Meeting point is in front of Biblioteca Nazionale (National Library) in Piazza dei Cavalleggeri. Look for your guide holding a Walkabout sign.

This activity will end right where it started.
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.

A must do tour! Spectacular 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.

Great experience riding through the countryside. Our guide Christian did an outstanding job with training on the Vespas and guiding us through the entire afternoon. I highly recommend this company to anyone who’s thinking of taking this type of an excursion.

Cool riding experience!

This was a good tour! We got picked up in downtown Florence and taken by bus to a garage in the countryside nearby. Then we were taught how to drive the Vespa and evaluated in a test drive. Those who were comfortable and showed that they could handle the vespas well got to take them and a few people didn’t pass the evaluation and had to ride in a car. Once we got on the road it was super fun, riding as a group in a line through the windy roads, and we had beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside throughout the tour. We stopped a few times, once at a vineyard where the tour guide Cristian told us about Chianti. Another time was at an olive tree grove where we learned about olive oil. Last stop was for some food and wine which was good but not great. Also throughout there was a guy named Alex who knew the vespas really well and rode behind us to make sure everyone was okay.
