トスカーナ・ベスパツアー：ランチ＆ワイン試飲、田園風景

Dajn, Alexis, and Mario were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! This wasn’t an outstanding experience riding Vespas through the Tuscany countryside. The winery, tour, and tastings with Mario were 5-stars! Thank you to Tuscany Cycle for a fabulous and memorable afternoon!

My family booked the Vespa and winery tour with Tuscany Cycles because it was the experience my daughter was most excited about during our trip to Florence. Although the scenery, winery, lunch, and riding through Tuscany were enjoyable, our experience during the Vespa training overshadowed the entire day for our family, which is why I cannot recommend this company based on our experience. During the training, each inexperienced rider was asked to practice riding while the rest of the group stood on both sides of a gravel road watching. My daughter was already very nervous and had even told me beforehand that she thought she should just ride as a passenger with her husband. I encouraged her to at least try. When it was her turn, she panicked and nearly rode into the people watching before stopping the Vespa. Thankfully, no one was hurt. She laughed immediately afterward because she was embarrassed—a nervous reaction that many people have in stressful situations. Our family laughed too, partly because we were trying to ease the awkwardness and help her feel better, and partly because watching the Vespa wobble back and forth was, in the moment, a funny sight. We were not laughing at the seriousness of what had happened or suggesting that safety wasn't important. Instead of handling the situation with a calm explanation, Alexa and the owner, Dejan, raised their voices and reprimanded her in front of the entire group. Dejan yelled at our family using the F- word. A few minutes later, after my daughter was already crying, Alexa came back over, raised her voice again, and continued scolding her for laughing. I explained that the laughter was a reaction to embarrassment and that the incident had been an accident. I also told Alexa that she had now embarrassed my daughter a second time in front of everyone. I completely understand that safety must come first, and once it was clear my daughter wasn't comfortable driving, she was fine to ride as a passenger with her husband for the remainder of the tour. We had absolutely no issue paying for her to ride as a passenger. That wasn't the problem. The problem was how the situation was handled. There was no need to continue reprimanding a guest who was already embarrassed, especially in front of the rest of the group. To make matters worse, Dejan told my daughter and our family that we had "killed the vibe," when in reality it was the way the situation was handled that changed the atmosphere for us. After witnessing this, I no longer felt comfortable trying to drive a Vespa myself. I was so intimidated by the instructors' reactions that I was nervous just getting on as a passenger. I appreciate that teaching new riders requires taking safety seriously, and I would have completely understood if they had simply decided my daughter should ride as a passenger. My disappointment stems entirely from how the situation was handled. I believe guests can be corrected, kept safe, and even removed from driving if necessary without being yelled at or repeatedly scolded in front of an entire group. I hope Tuscany Cycles views this as constructive feedback and considers handling similar situations with more patience and professionalism in the future.

This is the tour to experience the true Italian countryside at its finest. The tour begins at a lovely private farm and vineyard in the Chianti region. There is a private tour of the winery with a sommelier followed by a relaxing Vespa tour of the picturesque Italian countryside. The Vespa ride is capped by wine and lunch in a beautiful setting. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.

My wife and I had a delightful day riding vespas and wine tasting. The countryside is beautiful as is the vineyard where we had lunch and wine tasting. Recommend highly as a Tuscany countryside excursion!

It was a great experience. It would have been nice to see more of the vineyard during the tour. Also, it would have been nice to have the lunch outdoors.

Don’t provide much training on the Vespa and then don’t let you ride unless you pass their test. Wasted $600 on antipasto and pasta with a good view.

Had an amazing time we loved it. We were worried if we couldn't use the vespa that we would loose our money but no, they provided cute little fiat cars so we could still join the fun we loved driving in the country side good food and company great tour guide who spoke good English and was very knowledgeable.

We had lovely time with Odd, Alexa and Lorenzo on our Vespa tour! They were very friendly and knowledgeable about wines. The estate where we had our lunch was beautiful!

Alexa and Dejan always deliver! We did the Vespa tour for the first time (have been a cyclist renting a bike from them in the past). Such a s great experience from saying our greetings to being served fresh local Chianti w our chef prepared meal. Thanks to Odd, that’s our somm guide/chef/wine cellar tour guide, we had a super day. Full of laughs, 4 different wines, thru dessert and a fun van ride back to the city. Loved this perfect day in FLR! Carey and Goody Mesa, AZ

What an adventure!!! Alexa and Odd (yes, Odd) were our guide and host for this tour, which was nothing short of amazeballs. My wife was very nervous, but with some coaching and training, we navigated the Tuscan countryside, drinking in some incredible scenery, with incredible wine, food, and conversation with new friends. I can’t recommend this tour enough. We had so much fun and was such a great way to start our day.
