1
Your tour begins in Florence
Slip away from the city near Santa Croce to find your tour leader. After a quick check-in, hop into a van transfer and watch Florence fade, trading stone streets for open sky and Tuscan hills. -
2
Get grounded on your Vespa with a safety briefing
Once in the Chianti countryside, buckle your helmet and begin a hands-on Vespa orientation. Your guide walks you through cornering and braking, then lines everyone up so you feel confident before your ride. -
3
Chase Chianti’s curves on quiet backroads
Follow your guide along vineyard lanes and olive-grove ridgelines, leaning into smooth bends as the air turns greener and sweeter. Between stretches of riding, pull over for photo stops and take in wide views that feel almost painted. -
4
Enjoy a Tuscan lunch with wine and olive oil tasting
Stop at a winery or historic villa and slow down the pace for awhile. Over a light lunch, taste Chianti Classico and extra virgin olive oil, learning what you’re tasting as you indulge in local ingredients. -

Your tour ends at Via Ghibellina 34/R, Florence
By afternoon, finish your vespa tour, and settle back into the van transfer. Return to the original meeting point feeling sun-warmed and slightly exhilarated, with great memories from your adventure on the road.
