety. Afterwards, everyone got to tryout what they learned under the tutelage of he and Gabriele. Although it was a bit rough going at first for the two of us, we got the hang of it once we got out on the road. Gabriele was our tour guide and he was a wealth of knowledge about the region, including historical facts, its agriculture as well as its wine and olive oil production. He had an antic dote about each location we stopped at and really made it fun and enjoyable for those in our group. Again, he stressed the importance of safety numerous times and he took great care to ensure that we were all safe out on the roads. Il pranzo era fantastico and the view was spectacular! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
