The experience

The day starts at a meeting point in Florence, where you board an air-conditioned minivan for the drive to the Chianti area. Once you arrive at the starting point, a short training session covers safe Vespa operation before the group heads out on the mopeds. The ride takes you through the countryside with planned stops for photographs, letting you move at a pace that suits everyone.

A guided visit to one of Tuscany's most charming medieval villages breaks up the riding. You walk the narrow streets and see the main sites, with free time to explore on your own. The village is home to Dondoli, a world-champion gelato maker, if you want a snack before lunch. After returning to the starting point, the group heads to a local winery for a typical Tuscan lunch paired with wine, the meal included in the tour price.

The minivan brings you back to Florence and drops you at the morning meeting point. The tour runs six to seven hours total, and you need a valid driving license and must be at least 18 years old to ride. A licensed guide and driver stay with the group throughout.
