Florence Vespa Tour: Tuscan Hills, Food And Chianti Wine

Our guide, Chris, was fantastic! He led a genuinely engaging Vespa tour with a warm and relatable personality. One of our best days in Tuscany!

Very well done. Chris our guide was excellent. Vespas were in top shape, route was beautiful. Lunch was simple but delicious in a fantastic location. Tons of fun!

Antonio was a great tour guide - patient and fun! He worked with each group member to ensure the appropriate mode of transport - Vespa or fun electric cars - for a wonderful afternoon outing!

Chris and Elenna were 5⭐️ guides. Appreciated their expertise.. Grazi! The Fiat cars were fun. It is a bit of walking at beginning and end of tour and a 45 minute RT bus ride from Florence. No winery tastings.

We have taken many tours since we have been in Italy and this tour was by far the best. We did the Vespa tour and had a great guide and group of people we toured with. We went through the hills of Tuscany, stopping along the way to end with a wonderful lunch with wine and pasta. Our tour guide Elonour (???) was the best. I highly recommend this.

Best experience ever! The vespas were easy to ride and it was a blast. Chris and Elena were amazing, they are the best! Very professional but also fun and personable. 10/10 would recommend!

Our guides, Chris and Alex were awesome 10 stars!!! Would definitely do this trip again. Chris is very knowledgeable of the area. The winding roads up through the mountains was beautiful. The food was wonderful.

Am amazing tour with breathtaking views and friendly staff...be aware that driving a Vespa thru these narrow and windy roads is difficult. It you don't have experience, take the electric or manual Fiat. Lotsssss of fun without the stress. The meal and tour guides were fantastic. Beautiful church and views...fun opportunities to meet other travelers. Highly recommend.

We booked the Vespa Tour, but due to the rain we opted for the little electric cars, which were wonderful - much safer and easier. The 2 stops are scenic, and the simple lunch was delicious. Just be aware that there is about an hour of waiting around at the beginning due to testing/checking each driver's ability.

Chris was an amazing tour guide. His experience, attention to detail from the introduction and filling out forms, to explaining the technical facts around the vehicles, keeping safety of the tourist at the top of the list, his in depth knowledge of Tuscany, his sense of humor and great attitude, it was all very professional as well as really pleasant touring with him. Fantastic experience and memories, thank you Chris.

A thrilling experience and well guided. Thankful for our guides Antonio and Elleanore who trained and watched over us so we could experience winding our way through the small villages and see the vineyards and olive groves.

We had the BEST time! Our guides Elena, Antonio and Gabriel were phenomenal! Explained everything in detail and made sure you were comfortable befor heading out. There was some people who tried the Vespa and decided to drive the electric Fiat instead. No problem 🇮🇹⭐️🇮🇹⭐️🇮🇹⭐️

You spend over 3 hours getting to a “garage” and making everyone test drive the Vespa. If they don’t claim you “worthy” you are forced to drive a car. We only spent 30 minutes at a wine tasting with 1 half glass. Waste of time and money. Elena and Gabrielle could use more customer experience training.

Once we got to the Vespa location it was so much fun, but before we got there, it was a long walk, about 800 klm from the meeting point, which was the train station to a shuttle. There was an option to drive an electric car if you didn't feel safe on the Vespa.

Very fun tour. The guides did a nice job and took safety seriously. The views were nice and the food was great.

We opted to take the mini cars instead of the Vespa and it was so much fun! Gorgeous views and lots of fun!

Excellent tour the views were amazing and the food at the farm house was perfect! Tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! 100% doing this tour especially the afternoon with the sun low in the sky over Firenze!

Our guide was fantastic, his name was Chris and he was so helpful and thoughtful to the whole group. He made the tour all that we could have hoped for. We took the mini fiats instead of the Vespas as the roads were very winding. They were fun and easy to drive.

This was easily the best tour that we did in Florence. Transportation was made very easy. The trip itself was so much fun and riding the vespas was a lot easier than originally anticipated. My partner had no experience and did a great job and I had little experience and did great as well. The tour guides were fantastic and the meal in the middle of the trip was awesome. Overall great experience would book again.

