Full Itinerary
Meet Your Ride!
You’ll meet your friendly guide at your accommodation and then head to our garage nearby. The guide will take you through an orientation with safety instructions and information, and you’ll choose one of the gorgeous Vespas as your ride. You’ll be fitted for a helmet and then it’s time to get out on the road!
Head out of Florence
Your private tour will start slowly, as you follow your guide through Florence and get used to the scooter. You’ll pass along the beautiful riverside and tree-lined avenues into the hills to reach a wonderful viewpoint with panoramic vistas. As this is a private tour, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to pose for photographs or simply to soak up the magnificent views.
Enjoy a Taste of Culture
Once you’ve had your fill of photos against the iconic Florence backdrop, there’ll be time to pay a visit to one of the oldest churches in the region and spend time having a look around inside - and taking more photos!
Time to Dial up the Speed
Now that you’re used to your ride and feeling more confident, it’s time to take things up a notch on some more challenging open roads. You’ll have the reassurance of your guide at all times as you leave the traffic behind and head out into the countryside, dotted with castles, olive groves and beautiful villas. For anyone looking to get up close and personal to the real heart and soul of Tuscany, there’s no better way to do it than on a private Vespa tour. Florence seems a million miles away as you ride through the wonderful landscape.
Delight in Delicious Tuscany!
It’s hungry work whizzing through the Tuscan landscape, so you'll make a welcome stop at our stunning country estate to sample some of the region’s best cheese and prosciutto, accompanied by magical views and a glass of local Chianti.
Heading for Home
The day’s not over yet and you’ll enjoy an exhilarating ride back to the city, wind in your hair, sun on your face and adventure in your heart. As you ride back through the streets feeling like a local you’ll have a head full of memories of your private Vespa tour. Florence never looked better than from the seat of one of these iconic motorbikes.
