Excellent Tour - Wouldn’t book through The Tour Guy though

The Tour Guy was the booking agency we used for this because we saw it on their website, but the tour itself was provided by the company Towns of Italy. The tour was excellent and I left a review about that on the Towns of Italy site. Booking through The Tour Guy created a bit of a mess to start the tour off, which was pretty aggravating. The Tour Guy only offers the option to select adult drivers as participants, not allowing you to actually book for a passenger. My husband and I had my 13 year-old son with us, so obviously we had a passenger and this created confusion upon our arrival. Additionally, because the Tour Guy simply only offers one selection in the drop-down – and that is an adult driver, you are unable to book the scooter of your choosing. It turns out there’s actually options for various scooter sizes. We were lucky that there was one available that would accommodate an adult and a passenger upon our arrival, and towns of Italy was very accommodating in getting this squared away for us, but we really could’ve done without the hassle of getting it squared away. Highly recommend the tour, don’t recommend booking through the tour guy, unless they fix their website.

This trip was one of my favourite things to do in Florence. Fun and incredible staff made the day a real fun journey. They make you feel very comfortable riding the bikes. Beautiful scenery and little towns. Incredible food. Just a fantastic day!!!!

The Tuscany Wine Tour by Vespa was the highlight of our Italian travels so far! Ela is the sweetest guide, and we felt very safe on the roads with her directing us. The scenery, lunch and the wine tasting were unforgettable. A must-do!
Best day!

This was our favorite tour we did in Italy! Our guides were so encouraging and personable. I was initially worried we didn’t have much time to learn the vespas but once we got out on the road it was much more natural. The little towns and countryside we drove through was beautiful and the winery we went to for lunch was awesome. Would totally book this excursion again when we go back to Italy!

Probably the best tour we took while we were in Italy. Elaria and her male colleague ( I forgot his name) were both really terrific. They made sure that everyone felt comfortable and confident on our vespas before departing. The driving was a lot easier in the area than we originally thought. The vespas are easy to drive and they teach you before even heading out. The wine and food tasting was amazing and the views are unforgettable. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out the busy streets of Florence and enjoy the country side.

My family and I booked this tour last week. The guides ( Yo and Carolina) were engaging, friendly and we enjoyed leading all about the region, wine and olive oil. What I really liked was how flexible they were…when the weather turned and started raining it wasn’t a problem- comfortable van was provided to take us around so we didn’t miss out
Had a great time in the Fiat

My husband was able to ride the Vespa, unfortunately I did not master it. I did no want to ride as a passenger with my husband as he was still a novice on the Vespa. We were offered a Fiat, which my husband was more than happy to drive. It was so much fun zooming along the beautiful countryside with the group. The stops were great and the winery lunch was fun and flavorful.
Of course you can do this with these guides!

Our 6 1/2 hr tour on Vespas would not have been possible without the expert advice on how to ride and care taken to be sure we were confident to do so! Heather was excellent, never wavering in his duty of safety first and Cecelia was very knowledgeable, friendly and inclusive for all guests no matter the age! Keep doing what you love and never be afraid to try new things as these angels are here to show you the way🥰

This trip is a must-do for anyone wanting to live out their Under the Tuscan Sun fantasies. My hisband and I had had a rough day and a half prior to this tour and had forgotten our driver's licenses, which of course, meant no Vespa unless we could produce them or copies of them. No one at the office was rude or made us feel worse than we already did. Luckily, were able to find the information we needed! A short bus ride with jokes and intros from Heather calmed us down and got us excited to learn to ride. Neither of us had Vespa experience and the learning curve in our group was steep. The ID thing had made me very frazzled and it took me a long time and several tries to get the hang of the machine. Neither Federica nor Heather gave up on me and they were extremely kind and patient. We rode ~26 to Greve in Chianti and back with our guides helping us get though traffic so that we never felt unsafe. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, wine and olive oil tasting, and lovely conversation at Diadema. The scenery was insanely beautiful and the weather was perfect - remember to wear sunscreen for that Tuscan sun! Also highly recommend a go-pro if you're riding by yourself since you can't really take pictures while you're driving - wish I had!

One of the best vacation experiences of our 16 days cruise and time in Italy

I have to write it again: One of the best vacation experiences of our 16 days cruise and time in Italy!!!!! We so enjoyed this tour. The check in process at Florencetown tour offices was quick, friendly and efficient. From there our AWESOME tour guides, Haider, Antonio, and Sara took over and the FUN began. They drove us out into the Chianti countryside and gave us expert instructions on how to ride the Vespas. Then off we went. They kept us safe of the roads, had us stop at lookout points and gave us great history information about the area. We then had a small snack and coffee. Then riding back a slightly different route to the Vespa storage area. We then walked up to a nice village and had a wine/olive oil tasting and then a very nice sit down served lunch that was fantastic. The guides then bussed us back to Florence with more fun on the way. What a great experience that I will not forget!!! Highly recommend this tour.

Great Ride Into the Countryside

Took a lesson and check ride on the scooter. They took us to an old church that was on a hill overlooking an olive Grove and vineyard. Then into Greve for a light snack in an open market. Finally back to the Diadema winery and restaurant for lunch and a tasting. Great tour.

This experience is an absolute must do for anyone wanting to see the countryside. Our guides, Sebastian and Hiather, made the trip so much fun! They are both so knowledgeable about the city and region but also had great personalities that made it fun to spend time with them. Driving the vespas was so much fun and we always felt safe the whole time. I will recommend this experience to anyone that visits Florence, even if you’ve been before!
A MUST DO!

I cannot believe how much fun this tour was! The guides (Sara and Haider) were full of fun facts and so funny! They made every step of this safe, fun and educational. From the beginning to the beautiful end with lunch at the winery it was well worth it. And don’t worry if you decide not to drive a Vespa as being a passenger has its perks too!
