Tuscany by Vespa tour: Drive along scenic and silent country roads through the hillside of Tuscany on a scooter admiring the sights, smells and sounds of the Chianti region!

Tuscany - Tuscany, Italy

Itinerary

This is the original VESPA TOUR in Tuscany, the first shared Vespa tour in ITALY, with the experience and passion grown in more than 10 years and more than 40.000 happy clients that are now our best and most enthusiastic ambassadors! Join the Italian Vespa Club and live the Dolce Vita! Drive along scenic and silent country roads through the hillside of Tuscany on a Vespa admiring the sights, smells and sounds of the Chianti region! Our comfortable minivan will take you from Florence to the countryside, and will be available in case of any need during all the tour. With a short ride, you will be taken just outside of the busy and bustling city center. First you will receive an orientation conducted by an English speaking trained professional, ensuring the safe operation of the Vespas before we head out for our engaging and enjoyable ride (see notes). A driving test in an enclosed space will be held to understand if everyone has enough confidence and safety on the Vespa to drive on open roads. The ride, along scenic country roads will offer splendid views of the rolling hillside, vineyards and olive groves, little medieval churches and ancient wineries. Some stops for photo opportunities will be made along the way, also exploring an iconic medieval village in the Chianti surroundings. You will visit a famous winery, producing some of the most appreciated Chianti wines and enjoy a guided tour of their cellars, where you will learn all the secrets of wine production. You will end the Vespa ride just before lunch (or dinner, depending on which departure you choose) making memorable your experience with a typical Tuscan lunch that will be served with a wine and olive oil tasting. Don't miss the opportunity to ride a Vespa as Italians do!

Service is operated with ICONIC original 50cc PIAGGIO VESPA or ZIP scooters (smaller). We also provide APE CALESSINO, also called Tuscany Tuk Tuk (3 wheeled Vespa, driven by a tour leader), as alternative if you do not feel comfortable driving.
