Tuscany Vespa Tours Through the Hills of Chianti

Posted By : Natsal88
This was by far the best experience we had on our honeymoon. We were worried about rain all morning but we lucked out and the rain held out until lunch, which made the scenery that much more magical. The Vespas were in great working order and everyone took great care in our learning and safety. I did several laps under their supervision until I was comfortable riding. Leo was our guide and not only was he knowledgeable and informative but he was a great cameraman as well! He made this experience 5 stars. Lunch at the castle was delicious and the wine tasting/tour was just the cherry on top. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who is going to Florence soon.

A fantastic way to experience Tuscany and the Chianti Region. The tour was very well organised and our guides assessed potential Vespa drivers for safety and confidence before hitting the road. We stopped at beautiful spots and had photo ops. The lunch and wine/olive oil tasting at the end in the Castle was the icing on the cake. Our two guides Ben and Leonardo were enthusiastic and personable. They possessed a great knowledge and passion for the area and it's history and geography. They made our tour. Very Highly revomnended

This was incredible! From the first greeting, to the safety briefing to vespa’ing through the hills to the sight seeing and storytelling and to the vineyard tour and wine tasting… we loved it all!! Ben and Leonardo were amazing tour guides.

The views of Chianti were BREATHTAKING! This Vespa tour is a once in a lifetime experience. I loved learning about all of the history from Chianti, as well as the process of harvesting the grapes and wine fermentation. We got to eat lunch and try delicious wine in la Castella di Poppiano. Great people, great food, great time Shoutout to Agnus, whose wit and charm kept us entertained the whole ride. (Also check out his sculptures on Instagram Angus Ogilvie, they are surreal) Shoutout to Alessandro, whose passion for Italian culture and history is palpable <3 I love it Saving the best for last, big thank you to Leo who can whip a Vespa like a pro. My favorite part was flying through the hills of Chianti with him, chatting about our hopes and dreams. Book this tour!

Obviously, driving through the Tuscany hills on a Vespa was cool, fun and exciting, but the guides were also great! Leonardo, Ben, Alessio and Filippo all handled different parts of the tour. They gave info on the wine making countryside, in general, then went on to our winery where they continued to teach about the wine and olive oil from that winery specifically. Then we got to try some wine and some of the best olive oil I ever had before we had some homemade pasta! Really great job!!! My wife wants to buy a Vespa now!!

Our guide, Alessandro, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He is instruction was on Vespa operation was on spot. Alessandro engaged with each of us in a friendly manner. We stopped at three locations where Alessandro shared knowledge of either the vineyard and the olive grove, in addition to pointing out historical buildings/locations and history of the area. At the Castello Popiano Angus continued our experience with explanations of oil and wine production. Our view from the Castle during lunch was amazing and the food was very tasty! Definitely worth doing!

Had a great time Ben got us checked in and told us what to expect in the office then we had a fun van ride with Alessandro talking about wines, travel in Italy and what we will be seeing on our tour. We got started on the vespas in a large parking lot then set out to beautiful wine country Leonardo led us through some fantastic scenery at a comfortable pace stopping at a few viewpoints for some photos. Ate lunch and had some great wine to finish the day at a castle which was a nice treat. I bought a few bottles of wine very good and reasonably priced. I rode with my 9 year old son on the back and he had the time of his life. This was a great kid friendly activity for people with a little riding experience.

The scenery was amazing - great photo stops. Our group was large 20+ but with three guides we were broken into smaller groups for safety and guidance. Highly recommend this trip - guides were super friendly and got along well with each other, too. Wonderful experience

The Vespa tour through the hills of Chianti was a highlight of our Florence vacation. The views were amazing and lunch at the castle following was a delight. Our tour guides, Ben and Angus, made sure everyone had a great time! Definitely recommend!
