Get comfortable before heading out into the Tuscan hills
Moving around through traffic in Florence can be stressful and having a typical Italian Vespa can make the experience much lighter, fun, and dynamic. With this tour, you can hop aboard your Vespa for a day and make your way through the Tuscan countryside. On board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan, you will leave the chaos of Florence behind you, reaching the place where you will find your Vespa ready. Before you get on it though, you will be given some directions and take a short orientation and driving test to make sure you are safe and comfortable on your scooter before setting off into the thick of the countryside.
Take an unforgettable tour through Tuscan nature
Once you are ready to drive your Vespa on the amazing country roads, you will begin your tour by passing through scenic locations with majestic views of all the best that Tuscany has to offer: vineyards, olive groves, medieval churches and ancient wine cellars will present excellent opportunities to stop and take wonderful souvenir photos.
Explore a famous winery and taste a traditional Tuscan lunch
After a round trip of 30 km at an average speed of 25 km/h, you will reach a famous Chianti winery where you will have the exclusive opportunity to take a guided tour of the cellars. Is also planned a stop to admire the picturesque town of Greve in Chianti. Afterwards, it's time to conclude the Vespa tour in style with a traditional Tuscan lunch (or dinner - depending on the chosen departure time) served with a rich tasting of selected local wine and fine olive oil.
