Book this tour! Amazing local guides who made us laugh while also giving history of the region, a bucket list experience riding a Vespa through Tuscany, and a rave-worthy shared meal with strangers turned friends. The highlight of our Florence trip. Filippo and Ben are the real deal.
Great time riding through the Tuscan countryside. The views were fantastic. Amazing food and wine tasting after. All the guides were so nice. Overall an amazing day!!
We had an amazing time with Angus, Ben and Alexandro. They provided us with a lot of information on wine and olive oil making. The Vespa tour was incredible and provided us with wonderful views. The lunch and wine were so delicious. Just a little note to add …I am disabled (have some mobility to get on and off the Vespa) but they were so attentive and helpful in every way they could. This tour deserves even more than a perfect score.
This was one of the best tours we have been on. We had so much fun with Filippo! Driving around Tuscany was beautiful and we saw some amazing sites. He made sure we were aware of any bumps in the road and when we should slow down. We also had a great lunch. I would highly recommend this tour!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience in Tuscany! What an absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end! A huge thank you to Ben and Filippo at Tuscany Vespa Tours. Two genuinely lovely, friendly people who made the whole experience even more special. Not only were they brilliant tour guides, but their warmth, humour and enthusiasm made everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Riding through the stunning Tuscan countryside towards Chianti, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and a fantastic group of people, was an experience we'll never forget. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we enjoyed a wonderful traditional Tuscan farmhouse meal, followed by a brilliant tasting experience. The food, the atmosphere, the company and the hospitality were absolutely superb. We loved every single minute of it! If you're visiting Tuscany and want to experience something truly special, we cannot recommend Tuscany Vespa Tours highly enough. It's so much more than a Vespa ride. It's an opportunity to experience the beauty, flavours and wonderful spirit of Tuscany with people who genuinely love what they do. We would do it all again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Ben and Filippo, for giving us such incredible memories. Mark and Maria Baker Jersey, Channel Islands 🇯🇪
Our Vespa ride through the Tuscan countryside was fabulous. We not only saw a castle and many vineyards, but learned regional history as well. Filippo brought local color giving us insight into Italian culture. Seeing Tuscany from a Vespa was unique and very fun.
This was our first time on a Vespa and our tour guides not only gave excellent instruction, but taught us so much about Italian history and offered beautiful views. We wish we could’ve hung out with them the entire trip. 10/10 experience.
What an exceptional day, living La Dolce Vita!. From The welcome by Ben (by the way happy birthday). To the testing of our ability on the Vespa’s, our ride with Filippo, the stops, photos, history, abuse of fiat 500 tours 🤣, stop at the castle, wine tasting and food, to the drop off. Was more fun than should be legal. I would recommend you in a heart beat.
We had the best time! It was seriously worth the money! The country side of Tuscany was beautiful! The guide Alex was amazing and so easy to talk to!
This experience by far exceeded our expectations! Filippo and Ben were kind, welcoming and entertaining from the moment we arrived at the Tuscany Vespa Tours office. Everything was well planned and executed. The views were amazing, the food and wine at lunch were delicious. Highly recommend
We had the best day. The guides are fabulous. The scenery spectacular. The lunch was amazing. Totally recommend this tour
I'm not sure I can say enough. Ben and Filippo are just too much fun. They drive you in vans out of the city and into the Tuscan hills where the scooters are so you're not dealing with city traffic at all. They will make sure to spend enough time with you on the Vespa in the parking lot before taking you out on the road. Filippo will almost certainly have some comedy for you watching everyone. Ben goes over everything you need to know about being on two wheels from the basics of safety to operating a Vespa. If you're an experienced motorcyclist, you'll have a very easy time. They assess everyone's skill levels. Passengers are allowed. The tour route they selected is great for beginners. It's very easy to enjoy the scenery, which is excellent. There is an explanation of a lot of the history of the vineyard and the process of wine and olive oil making. Tasting was great. You'll get to sample a couple of the higher quality wines while also getting as much of the house wine as you'd like with your pasta lunch. You'll also get to enjoy the olive oil the vineyard produces with bread and a caprese. After lunch, you'll go by the shop to buy wines or olive oils if you'd like, then they'll drive you home. I was on the fence and Alessandro gave me a small glass to try. It worked, I bought it. It was fantastic and I'm quite excited to open it when I get home. This was one of the most fun tours I've ever been on while traveling. Their entire staff and operation is just wonderful and feels so personal.
