Fantastic tour of Chianti from a Vespa. - This tour was more than we expected, and our guides Leo and Alessandro made the experience complete with their preparation, description of what we should expect not only for the scenery and safely navigating the hills on a Vespa, but also imparting their knowledge of the history and current occupation of the local vintners. Leo was also a great photographer for us! Lunch was also more than we expected. The farm host family were so nice, the food and drink were so good. We were just sad it had to end. This tour is an absolute must for anyone who wants to get a rich taste of the Tuscan hill towns.

Wonderful!!! - I enjoyed this tour so much! Although I didn’t pass my “driving “ test, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I was able to ride with one of the guides (Alessandro) and he told me so many things I otherwise wouldn’t have known. The castle where we had lunch was magnificent and so special. I can’t say enough good things about this tour! Much love to Alessandro and Ben who were amazing

Breathe the flavors of Tuscany! - Step away from the city and breathe the air. The vistas are incredible. Our guides, Alex and Leo were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the region and the wine growing, but safety came first. They were also very fun, and enjoyable companions as well. Our entire group bonded over the experience, this is a must do in my opinion whenever you are in Florence.

The Tuscan Hillside Roadway - Alex and Leonardo were excellent guides. Alex provider in depth history of the Tuscany Vineyards with a passion for his homeland. Leonardo made certain everyone was happy and had a memorable photo. The lunch was an authentic family style experience and we all wanted to stay and enjoy the afternoon together.

Great Vespa Tour - I booked the tickets the day before and screwed them up. I called the number and it was sorted out right away. We were the only ones on the sunset ride and it was awesome.Alessandro was extremely accommodating and very personable. He was very easy to talk to and gave great commentary on all aspects of the trip. I would not hesitate to book with them.

Highlight of our Italy trip - Trust the reviews! We are a couple in our 30s and traveled all through out Italy and this was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guides did a fantastic job in teaching us how to ride the vespa and making us feel safe while riding. There was an older lady in our group (about in her 60s) and she could not get the hang of the vespa. She ended up riding with our tour guide and at the end of the tour, she was crying on how amazing it was even though she didn't get to drive the vespa herself. They truly do a great job in making everyone feel included. The Tuscany hills are so beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. For people who get car sick, the drive to Tuscany is very winding.. so plan accordingly.

Amazing tour - Ben was an amazing instructor and guide. He was informative and took his time with our group to make sure we were all confident with our riding skills before we hit the road. Gladly, we were all able to drive our own vehicles even though it was all our first time driving a vespa. The views were amazing and the food and wine were so delicious. Cannot say anything bad about this experience. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. I am totally recommending to all my friends and family.

Best thing we did in Florence! And we did a few great things!! - The most fun thing we did in Florence! Perfect weather, some of the best scenery in the world and absolutely brilliant guides. Our 2 superb English ex pat guides, Angus and Ben, made the tour fun, amusing and informative with never a dull moment and total professionalism throughout. The views were stunning, the Vespers smooth and quick (without being at all scary) and the stop-off for lunch at Grazia's villa for some fantastic home-made cooking and local wine crowned the day. We also shared the tour with a lovely group of American tourists. I learned so much from Ben: from local history to wine producing, from horticulture to pronunciation and also where else to visit. This is a really valuable opportunity for those on a short trip to get out of the city just for half a day to taste a little of the true Tuscany. For anyone worried about riding the scooters: you will be given excellent training and a thorough safety briefing - it really is just like riding a pedal bike but with a small engine, no gears to worry about and no effort up those winding hills! If anyone doesn't feel 100% comfortable, there's always the option to ride pillion with your partner or the guide or someone else. And it's not just for youngsters either - I am 60, my wife is 50 and we had a great time - and we shared our tour with others of all ages who enjoyed it just as much. Worth every penny. Don't miss.
