We are so glad that this was the excursion that we booked for our time in Florence. Big thank you to Haider, Alessio and Cristiano for an incredible day yesterday. There was more than enough time to drive our Vespa around the Tuscan hills — totally worth it. Breathtaking views and Haider shared plenty of knowledge (and jokes) on this history of Florence. Memorable day!

Haider, Lorenzzo, and Cecilia were hands down the best tour guides we have ever toured with. There are no words to describe how much they made the tour. Touring with them made you feel like you are just hanging out with long life friends. The old village we visited “Greve” was stunning, wine tasting and pasta dinner were amazing.
Thank so much for an experience of a life time.
Grateful to have met you and toured with you.

Can’t recommend this enough! We did the 9am tour, and it was perfect! Antonio and Yo were such fun, informative, and entertaining tour guides, and the vespas were a thrill! I was a first timer with my mom as a passenger, and was able to get around with no issues! Driving around the unbelievably beautiful countryside of Tuscany was such a memorable experience! From start to finish, this tour was a 10/10. Thank you Yo, Antonio, and Giacomo for such a wonderful day! It went too fast!

Hader, Chiara, Emma, and Mauricio were incredible guides and made this trip wonderful! I especially enjoyed Hader’s skill with making the history of the area fun and approachable and Chiara’s patient instructing style. Everyone was really friendly and seemed passionate to show us Chianti.
We felt so safe with them as our guides. The experience was really fun and definitely made me want to return to Tuscany on the back of a Vespa. I recommend upgrading to the “real” Vespa if it’s available.
Hader is also excellent at photographs, I think he took the best photo of me and my husband that’s ever been taken lol thanks to the whole crew!

This was a great tour. They start out with a quick driving lesson of the Vespa. It is a bit intimidating but it is nice you can practice before riding. Then, you take the Vespa’s about 40 minutes into a small countryside town. It was lovely! We headed back and went to a wine tasting followed by a lovely meal overlooking Tuscany. It was the perfect length tour and I loved seeing the rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves. I would highly recommend.

This was a highlight of our holiday and very happy that we did it. Our guides, Haider, Yo and Frederica were all fantastic they looked after the group and made sure everyone was together and ok while riding, the views were just amazing and after riding we all had lunch at a winery that was beautiful and not what I was expecting. I would highly recommend doing this activity.

My favorite tour in Italy so far! The whole crew were so incredibly patient and kind, especially to those who had never rode a Vespa before (including myself). The views were amazing and the wine tasting after was incredible with breathtaking views. They took us to amazing view spots and a super cute town for a quick pit stop to walk around. 100% would recommend this tour and the guides.

This was an amazing experience, an absolute must do on your adventure through Italy. Great guide Lorenzo who guides us through the beautiful hills of Tuscany. The views are simply breathtaking on your morning ride with a few stops along the way. In the mid afternoon you return the vespas to the start point of the day and enjoy a fabulous meal including wine tasting to lull away the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour and will absolutely include it on my next visit to Florence. If you are not confident to ride a Vespa yourself be honest at the booking in at the office.

One of our favorite memories of our Italy trip! Little did we know it was the last tour of the year & they went above and beyond given the weather. It was just my husband and I which turned a group tour into a private tour really. Everyone involved was friendly, interested in us (at least they showed it!) and welcoming. Haider was awesome, fun, witty and just a 10/10! He went above and beyond for us and we appreciate that. Riding the vespas alone was such an incredible experience. I mean, you have to pinch yourself while looking over the hills in Tuscany since it’s such a beautiful sight. It was surreal and exhilarating (even in the rain!!!) Our experience at the winery was different since it was just us, but the food and wine we were served was great, homemade and delicious, it was much more of a relaxed and authentic experience.They treated us like family! We want to say thank you to everyone who made that so special for us and really wanted to go above and beyond!! Definitely a highlight of our trip.
