Piazza Michelangelo is on a hill on the south bank of the Arno River, just east of the center of Florence, and offers a stunning view of the city.
Pozzolatico is an little village in the southern part of Florence and it marks the start of the Chianti Classico region.
The diverse and amazing panorama in Tuscany is distinguished with its diverse and scenic landscapes; perhaps the most famous being Chianti. Located in an area that encompasses Florence and Siena, Chianti is as varied in its scenery as it is in its wines.
Villa del Poggio Imperiale is a predominantly neoclassical former grand ducal villa in Arcetri, just to the south of Florence in Tuscany, central Italy.
San Miniato al Monte is a basilica in Florence, standing atop one of the highest points in the city. It has been described as one of the finest Romanesque structures in Tuscany and one of the most scenic churches in Italy.
Pian dei Giullari is an hamlet overlooking Florence, just above Piazzale Michelangelo, and the villa there was once Galileo’s home. In this area there is our country estate where you will be stopping for a meal with a glass of wine

Miri was a fantastic tour guide. She was very attentive at all times to all the groups needs and we had a group of 12. She was very easy to get along with, very personable and just happy to make this experience for us. The pictures you get on the tour, the cool Fiat Garage, and the wonderful lunch make this a great trip. The Vespas were well kept and Alex ran point when needed to always ensure traffic safety. The stop overlooking Florence was perfect and we couldn’t have been happier with the tour.
Miri was a wonderful guide. Great tour run by great people. Would like the experience again.
Had a great tour with Miri! Beautiful views and lovely lunch!
This was the best part of our trip, and our guide Gabriel and Miri made the trip SO fun! The vespas were new and nice, the food was great, and the views were spectacular! We hung out with Miri most of the time, and she was so nice, willing to take pictures for us, and tried to make the trip special every time she could
Miri was awesome and professional! Great time.
We got caught in a storm but they gave us raingear and the tour continued. Had a blast. Great guides Elana and Antonio.
It was a fantastic ride, good explanation and very good guidance from Miri, Elenora and Tony.. This activity is highly recommended

Great tour but just a warning if you have never ridden a Vespa before. They are not easy to drive and a 5min lesson before the tour is NOT enough to drive safely on the roads of Tuscany! My partner and I decided to take a fiat instead but my daughter wanted to try the Vespa and ended up driving it into a fence. Another lady had driven hers into a wall. It was lucky she wasn’t hurt too badly but we had to pay for the bike damage of eur620 and travel insurance including motorbike cover doesn’t cover damage to the bikes you hire!! Go figure. Definitely soured our experience.
Ride and views were great. Miri, Elena and Antonio did an amazing job. Very easy to ride and the meal was excellent.
