This was on my Bucket List and it did not disappoint! The owner and guide Ott were both extremely kind and friendly. Every view looked like a picture perfect postcard. The villa was so beautiful, it looked like a movie set. Thanks for a great day!

While we originally booked for a sunset tour we were asked to join the morning session, and we had a great time. The guide was knowledgable and made sure we were all safe and had a great time.
Sahil_S, Mar 2026
Terrific experience, amazing guide and gorgeous views, we recommend booking directly through their website!!
Denise_S, Mar 2026
Fabulous from start to finish! Our guides were fun, safe and provided an amazing tour! Loved the villa and the wine!!
Laurie_B, Nov 2025
This was the BEST tour ever! our guide Luca was so much fun and had us laughing the whole way. We saw the beautiful country side and tasted amazing wine & lunch was delicious! 10/10 would recommend.

Riding Vespas thru the country roads of small town Tuscany is a blast. It's a bit dangerous because you're riding with real traffic along winding and hilly roads, but there's no shame in opting to ride as a passenger instead. We started with a tour of the winery, then got a 10-15 minute moto riding lesson, then went on the 20-25 minute Vespa ride with Alexa. Then we returned to enjoy wine and delicacies at the Tuscan vineyard. It's a great way to spend half a day in Tuscany.

So fun! Luka is the champion sommelier in Italy and was a fabulous host. We ended up doing the tasting after test driving the vespa and realizing the curvy roads were not a good match with our skills. A great experience overall!
Thomas_W, Sep 2025
Great experience. Luca and Alexa were outstanding hosts. Area and winery were beautiful. Vespa ride exhilarating.
Terina_N, Sep 2025
So fun, excellent and patient with is on the Vespa tour. Winery was neat and beautiful. Loved the sunset on the way back
Claudine_C, Sep 2025
This is a great tour! You should do it! Tuscany Cycle makes sure you are confident in riding the Vespa before you do it. If not, you ride with the guide. Very entertaining. The sunset tour was beautiful and the antipasto and wine were fabulous!
Don_C, Sep 2025
25 minute ride out of town in van. 35 minute skill teaching class. 45 minute ride on Vespa. 45 minutes at Winery. 25 minute ride in van back to Town. Beautiful Scenery but would have enjoyed more ride time.
Courtney_C, Aug 2025
this was an awesome day and experience. highly recommend!!! travelling italy is often full of 15,000 steps through crowds of people. this was the perfect getaway from the hustle. the views were incredible!!! I drove a vespa… my mom rode with the guide and i was jealous of the scenery she was able to take in (the other couple rode together). guide was engaging and patient. overall 10/10 day and experience - i recommend you book it!
Cristina_K, Jul 2025
The hosts were fantastic - on many levels.
They made sure everyone was safe and comfortable driving the Vespa. That’s priority #1. If you weren’t (like me), you ride on the back of your partner’s Vespa or with the host. They kept us on countryside roads that occasionally had cars, but again, they kept us safe. It was a blast riding with my husband!
The hosts’ personality was engaging and welcoming. So nice and funny!!
After the ride, you’ll enjoy a lovely light lunch and some wine. Lunch started with cheese and meats and pasta followed. The right portion for a mid-day meal.
If you want to get out of the city for a few hours and experience the countryside close up, I recommend considering this tour.
Karen_J, Jul 2025
What a great excursion! This was the highlight of our trip (myself, husband and 16 & 19 year old kids). We loved driving the Vespas in the country. My daughter rode on the back of the tour guide since she wasn’t old enough. What beautiful views! The winery & lunch were amazing! Luca was very knowledgeable & our guide Alexa was a pleasure! Highly recommend!!!
Stuart_G, Jun 2025
Alexa was very careful to make sure everyone would be safe rising a Vespa. The ride was fun and the wine tasting excellent with a gracious host, Valentina who provided a wonderful lunch and allowed us to sample many wines.
Stacy_A, Jun 2025
This was a great tour - fun ride, amazing views, great food, and great wine! Our guides were funny and engaging. The winery was absolutely beautiful.
Danny_M, May 2025
Lived the dream! The tour through the countryside was beautiful. We had such fun and friendly guides in Dejan and Alexa, they made the experience so memorable. Bonus points for them driving us home past Piazzale Michelangelo to catch the Florentine sunset!
The sommelier at the Fattoria San Pancrazio winery was really pleasant as well. We appreciated all the detail he went into while explaining the history of the farm and the process of creating different flavors. Olive oil to die for, I brought some back with us!
Note that it helps if you already have a little knowledge of riding a Vespa or something similar, because you get a couple test tries, but they only have so much time before they decide if you can be safe on the road or not (I get it, I wouldn’t want to spend all day in the parking lot either if it cuts into the actual tour).
Jessica_B, May 2025
Such a fun and memorable experience! We rode Vespas through the Tuscan countryside, took in the most beautiful views, and ended with a delicious lunch at a winery—complete with fresh pesto. Highly recommend if you’re in Florence!
Kelly_P, Apr 2025
My wife and I did the Vespa tour with Iris and Dejan. It was SO much fun! I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is out in Italy for vacation. Iris and Dejan were both amazing! Iris was so nice, she cooked us dinner at the winery, which included lots of local ingredients that they grow at the winery (olive oil, grappa, the wine obviously) which was all sooo amazing. She made us pasta, which was also delicious. She also gave us a tour of the winery that was so much fun. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home.
Dejan was fantastic! He led us on the tour, and even stopped to take photos of us with an absolutely stunning backdrop. We sat around and talked for 20 minutes after the photos, he has such a cool life story and has such a positive outlook on life. And he’s also so funny! He definitely dreams of being a professional photographer 😂 and could probably do it because he was really good!
I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. Definitely the coolest thing we have done.
Damaso_G, Apr 2025
It is a nice experience however we didn’t get to ride the Vespa which is the experience we wanted to have. The tour guide had us try them before getting is in the road going up a dirt road and he felt it was not safe to have us drive. Instead we had to divide our family and he and another person took us around in the Vespa. Not the experience that I was expecting. Before booking, make sure you are comfortable driving a Vespa and avoid paying a high price if you are not going to do it. They should have me this before booking. The lunch wine experience was amazing. Good wine and pasta was just ok. The tour was good but not at this price. At the end before dropping us, the tour guide convinced us to drop us off at the Piazzale Michelangelo and left. I thought he was going to wait for us. However the walk down was not bad and beautiful. What I didn’t like is he was hitting on my daughter constantly. This is not very professional.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Damasso Gonzales, AT&T engineer from Texas,
This is Dejan, Thank you for the review. We didn't meet your expectations because your own safety is our TOP priority.
Your driving skills were very poor and your family decided togheter to be a passenger, having an extra person as a guide for only your family is actually an extra cost.
The tour was a gift from a parent for50's birthday of your wife, so having a private tour with 2 guides, please don't writing about the price.
The guide, Dejan, myself the owner of this company didn't force anyone to stay on Piazzale Michelangelo one of the best view in the world, the van anyway went to Florence.
Dear Damasso, thank you for coming on our tour.
Best regards
Dejan