Overall this tour was worth it! It was great to get out in the countryside and the tour operators took our safety and experience very seriously. We had a fun time! Antonio was especially wonderful and kind. I had a very poor experience with Elena and almost felt too uncomfortable to go on the tour after my interaction with her but when I was moved to Antonio’s group my experience significantly improved and I felt supported by him while trying something new!

This advanced / intermediate tour requires good Vespa driving skills. Thankfully, they had a Topolino electric cart option, because the Vespa driving is not for beginners. They will charge $500+ if you do any damage to their Vespa.

Chris was great. Truly enjoyed our Vespa tour.

This was an amazing experience, Irene was really professional and friendly. I do recognize how important is the test before driving out in the actual streets, and of those who didn’t felt sure avoid riding the vespa they offered the Topolino option (an electric car that looks really fun too)

My husband and I were excited about this activity. We have never driven a Vespa and wanted to experience it. We were confident we could successfully drive the Vespa and the description stated that insurance was included in the price. If we couldn’t drive the Vespa you could drive a small electric car. Either way no worries right because you have insurance protection. What they don’t tell you until you meet them is that the insurance is for them, not you. So you are paying for their insurance coverage, not yours. And you are not covered in any way. And you cannot get a refund if you no longer want to do the activity. They should either be honest in the description of the activity or permit refunds. This is a deceptive practice and I think everyone should know the reality of the insurance BEFORE booking the trip or be able to get a refund if they don’t want to chance not having insurance. I lean towards the correcting the description as I would not want to show up in Florence thinking I have an activity only to find out it was not clearly defined.

Chris, our guide did a good job. Knowledgeable and friendly. We did safety test for Vespa and he was unsure about us. He said it was our decision. We ended up taking a car instead which was also fun. I don’t think the information listed that as an option. The meal was very basic but tasty. You are truly experiencing the countryside and the views. The stop to the plaza was amazing and offered amazing views of Florence.

Really enjoyed! This was good fun and saw some beautiful scenery. Lunch and wine at the vineyard was great, would highly recommend this tour. Gabriel and team ( I think tenure names was Chris and Alex) was highly organised and great fun.

Fun scooter tour, they do a little test ride to make sure everyone is comfortable on the vespas and offer fiats for those who are not comfortable. There was quite a bit of walking on this tour so it’s not for low mobility folks. Our guide Chris was great, by far the best English out of any guide we have had in Italy. He made sure we were safe and having fun!

Absolutely incredible Vespa tour! Elena was an outstanding guide, so friendly, knowledgeable, and full of energy! She made the entire experience unforgettable. Easily one of the highlights of our Italy trip. Highly recommend ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great experience. Antonio was great. There were a few people in the group that realized that they were not comfortable riding the Vespa and he handled it so well and it did not affect the tour at all. The views were great. The meal and wine were wonderful. Make sure you are comfortable riding a Vespa before signing up - 4 people out of our group of 16, ended up in a car.

We really enjoyed this tour. Antonio was great and the meal was just right. We ended up driving the little Fiat car instead of the Vespas. Would recommend.

We loved this experience! The guides were kind and helpful to all levels of experience in our group. The riding is slower paced, but a great way to get out into the countryside in a different way. More walking is involved than we expected (not a concern for us, but could be for others) and much of the time is spent in transporting to the site and organizing the rides.

Great morning trip on the Vespa tour. Our guides Elena, Chris, and Antonio were fantastic! Great day starting with learning the Vespa and a scenic ride through town.

My family (4 adults) really enjoyed this tour! What a way to see the Tuscan countryside! Our guide (Elena) was great. She was very thorough in explaining everything. You could tell safety is her first priority, but she also was sure to make the tour fun! She’s a great guide, you’re lucky if you get her! A must do tour in my book!

We LOVED this experience!we had the best hosts, Antonio, Elena, and Gabriel - they were so knowledgeable about the area and experience, but also funny and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour. So much fun!

This was one of our top two experiences in Italy and Gabriel was a wonderful guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. They had a sleek bus to take us to their garage. There, we each tested our abilities with the Vespa under watchful eyes. If we were not comfortable with it, there were adorable electric 2-seat Fiats to drive. We drove on the outskirts of the city so traffic was not as horrible, and the guides helped us navigate main roads. Lunch was relaxed and tasty at their beautiful estate.

