What an awesome experience. They do a really great job vetting capable drivers (even when guest's egos come forward); ensuring the safety of their guests. DARIO was so incredibly calm, patient and professional. He shared some interesting stories and came across as personal and sincere, versus pre-scripted like most tours/guides. We went up into the hills of Florence and were able to view the entire city. Absolutely magical! The lunch was very tasty and we were able to meet some great people. Won't mention the name, but a coworker of his needs to work on his emotional outbursts and patience level towards guests and coworkers. Dario definitely saved the day!!!

Fabio was absolutely amazing! I was a little nervous since I’ve never ridden a Vespa before, but he gave such great advice and was so patient, it made it a great experience. Add this to your Must Do list!

This was an amazing day! We travelled all through Italy for the last few weeks and this was so fun and the views were incredible! The staff were so friendly and eager to help anyone new to two wheels. I recommend anyone visiting Florence to take in the countryside of the Tuscan hills and book here for sure. Ride 10/10 food 10/10 wine 10/10 views 10/10 overall experience 10/10!! Thanks for everything!

This was truly an amazing way to experience the Tuscan countryside. The team were great at supporting first time Vespa riders and if you aren’t comfortable after trying it out they have other ways of getting you around; you won’t be left behind. The staff were pleasant and funny and made the tour incredibly enjoyable. The lunch was also quite tasty.

Stefano, Chris and Gabi were amazing hosts. The time taken to make sure everybody was comfortable with the bikes before leaving was appreciated. The Vespas, scenery, food and company was fantastic and needs to be on your Florence to-do list
