Don’t miss this tour! - Fantastic experience! Dejan and Damien were exceptional tour guides. We enjoyed the evening vespa ride through the countryside. The wine tasting and vineyard tour was a highlight of our trip. Dejan also brought us to Plaza de Michelangelo to watch the sunset. This excursion was one of the best experiences we have had in Florence. We highly recommend this tour!!!

Best Day of My Entire Vacation - I mean… wow. Where else do you get to ride vespas through the county roads of Tuscany and then enjoy wine and lunch at a local winery immediately after. This was one of those experiences that I will hold with me forever. Our tour was all couples, but my friend and I (21 yrs old) still had so much fun. At first you take a van from the middle of Florence out of the city about 20 minutes, then they do an intro to the winery and the wine cellars. After that they do a “Vespa school”… aka a quick lesson on how to ride the Vespas and a trial run to see if you’re fit to take them on the road. If not, you have the option to be a passenger (either with the person you came with or with an instructor). I personally was a passenger and had the best time looking over the rolling hills full of olive trees, vineyards, and castles of Tuscany during our ride. After that, you finish with a lunch (antipasto, primo, & dessert) and you taste two of the local wines. They served us the best honey I think I’ve ever had in my life and I will be dreaming of it forever. As for the wine, it was incredible. I’d like to add that the tour guides … Alexa and Dejan… were wonderful. They made us feel comfortable (even though I definitely was not on the Vespa) and were so kind and welcoming. They also will help with recs or anything you need! Overall, I would absolutely spend the money on this tour again, as it was honestly the best day of my trip.

Great tour guides, great wine, incredible views! - Dejan, Alexa, and Luca were the best tour guides and made for a great experience. They were very informative and helpful and made sure beginner vespa riders were comfortable before riding. Would definitely recommend this tour as we saw incredible views and had a great wine tasting with great foods and wine. It was my first time to Florence and Tuscany and I had an amazing time and this truly made the experience. I would do again coming back in the future!

Amazing time at the Tuscany cycle Vespa tour!! - We just went on the Tuscany Vespa tour and enjoyed every minute of our experience. After an easy check in, we took a van to the winery. We had 11 people in our family and another family also attended our time slot too! At the winery you take turns trying out the Vespa and seeing if you will be a good enough driver for the Vespa tour..this was important since you are going to be driving on roads and hills in the region. (You do go up and down a steep area on actual roads with cars) Alexa and Dejan did a great job of figuring out who was able to drive themselves and who should be passengers. I'm sure some of our group stressed them out but they were very patient and made it work so we had enough drivers and passengers for our day. There were 15 people who thought they would be drivers, and when we actually toured there was 8 drivers and the rest were passengers. This literally was the safest for everyone involved. We didn't get the GoPro package but it worked out since we had so many passengers. I do suggest the package if you do not have a passenger, the experience is very unique and as your driving, you dont get to really check out the scenery as much as a passenger would but I loved every minute of it! During the Vespa driving tour we did stop once to get off and take pictures. The area is beautiful!! At the winery, Lucca took us on a tour of the winery and then provided us with charcuterie, pasta and wine. The food and wine was delicious and we purchased olive oil for souvenirs. Not enough room for the wine! On the way back, they asked if we wanted to be brought back to the original location or dropped off at a look out point with a beautiful rose garden. We option that and it was only a 10 minute walk back to the heart of Florence. This was one of our favorite things we did in Florence and for sure a top 3 of our whole European 17 day trip. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny!! Thank you again to Dejan, Alexa and Lucca for the wonderful day!!!

Memorable Way To See Tuscany - Lived the dream! The tour through the countryside was beautiful. We had such fun and friendly guides in Dejan and Alexa, they made the experience so memorable. Bonus points for them driving us home past Piazzale Michelangelo to catch the Florentine sunset!
The sommelier at the Fattoria San Pancrazio winery was really pleasant as well. We appreciated all the detail he went into while explaining the history of the farm and the process of creating different flavors. Olive oil to die for, I brought some back with us!
Note that it helps if you already have a little knowledge of riding a Vespa or something similar, because you get a couple test tries, but they only have so much time before they decide if you can be safe on the road or not (I get it, I wouldn’t want to spend all day in the parking lot either if it cuts into the actual tour).

Great way to see Tuscany! - Such a fun and memorable experience! We rode Vespas through the Tuscan countryside, took in the most beautiful views, and ended with a delicious lunch at a winery—complete with fresh pesto. Highly recommend if you’re in Florence!

A Must-Do in Florence - This was a perfect activity to escape the crowds in Florence and see beautiful Tuscany. Alexa was a very engaging guide. Provided training and tips for both riders and passengers. We took a nice ride then got to enjoy a fabulous lunch at the winery, paired with excellent wines. Wonderful day, and my husband and daughter were so thrilled to do this instead of “another museum.” Would definitely do this again.

Highly recommend for anyone out in Florence! The highlight of our trip! - My wife and I did the Vespa tour with Iris and Dejan. It was SO much fun! I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is out in Italy for vacation. Iris and Dejan were both amazing! Iris was so nice, she cooked us dinner at the winery, which included lots of local ingredients that they grow at the winery (olive oil, grappa, the wine obviously) which was all sooo amazing. She made us pasta, which was also delicious. She also gave us a tour of the winery that was so much fun. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home.
Dejan was fantastic! He led us on the tour, and even stopped to take photos of us with an absolutely stunning backdrop. We sat around and talked for 20 minutes after the photos, he has such a cool life story and has such a positive outlook on life. And he’s also so funny! He definitely dreams of being a professional photographer 😂 and could probably do it because he was really good!
I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. Definitely the coolest thing we have done.

A soggy experience...but excellent anyway! - Unfortunately for us, we visited at the beginning of the massive rains that came down in mid-March, so we were unable to take the Vespa tour. That being said, Dejan (our guide, hopefully I've spelled it correctly!) was wonderful, very flexible on alternate arrangements, and super friendly. He still took us to the winery, and we had a lovely tour and lunch (and tried some amazing wines), so that part was a smashing success! We missed out on part of the fun, but it was completely out of anyone's control and the guys involved worked very hard to make it right. Highly recommended!
