Perfect Tuscany Tour
Our tour guides (Thomas and Thomassa) were amazing! They were so patient with us as we attempted to learn how to ride the Vespas. When we decided it was not going to be a great idea to do that, they graciously agreed to drive us around Tuscany. They took us to so many villages and places to get the perfect photo. Our lunch was the most delicious meal we’ve had in Italy. Everything about the tour was PERFECT! I will recommend this private tour to anyone who wants to see the Tuscany region.

We are so pleased to know you loved your tour and You were lucky that day as Thomas was in training with Tommaso and they were able to drive your Vespas, which is usually not the case. Hope we will see you soon during your next trip to Tuscany!

Jessica’s an awesome guide! Amazing Vespa Tour and Tuscany Wine-Tasting experience!
My wife and I had a fabulous time with Private VESPA Tour in Tuscany from Florence! Jessica, our guide, was phenomenal in every way—fun, engaging, professional, knowledgeable, and interesting! The wine-tasting and lunch at the vineyard was amazing, and the tour was exciting! If you enjoy Vespas, we highly recommend the tour—and be sure to ask for Jessica (she’s the best 😊)!!

A must do Vespa tour
This excursion was outstanding and the best part of our 2 week vacation in Italy. Giada was a great tour guide. Funny, entertaining, knowledgeable and very personable. We unfortunately had a person tip their scooter over (our fault) and her primary concern was her safety and well-being. They also handled the fact that we had tipped our scooter with professionalism and placed the rider in a ride along scooter and pressed along with the tour. You top the trip off with excellent wine, food, conversation and a unbelievable winery setting. This is a must do!!!

Fun but not for Everyone
We found out the hard way, that vespas are not for everyone.The ride from Florence was pleasant , but when we got to test the vespas we realized that the hight of them was not suitable for short people like some of our family 5.1 5.3 . Both feet should touch the ground for balance and safety. At the parking lot ( where they do the testing , not a smart place! ) i had an accident injured my leg and hand and damaged the vespa. 2 of our kids didn't feel comfortable on the vespas so the 3 of us got to ride with our guide Gaya in an old Range rover. It ended up being a blessing in disguise , we got to enjoy the beautiful views of Tuscany and got to hear stories and history of the region. 2 of us that did ride the vespas had to concentrate hard on the rough roads and share it with rude European drivers that tried to pass them in dangerous turns and curves . The stop over at Radda and Panzono in Chianti where breathtaking and nice break from the ride. The second half of the day was a lunch at a lovely family farm and winery - La Piaggia ,It included nice home cooked pasta and nice selection of wines. we strongly suggest that only people with previous experience of riding motor vehicles will take this trip, and even then be aware, they had some serious accident with even experienced riders last year. And a note for the company that run this trip. There are smaller Vespas in the market so think about get some, so every body will be able to enjoy this trip.

Great fun and fantastic lunch
My wife and I spent the morning with Paulo riding through the Chianti countryside. It’s a pleasant ride. Really need to keep the eyes focused on the road so it was nice to stop occasionally to admire the amazing Chianti landscapes. It’s really fun to drive the Vespa, but you do share the road with other vehicles and they are powerful machines so they need to be respected.
The tour concludes with a fantastic lunch and wine tasting at La Piaggia. Very pleasant hosts with delicious food and wine in a beautiful setting.
Highly recommend.

Fabulous Tour!
Thanks to Gaia for making our Vespa tour so much fun! We had 4 of us, and 2 out of the 4 ended up not riding Vespas (I chickened out - never having ridden one before, I felt that I would have needed an hour or so to practice and we didn't have time for that; and my friend was concerned about a hand injury that would make braking hard). We rode in the Vespa "Wasp" with Gaia while my husband and other friend followed us on the Vespas - they didn't stop grinning the whole time. And we had a great time chatting with Gaia and got to see all the lovely countryside. We stopped at several villages and wandered around a little. Then we headed back to their office and returned the Vespas, and Gaia drove us in the van to a lovely family vineyard where we tried several wines and they gave us lunch that included bread with toppings and cheese and a wonderful ricotta and walnut pasta - yum!! It was a great trip and so nice to be out in the country after several days in Florence and Venice with all the other tourists! Thanks Gaia!
