Tuscany by Vespa: Small Group Tour from Florence into the Chianti Countryside
Ride a classic Vespa Piaggio through vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages on a guided journey from Florence.
This Tuscany Vespa tour from Florence takes you off the city streets and into the rolling Chianti hills on a classic-style Vespa Piaggio, combining scenic riding with a winery visit, a traditional Tuscan lunch, and guided wine and olive oil tastings.
The tour departs from Piazzale Montelungo, where a brief briefing and a short practice session ensure riders of all experience levels feel confident before heading out. From there, the route winds through one of Italy's most iconic rural landscapes, passing vineyards, olive groves, and stone villages that have changed little over centuries.
A dedicated guide accompanies the group throughout the day, balancing safety with discovery. Several photo stops along the route allow time to take in the scenery and document the journey at a relaxed pace.
