About this experience

Ride through Tuscany like a local on the back of an iconic Vespa!
Start your day in Florence, where you can join our guides for an unforgettable adventure through the enchanting Chianti countryside.
After a quick orientation session and a safety briefing, it's time to hop on your Vespa whether you're driving solo or sharing the ride with a friend and let your journey begin.
Follow the picturesque backroads lined with vineyards and olive groves, where medieval villages await, inviting you to stop for photos along the way.
Feel the refreshing breeze, listen to the Vespa's gentle hum, and discover why this is one of the most authentic ways to explore the beautiful region of Tuscany.
Around midday, we’ll stop at a traditional Tuscan villa for a light lunch of local specialties: cold cuts, pecorino cheese, bruschetta, and a tasting of Chianti wines and extra virgin olive oil. In the afternoon, ride back to Florence with great memories.
