What a fun time this was! Going around the hills was a nice break from the city! A great way to discover the region, local History and culture. I would have loved to keep on going for a few extra hours honestly! I've forgotten the name of our guides but boy were they great and uper friendly! The only frustrating point was that it took quite some time from the pick up time to the moment you finally get on a Vespa.

Had an amazing time and made great new friends! Leo was a great tour guide and we felt safe on the Vespa tour. Pasta and wine at the end were also very good. 10/10 recommend

We had such a great time! Gabriel and Alex were such great guides. Gabriel picked us up at a very convenient location, took us to a bus that brought us to the garage. We used a double Vespa and my fiancé drove. Although it rained a tiny bit, our group did not skip a beat! We did a quick lesson on the Vespa and we were off! If you have relative scooter or motor-equipment experience, you should be just fine. It’s also very nice that the roads they drive you around on are much less busy. Amazing views and sight seeing + great group lunch. Thank you so much Gabriel and Alex for such a great experience!

What could be better than riding around the hills of Tuscany in the cool autumn breeze with beautiful scenery? Miri was such a joy from the start of the tour to the end. We all had to pass Miri's driving and riding test which wasn't tough if you are experienced, but necessary to ensure everyone's safety on the roads. We had a couple of stops where she told us more about the history of Florence and its surrounding towns - extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour ended with a nice and simple lunch in a farmhouse with a view of the Tuscan countryside. Wished that we had more riding time as it was so relaxing and fun. Thank you Miri and Alex for making sure we were all safe on the roads, we really appreciate your guidance and letting us all have such a lovely and fun time!

Such a fun experience! Leo was a great guide and the whole day was a highlight of our trip! The lunch was just fine but we weren’t bothered because that wasn’t the focus of our experience. The ride was absolutely worth it!

About an half hour on a bus to get out of the city. Another 45 minute tutorial on the bikes. Very organized, very professional...then you're off for the trip of a lifetime.

This was my first time riding a vespa, and it was definitely daunting in the beginning. However, I got the hang of it quickly, with the help of the fantastic tour guides Mirella and Alex (sorry if I spelled your names wrong!!). They were honest with the vespa situation, but encouraging and kind as well. I would not have been able to ride the vespa all day without them. The Tuscan hills we toured were absolutely stunning, and the lunch/dinner at the private estate was a true pinch me moment. Mirella was the best tour guide I have ever had in Europe. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and funny! Would do this vespa tour again and again!!

I would not book this if you have NEVER been on a Vespa or some type of scooter. They say Vespa experience is recommended, but they should make it a requirement to have Vespa experience. The tour itself was nice and very pretty with a nice lunch. We were able to see beautiful parts of Florence higher up and got great views of the city. They show you how to drive the Vespa in front of everyone participating just up a hill and back. This isn’t enough time to learn or be comfortable for first-time drivers. It’s also really intimidating practicing in front of everyone as there were some people judging and making fun of us which was disappointing. The issues I had were with one of the tour guides (Gabe older dude). He wasn’t nice when explaining how to start and said “I wasn’t listening to him” when I got confused. I have never ridden one of these things and was nervous and confused so bear with me if I’m “not listening.” When I asked a clarifying question he gawked and was super impatient like I was stupid. If safety is the number one priority, why would you be so annoyed when I’m trying to ask a question to clarify? I completely understand them not allowing my partner and I to ride the vespas because we weren’t ready and not comfortable. However, there is a way to say it in a nice manner and tell people without making them feel poorly. Don’t say I’m not listening when I am in fact trying to be safe and understand properly. The other guide (Chris, younger, upbeat guy) was amazing and super nice. He told us not to worry and that these things are hard at first. If you get Chris as your tour guide that’s great, but if you get Gabe I’m sorry because he’s incredibly rude and impatient. To compromise, we drove a Fiat and it was nice and comfortable. Overall, the tour would’ve been much better if we had chosen to drive the car ahead of time and to not feel stupid in front of everyone. If you book the fiat or have Vespa experience you’ll be fine. The one tour guide just sucks.