This was super fun and beautiful at the same time. The Vespas are very new and easy to drive. The views during the drive were absolutely spectacular. We made stops along the way where our tour guide Chris made sure we took great pictures of the best views of Florence, while also teaching us about the history of the region, their wine and olives. He was very nice, fun and knowledgeable. At the end we had a very nice dinner with Chianti and more awesome views. Highly recommended!!!

The experiance was wonderful. Highly recommend tour guide Chris and Gabriel. The tour was amazing and we can't recommend it enough.

We had a great time riding through the streets of Italy. The training was good and we loved the stops on the way

The tour guides take their time making sure that everyone is qualified to ride the Vespa, if they feel that the driver does not have the experience necessary then they provide a topolino fiat. This process of acceptance and disqualification including transfer from train station to bus takes about two hours. Once process is done we are lead by the guide to the hills of Tuscany, this is an amazing experience and guides are all very qualify and caring. All this proceeded by a beautiful dinner with wine overlooking the hills. Overall if you are patient with the process this can be a very enjoyable unforgettable experience. Elena, Antonio and Chris are excellent guides.

This was one of the highlights of our trip Chris and Gabrielle are excellent to make sure that we were safe as we rode through the beautiful Tuscan countryside.. The lunch was delicious. 👍👍👍👍

Cannot say enough good things about Antonio, Chris, and Elena. They made us feel safe prior to getting on the Vespa and throughout the entire trip. Everything went smoothly! Also the food at lunch was delicious! Highly recommend booking this tour!

Antonio was fantastic! I had a wonderful time. All staff very helpful. You will do some some hill climbing from bus to warehouse where vehicles are stored. Bus and get vetted takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours. But the tour itself is fantastic! Worth it!

Antonio, Chris, and Elena were a pleasure and created an amazing experience. I highly recommend this experience. The estate views and food at the end were unbelievable.

The experience recommends Vespa experience but it should require it. Lots of technical driving and some traffic to tackle. Good news is you get to test ride a Vespa and if you dont get the hang of it, you can opt into an electric Fiat. Ann, Chris, and Gabriel did an excellent job comminucating with us and keeping the group safe. Lunch was relaxing and it was nice to meet a few new people. You also get a chance to enjoy views most people dont see. Highly recommend!

Chris our tour guide was excellent. It did take 2hours from arrival time to get on the vesper with travel and training. We only were on the vesper for a total of approximately 1hr 40mins which would have been better if a little longer. (2hours plus) We did enjoy the day but were a little disappointed the ride wasn't longer. Lunch was ok but could have been more pasta as don't think filled everyone on the table.

Chris and his crew of other guides made our experience today unbelievable. They were very well organized, safe, and gave us plenty of practice on the vespas and time to enjoy the views, food, and wine… even while dealing with some very unpleasant others in the group. Props to them for keeping a professional and safe culture within their business.

Who doesn’t want to ride a cute Vespa in the countryside of Italy? Fun activity to do. It could have been improved with better efficiency…take a smaller bus so you can get directly up to the garage and guests don’t have to walk…have a rain plan so guests don’t have to ride the Vespa back in a dangerous thunderstorm…have a bigger area to do driving testing so it doesn’t take so long and an option of flat ground so people don’t have to test drive only going straight up a hill. The meal was fun and learning of local history was great!

This was an amazing experience, the perfect opportunity to see the countryside on a beautiful Vespa! I went into this tour with riding experience, although there was varying skill levels in the group. They give you the opportunity to try the Vespa and if you don’t feel comfortable or if you are unable to safely operate it they have an electric car option that is also very cute. Chris was a fantastic tour guide, the whole time we felt safe and well taken care of. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and pointing out sights along the way. Vladimir was helping with traffic and I felt confident on the streets because of that. The views that were on the route were breathtaking! Highly recommend this experience!

We spent almost 2 hours messing around before we actually started the Vespa tour. Met at location, walked to bus. Took bus to another location, about 45 minutes. Then another hour, hour and a half waiting for everyone to take the Vespa “test”. Only 2 of us out of 10 people ended up riding vespas. The rest took Fiats. Rode and then had lunch that was okay. My advice rent a Vespa yourself and skip the non-sense.
