About this experience

There is nothing more special than riding a vespa during sunset among vineyards and olive groves. The Chianti area looks magical at dusk due to its vibrant colors and the tranquil atmosphere. You will meet our guide at the office and you’ll be transferred to the starting point in the heart of Chianti Colli Fiorentini. After a scooter orientation and safety briefing you will be ready to ride your Vespa on the famous Tuscan country roads. Admiring the old Tuscan villages and the gentle rolling hills from a Vespa is a unique Tuscan experience. At the end of the vespa ride a wine and extra virgin olive oil tasting will be waiting for you. Sit down, relax and take in the scenery. Our sunset vespa tour is a perfect way for spending an evening in Tuscany. Your memories will last forever and you might want to buy a Vespa after the tour. The meeting time is 3:15pm at our office and you will be back to Florence by 8:30pm.
