About this experience
Explore Tuscany in the afternoon on board an original Italian Vespa 50cc.
Meet our team and fellow adventure travelers at our office located in the heart of the Chianti region to receive a test drive conducted by your tour leader, ensuring the safe operation of the Vespas before setting off on a leisurely 2-hour tour in the afternoon, when it's cooler.
Start the Vespa ride on quiet and scenic roads through the rolling hills of Chianti, where some of the most famous Tuscan wines are produced, and fall in love with the vine fields, cypresses and Tuscan rural houses as the sun goes down. Don't worry, we will stop many times to take pictures along the way!
Keep riding through the beautiful Tuscan countryside and stop for a small wine & olive tasting to try the famous local Chianti wine before you come back to the starting point to leave the Vespas and say goodbye to your new friends.
