Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chianti Road, Italy

Arrive at the prearranged location on the hills around Florence for a brief introduction to your small group. Receive details on the day's itinerary as well as the surrounding area.

Then, wear the helmet and enjoy your ride on the mythic “Italian two wheels” on the hills around Florence, starting from a private road through vineyards and olive groves, on the grounds of a 15th century Florentine Villa.

Your guide will lead you through lovely landscapes and you will be wandering through walled country roads, with panoramas filled with monasteries, olive groves and grapevines, as your guide entertains you with history and local knowledge.

We then head into the Chianti countryside, letting us cradle by the sinuous curves across the gentle hills of the famous Tuscan countryside, the gently curving roads are a joy to drive and each moment is like driving through a progression of postcards. We will take some stops where you have the chance to take pictures and bask in the beauty of Florence Panorama, the mountains around the city, the Arno river and the city center from above.

What a fantastic break from traditional touristy activities! Our guide Alex was fantastic, full of enthusiasm and info to help - thanks Alex!! As long as you are sensible on a bike, you shouldn’t have any problems with the Vespa, just take your time and listen to your guide.... best couple of hours we spent in Florence!

Our guide was very helpful with our inexperienced, nervous drivers. He drove slow and always made sure we were safely behind him. However, the original tour was not available that day, so we had to go to a different winery. I was disappointed we didn't get to see Fiesole and Mugello. I was also disappointed that there wasn't much of a tour. We didn't learn anything about the winery or get to tour their wine cellar. The views were AMAZING though. Stunning. Still one of my favorite things we did in Florence.

This was by far the best tour we have taken since getting to Italy. My boyfriend and I got a private tour through the northern countryside. Since there was less people in our group, we were able to stop on the side of the road to see some of the most amazing views in Tuscany. We were initially a bit nervous to drive on the city roads, but Matteo and Elena made us feel completely comfortable. Before we started the tour we did a safety lesson and a test drive so that we would feel more at ease. The vespa itself was easy to operate it was automatic, for those who have little experience. During the wine tour we were able to go into the vineyards, barrel rooms, and bottling facilities before our tasting. On our way home we stopped in Fiesole and had an espresso. Overall, an amazing experience and we would recommend it to anyone who was coming to Florence.
