Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your Vespa tour will begin in central Florence, where you’ll meet your guide for a brief safety overview and practice ride before hitting the road. Saddle up on your original Vintage PK Vespa, a classic model no longer produced, and follow your guide through the city streets until you reach the outskirts.

Admire panoramic views of Florence from the Church of San Miniato al Monte before taking a peek inside. The Romanesque church hosts an array of incredible artwork and is one of the city’s lesser-known gems.

Continue into the Tuscan hills, past poppy fields and vineyards, with plenty of opportunities to pause for photos. As you travel back toward Florence, pull over at Piazzale Michelangelo, where views of the Arno River and the iconic Duomo stretch out before you.

Conclude your adventure with a Tuscan meal on a private terrace, savoring bites of burrata cheese, bruschetta or meat cold cuts with fennel. Sit back, relax and soak up the Italian spirit before heading back to your original departure point.

Exciting experience!
Emily_K
, Jan 2022
My husband and I had a lot of fun on this tour! We enjoyed the drive and the stops made along the way. Our guide was great! He was a super nice guy, but more importantly, knowledgeable about the vehicles and concerned about everybody's safety. It is important to note that not everyone will be able to drive the Vespa, if they cannot prove that they will be able to do so safely. There were several people on our tour who were told and/or decided that they could not drive it. Luckily, they were able to drive the Fiat's instead!

The best tour in Florence!
Liam_D
, Nov 2021
This was an awesome tour, absolutely made our trip and I would recommend this to everyone as a "must do" in Florence. Chris was a great tour guide, sharing some really interesting facts as we were taking the vespa's through the countryside. He also did a fantastic job of teaching us how to actually ride them. My sister had a broken foot and rode in the Fiat with him and said she had so much fun getting to know him better as we were driving around. The vespa's were so much fun to ride and to top it all off, the meal we had at the end was absolutely incredible. I had so much fun on this trip and have a huge shout out to Chris and his team for making this an amazing experience.

Amazing day! Guide Chris was the best, so nice and personable. The ride through Chianti is breathtaking the views down to Florence priceless. The stop at Carmels's Farm house for lunch was a surprise as I'd done a cooking class with her years ago! The entire experience will forever be remembered. Great tour, highly recommend.

Florence Vespa tour with lunch

, Nov 2021
This was definitely one of the best tours on our two week trip to Tuscany. Chris our guide was fun, friendly, patient ( for first time Vespa drivers), knowledgeable on Chianti vineyards. The lunch was delicious with a pretty view. Would definitely recommend this for a nice day not a cold one as it can get breezy on the Vespa’s. Doug and Susan (Dallas, Texas) November 2021

What a great experience! Christian was a great guide with a good sense of humor. He was very patient with teaching everyone how to ride a Vespa. The surrounding hills were beautiful while riding in the sunset! The food and wine were deliciously cooked at the local vineyard!

Excellent! I've always wanted to ride a Vespa so I got to check it off my bucket list, sort of. Even though I didn't get to drive the vespa thankfully, I enjoyed being a passenger. It was a fun way to see Florence and really experience the culture. Thanks to Chris! He was a professional, made the right call for safety and still made the experience great. Keep up the wonderful work!

SO MUCH FUN!

The Vespa tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip 10 day trip in Italy! Alex was an outstanding guide with vast knowledge of the area, history, food, and wine. He even went out of his way after the tour to make dinner reservations for us and provided recommendations for the back half of our trip! Book and ask for Alex as your guide and you will not be disappointed.
