Be aware that the tour does not offer hassle free hotel pick up as stated in the description. You must meet them at the Porta Roma. From there you go on a 45 minutes long van ride to the companies office for 2 hours of paper work and safety tests before you get on a Vespa. The guide was not mean and a little off putting, but definately would not say he was fun or engaging. And be warned that the tour starts and stops on very busy city traffic streets with several round - a- bouts to navigate and we even seemed to be on a highway within a few minutes of being on the Vespa. Never did I feel like we were in the countryside. We were always on paved roads. Yes, there were some beatiful views, but it is hard to enjoy them when you have cars constantly close behind you or swerving around you. This was not a relaxing experience!!! However, the winery and lunch, was the best I have experienced in all of Italy.

Had a great time riding around Chianti on our Vespa's. Lorenzo did a great job keeping us safe and guiding us through mostly carless roads. Had a great lunch at the winery we visited. Highly recommend!!

The tour was perfect, from the Vespa ride with views of the olive groves, vineyards and hills of Tuscany to the delectable lunch and wine and olive oil tasting in a beautiful winery in San Gimignano. We enjoyed the company of 3 other couples from other parts of the world and loved our guide, Valentina. This tour far exceeded our expectations and is definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy.

What an incredible day! Book this tour! We got to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and we stopped at a winery for a “light” (i.e. incredibly filling) lunch and tasted 10 wines! Vincenzo was an amazing guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and great to be around. If you aren’t sure about you Vespa skills you can also book a tuk tuk and be driven around. The other couple on our tour did that, and it seemed fun as well. I rode on the back of my husband’s Vespa and it was an awesome day. We were in awe of the gorgeous scenery and learned so much about wine too. Thank you! A must-do!

This visit was AMAZING to say the least riding the vespas through all the different areas and seeing the views was incredible. Not to mention the wine tasting and the food was so so good our tour guy vincenzo was so good told us everything about a vineyard and talked us through EVERYTHING. I would highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they are capable of driving a Vespa and if you are not we had a couple people ride of the back of others.