Exceptional and fun tour. This tour was our favorite part of the trip. Filippo and Alessandro were knowledgeable and wonderful people who kept us safe as we were on the Vespas. The views were beautiful as we drove through the Tuscan hills and we ended with a lunch in one of the working castles in the area. Highly recommend
An absolute MUST DO if you are in Florence! We are studying abroad in Florence and decided to book this Vespa tour to see more of the beautiful Tuscany country side. The whole thing is so easy, you just book and they take care of the rest. They teach you how to ride the Vespa and get some practice before heading off on the most gorgeous tour. This was hands down one of my favorite experiences ever, and you stop at some beautiful picture spots. The tour guides are so funny and kind, Ben and Filippo showed us the best time!! Ended with lunch, wine tasting, and the best olive oil ever in a freaking castle. Would do this every weekend if I could!
I loved everything about this tour! A dream come true! The beautiful scenery, the thrill of riding a Vespa after a very effective crash course, the vineyard visit and tasting at the château, the expertise of the guides—everything was perfect!
This is a nice splurge for a day away from the city. After touring museums and cathedrals, it was nice to see the beautiful countryside. The Guides are very helpful and accommodating. The Vespa was in good condition and the guides explained everything about them. After riding for an hour or so, we stopped at a farmhouse for lunch. They had set nice tables outside under the trees. Lunch was alright. The views were fantastic. After lunch, we piled back in the van for the trip back. I would recommend this to most people. However, if you get motion sickness, the ride in the van is very curvy and hilly. Take something before going.
The Vespa tour was easily one of our favorite parts of our visit to Florence. Ben, Angus and Filippo were super fun, engaging and knowledgeable. They did a great job quickly getting brand new riders like myself up to speed and the tour through the countryside was incredible and gorgeous. Lunch and wine tasting inside a literal medieval castle in the Tuscan hills is pretty hard to beat! Incredible experience, I’m so glad we booked it!
The tour guides were delightful and the views were breathtaking. The Vespas were a blast and the lunch and tour at the castle winery was a great way to end the tour. 10/10 would book again.
Highly recommend. Excellent communication, customer service, training, Vespas and itinerary. Ben and Filippo were excellent guides and the trip was unforgettable.
Absolutely fabulous excursion! Ben, Sam, & Alessandro were fantastic guides. Very well organized, professional, and safe. We learned so much from the trip including the wine and olive oil making process and enjoyed a wonderful lunch tasting the wines and oil produced at the castle. Highly recommend!
It exceeded our expectations! Lots of Vespa time, stops for pictures, and wonderful food! The guides were wonderful and we walked away with new friends!
If you are visiting Florence, doing this Vespa tour through the Chianti region is an absolute must-do! Riding a vintage-style Vespa through those iconic, winding Tuscan landscapes was an unforgettable experience. A massive thank you to our expert guides, Ben and Filippo, whose brilliant guidance, professionalism, and easy-going energy made us feel completely safe and confident on the road. They took us to some of the most breathtaking viewpoints for photos and shared fantastic local insights along the way. The crown jewel of the day, however, was the lunch where we stopped at a family residence and winery to enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared by Grazia. Sitting down with good wine, incredible food, and wonderful company in the heart of the Tuscan hills was truly special and made our tour feel completely authentic. If you want an experience that goes way beyond the standard tourist trail, book this tour! Than you again, Ben and Filippo, for an unforgettable day.
