This was hands down a must do activity! The tour guides were so engaging and fun. They were very inclusive and informative. My traveling companions were unable to safely operate the Vespa and our tour guides Leo and Alex made sure each of us had the best experience. Our “light lunch” was anything but. It was a 3 course meal with very generous servings of wine (which was delicious). I highly recommend booking this tour, you won’t regret it!
We had a magical time! It was beautiful and the tour guides were very friendly and kind. My husband and I highly recommend this tour!
Alessandro and Leonardo are the best Vespa tour guides ever!!!!!! The tour was so cool - we drove the vespas and occasionally stopped to learn about different areas. At the end of the tour, we went to an old palace for a wine tour and lunch, which was great! I highly recommend this tour and Alessandro and Leonardo as tour guides!!!
This is definitely my favorite part out of my Italy trip. The tour starts off with a short practice time in a small lot and there was an assessment to see whether you could safely drive a Vespa. The assessment is simple - to see whether you could make some turns and start and stop. I have never driven a Vespa/scooter before but I managed to pass. However, 2 out of 8 in our group was not able to drive and they ended up seeing the tour on the guides’ Vespas. For the inexperienced people like me, we didn’t end up on the true Vespas (we got normal scooters), but that is understandable. The actual tour was amazing! You drive for ~2 hours on beautiful Tuscany hills with some stops on the way to learn about the vineyards and castles and also take pictures. You do share the road with cars (although it was very few cars) so for some that could be a bit scary. Finally, we ended the tour with a winery walkthrough and lunch which was alright but talking with the guides at lunch were fun! Of course they take you to the shop at the end but there was no pressure to buy anything. However, if I had space in my luggage I probably would have since the wine and olive oil was pretty good. So overall I enjoyed this experience very much!! They also offer drop you off at the Michelangelo Plaza if you would like so that’s a cherry on top! I got to enjoy some beautiful views of the city and I didn’t have to make the hike up the hills!
This tour was more than we expected, and our guides Leo and Alessandro made the experience complete with their preparation, description of what we should expect not only for the scenery and safely navigating the hills on a Vespa, but also imparting their knowledge of the history and current occupation of the local vintners. Leo was also a great photographer for us! Lunch was also more than we expected. The farm host family were so nice, the food and drink were so good. We were just sad it had to end. This tour is an absolute must for anyone who wants to get a rich taste of the Tuscan hill towns.
