I am glad I read some of the other reviews prior to going on this tour. I feel like the reviews are accurate. This is a good tour. I wouldn't call it anything special. The tour guides do not do any training on the Vespa so make sure you know how to drive them prior to going. You are given one chance to prove you can drive it, if you don't do it perfectly, they will not let you drive. There is very little information given on this tour by the guide. Much of the time is spent in the stops along the way. We, personally, enjoyed seeing a couple smaller villages and enjoyed the relaxing pace of the tour. BUT, do not take this tour if you are expecting a wine tasting day (we only went to one winery and we had a small sample of four of their wines). I loved the tour, but I also went in with the correct expectation. The tour guide really left a lot to be desired - but she was enjoyable to be with for the day. You might want to skip this tour and find something with some better reviews.

What an excellent way to see Chianti I on a Vespa! Fredricho was an excellent guide leading us and stopping @ 3 towns allowing plenty of time to sightsee, shop, and experience the local atmosphere.
Stopping @ Casale Dello Sparviero Winery was amazing! Jada was an inviting and knowledgeable host and the light lunch and tasting was perfect!

Best day ever riding Vespas through the scenic hills of Tuscany. Nice stops at a few little towns and lovely vineyard for wine tasting and a light lunch

Riding behind my husband on the Vespa was a fun experience. He has experience of driving a motorcycle so he adapted well. Another guest who said they drove Vespas previously was denied driving one on the excursion due to safety concerns. We only stopped in 2 villages and 1/2 the ride was on beautiful country roads and the last 1/2 of the tour was in industrial areas. Wine tasting was not worth the stop. Two glasses were given to taste, both reds, and no tour of the winery itself. If it wasn't for the idea of getting lost, it makes more sense to rent a Vespa and tour the countryside by yourself as the guides weren't really necessary.

This was one of my favourite activities in Italy. I had no experience on a Vespa prior and just watched a few YouTube tutorials and applied common sense and had no troubles riding it. The riding of the Vespa was definitely the highlight, the scenery is just stunning and it was an unbelievable experience. The only disappointment was that the tour guide wasn't really a tour guide he was just there for us to follow and stay safe so we didn't learn much about the places we visited.

The worst experience ever. Suppose to be a guided tour and only thing he did was ride his Vespa in front of not a word spoken. When we returned the Vespa we were told that we damaged it and demanded payment. This company is run by thieves. Please beware very unscrupulous and not worth the money!!!

We just finished our Vespa tour today we were a party of 4. This company any is a company of thieves. When we arrived we were told to check the Vespas for damages which we did and wrote down all that was wrong. On our return we were told that we damaged the Vespa and told us we damaged the thing. We were told it would be 400 euros but if we paid cadb they would accept 250!! Beware of this unscrupulous company!! Besides the guide was no guide at all he drove snd the rest followed no explanation of where we stopped or e plantation what do ever. Terrible to say the least. Stay far away!!

A wonderful way to explore the countryside and small towns out of Siena. The scooters were well maintained and easy to ride. Our guide was careful in leading the way. We enjoyed the scenery and the lunch at the vineyard. Our group of
8 people on 4 scooters got along well and it read a fun experience.