10 days in Italy. Saw many amazing things. But the most fun we had was the day my family and I spent riding Vespas with Leonardo. First time rider - no problem. Practice until comfortable or ride with another. The farmhouse lunch with house wine was more memorable than other vineyard tasting experiences we did. I will do this trip again every time I return to Tuscany.
Very good experience smart tour guide very safe never felt rush saw some of the most beautiful scenery
Absolutely amazing experience. Leonardo was our guide and took such good care of us. It was an incredible day, the lunch and wine was so good. Do not book anywhere else, I wish I could give them 10 stars.
So much fun! Everything was well planned, guides were entertaining and knowledgeable while also ensuring our safety. The scenery was beautiful and food/wine was delicious.
This was an amazing experience. The Vespa ride was a top ten life experience for me, and our guides were knowledgeable about the area, the wine, and the history of Tuscany. Would recommend this to anyone who has the opportunity.
Wow! We are so glad we booked this experience and did it on our last day in Florence! It was the perfect end to our trip. Filippo, Ben, and the team made the day so great. Their patience with beginners was incredible. They helped me build so much confidence with my first time driving a Vespa! The car ride to the Vespa location and back was even enjoyable! We rode with Filippo and he made us laugh and was so interactive with the group. The views were breathtaking and the Castle and vineyards were the perfect end to our trip. We learned so much about the beautiful wine/Olive oil and the steps that go into making it. The food was divine and we left full and happy! My husband and I will 100% recommend this company to anyone. Thank you, team for a memorable experience on our anniversary trip

Truly the best tour by far in Florence! The tour guides are very friendly, knowledgeable, & enthusiastic! The Vespa tour was fun and safe. The food and winery were amazing!
We had a great time. The guides, Carlo, Marcos and Odd, were fantastic. Friendly, funny and very clear when teaching us things. The winery we visited - Fattoria San Pancrazio - is beautiful and the wines we had were marvellous. Lunch was beautiful. Needless to say, the Tuscany scenery is spectacular and the Vespa rides were great fun. Both of us were a little unconfident beforehand but things went well thanks to our great tuition and the very clear organisation while we were on our journey. We can't recommend this Vespa & Winery tour highly enough.
Run don’t walk (well actually ride!) to this wonderful Vespa experience! Felippe, Angus, and the entire team of professional, knowledgeable, and FUN guides will take you on a journey through the gorgeous Chianti countryside ending at a castle where a delish light lunch awaits. The wine pairing at lunch are well worth the journey and the olive oil a must purchase. Note the ride is not for the faint of heart as there are many small and narrow roads to navigate but the guides are with you every step of the way and you can even ride tandem with one of them or in a follow van. Well worth the day trip!!
A great getaway from beautiful Florence to the green rolling hills and castles of the Tuscan countryside! The tour ends with a lovely meal and wine tasting in an 11th century castle turned winery!
This tour was the highlight of our Italy trip. The tour guides were friendly and the views were beautiful. Don't hesitate to book!
Our family of six had a wonderful time riding Vespas through the Tuscan countryside. Our guides were fun and helpful. Not only did we enjoy the Vespa ride, but we were toured through the wine cellar and learned about olive oil production. The castle location was so pretty and the lunch was delicious. We sampled the wines and olive oil produced at the castle. It was a special day!
My husband and I did the 6 hour Vespa tour and had a wonderful experience! There were only about 6 of us in the group which was a perfect size. Ben and Alessandro were great guides - full of energy and interesting facts about the region. The views were amazing and they did an incredible job with lunch and wine tasting in a castle. We would recommend for some fun and getting out of the crowded Florence area for a bit!
My wife Mary Jo and I booked the Tuscany Vespa tour, and we are so glad we did! The four guys who organized and led the tour were phenomenal from start to finish.They shuttled us safely out of town and gave us a quick, thorough class on how to handle the Vespas. They were incredibly funny, patient, and articulate. They led us through some of the most breathtaking countryside Italy has to offer, making us feel completely safe and comfortable the entire time.The tour concluded with an amazing afternoon lunch at a stunning 1,300-year-old castle. These guides are truly multi-talented. Beyond teaching us how to ride safely, they shared deep knowledge about local history, the story of the castle, the process of pressing olive oil, and the making and aging of the family-produced wines.Overall, we give these four guides 5 stars++! This was an unforgettable highlight of our trip. -Michael
The best experience! The food, wine, olive oil and Vespa tour was amazing!
These guides are so much fun. Very concerned with your safety. Views are amazing. Food and wine are excellent. Their knowledge of wine and olive oil is really good and they share with passion. Best tour I think we've ever taken. Whatever my wife paid for this, it WAS WORTH IT.
This tour was so much fun and we would recommend to anyone! Ben was a great tour guide and made the experience so memorable.
The Vespa tour was so much fun and the guides Filipino and Ben are amazing. So knowledgeable and engaging and really funny as well. You feel comfortable and safe to while time. The scenery ia spectacular and the wine and food, so good! The lookout points and photo opportunities are great too and the guide will take your photo as well. This tour has been a highlight for us. Highly recommend.
We met Ben and friends in Chanti as we were staying in the country. After a short lesson and safety check, we were on our way. (2 people ended up as passengers as the crew was really concerned about safety.) We were broken into small groups and taken on a lovely tour of the area, stopping for pictures and a little info on wine and the area. We zoomed into the Castello for a winery tour and olive oil making tour, then a scrumptious lunch with wines. So much fun!
A great time riding the Vespa in the countryside! Our guide, Ben, along with Phillipo, were fun and informative. Really enjoyed the delicious lunch with wine, overlooking the amazingly beautiful hills of Tuscany. An extra treat was meeting the lovely couple who hosted at their vineyard. If you’re considering this adventure while in Florence, only ride with the best- Tuscany Vespa Tours! Thanks for the memories 🇮🇹
Lot of fun! Rode a motorcycle but that was about 30 years ago. So it took a little practice but the guys are patient and helpful- they make sure everyone is safely operating a Vespa. Incredible scenery, very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Awesome lunch and wine tasting at a real castle afterwards! Highly recommend anyone that wants to do a Vespa tour.
Absolutely brilliant day! Ben, Fillipo and the whole team ensure you have the best time. I had never rode a Vespa before, Ben took time (and patience) ensuring I was safe and confident before setting off on the roads in the countryside. We made a number of stops, for photos and to learn about the local history, which was fun and interesting. We finished the tour with lunch and wine in a Castle. Would highly recommend this tour and if you only do one during your visit to Florence, then this should be the one.
This was an unforgettable experience. I was impressed by how full this morning felt. From driving to the vespas, practicing, riding throughout the hills, stopping for pictures, exploring the castle, seeing the winery and finally lunch, it is was worth the money. Ben was an excellent guide. He’s kind, witty and entertaining. Also, this was my first time driving a vespa, and I really appreciated how attentive they were to teaching us and practicing before hitting the hills. I highly recommend this tour! Stop scrolling and book it!
The charming team of guides set you up for a wonderful day by making sure you are safe and proficient on the scooters. The tour is very edu-taining! The guides taught us some history, some agriculture and about making wine and olive oil. Lots of fun facts! And we enjoyed a delicious lunch, with wine tasting, at a castle. A postcard perfect experience and lovely way to see the countryside at Vespa level. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed by any aspect of this tour!
This was an absolutely wonderful experience and I totally recommend doing it if you visit Florence. Filippo and Alessandro were magnificent hosts and both the wine and olive explanations and the ride, were wonderful. I will definitely do it again if I have the chance to visit Florence.
Loved this experience! This was a great activity for our family of four (18 & 20 yr old boys). I debated between companies and am so delighted we chose this tour. The other reviews are spot on. If you are looking for a well-run, well organized, small group tour in the beautiful hills of Chianti this is it. Five stars.