It was truly so fun!! We drove up with Alexa who was so kind and after meeting the whole team we felt so comfortable and ready to go! They are super great at making sure you are ready or offer for you to ride with them which is just as great of a choice because you get to see the scenery while riding! 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone.
Terri_D, Mar 2025
This tour was awesome! Alexa was so patient, fun and informative. The Vespa tour was breathtaking of the Tuscan countryside. The wine tour, lunch and wine tasting was fantastic and delicious. Highly recommend!
Tina_W, Feb 2025
What a brilliant experience a must do! The scenery, the winery, the lunch, all exceeded our expectations. Our guide Luka completed the day he was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate.
Jillian_G, Jan 2025
Okay, in short this was probably the BEST experience of the entire trip. All 6 of us recommend whole heartedly. Go on this tour!!!
TLDR: The food, the views, the tour, the service, the people - all fantastic and top notch. Learned about wine, learned how to ride safely and tested everyone before going out, and ate a delicious lunch at the most beautiful winery!!!
FULL REVIEW: Alright, we were traveling as an adult family which can always be challenging when it comes to planning things to do. We had two 60 year olds, 2 in their 30s and 2 in their 20s and EVERYONE loved this experience!!
First, let me say that Dejan (the owner and operator) is FANTASTIC. We are all completely in love with him. He's basically a stand up comedian and SO entertaining but a very serious and successful business owner that we trusted implicitly.
So, we get up in the morning and walk over to the meeting spot which was so easy to find because there was a huge beautiful mural painted on the front of the building. Dejan checked us all in and gave us a quick overview of the day, and then we filed into the Mercedes Van (air conditioned and all forward facing seats) to ride over to the winery. The drive from downtown Firenze to the winery was about an hour and we were so happy to chill in the van with Dejan and listen to his HILARIOUS commentary. There was another couple on the tour with us and we all ended up becoming friends! We still keep in touch on social media ;)
When we arrived at the winery, the views were breathtaking. Quintessential Tuscan hills surrounding the historic winery. The tour began with us taking a walk around the grounds and learning from the one of the winery owners about the property and history and wine making process. We even got to see the underground storage which was SO cool.
Then Dejan got us all fitted with high quality helmets and took us to a small stretch of trail to learn and practice on the vespas. He did a thorough job explaining how to ride them and explaining the gas, steering, etc.
Personally I wasn't super comfortable driving so I ended up riding on the back of my husband's vespa. Ironically, my parents did the same thing - my dad drove and my mom rode on the back. The other couple with us did the same as well. Dejan did offer the opportunity for anyone to ride on the back of his vespa if needed.
Then after a few practice rounds, we were off!! We were in town during the beginning of September so it was HOT. Like 90+ degrees Fahrenheit every single day so this tour was the PERFECT way to cool off. The breeze while we were driving on the vespas was what we all needed!
Half way through the tour, we stopped for a photo op which was hilarious as well. Dejan became a photographer extraordinaire and took all of the pics we didn't even know we needed. He was hilarious, made us all laugh and that resulted in really authentic pictures.
Then we hopped back on the vespas, continued through the hills and eventually made it back to the winery. At one point, the couple in front of us sort of swerved and in an abundance of caution and safety, Dejan had us all pull over and split them up. The wife finished the tour on the back of Dejan's vespa which allowed the husband to finish the tour safely as well. We really appreciated his attention to detail!
Once we got back to the winery we were served wine from the winery, olive oil & bread (the olive oil is also produced on site! we bought and shipped tons of it home WOW so good) and then a beautiful pasta.
When all was said an done we were so sad to have to leave. Dejan drove us back and dropped us back in Firenze in perfect time to take a quick nap at the hotel and take our time getting ready for evening activities and dinner.
If you've made it this far, do not book with anyone else. This is the one you want, I guarantee it. You will not be sorry!!!

Great experience. Nice to get out of busy city and see countryside on a Vespa. Small winery from 1300s, very friendly staff. Luca was fantastic! Highly recommend this experience.
Kellie_C, Dec 2024
This was a great day with our kids (15 + 18yrs). Our guide, Luca was fun + informative about the food, wine + local area. The Vespa ride + lunch with wine was really lovely as well. Highly recommend this tour!
MARY_V, Oct 2024
Such a fun day! We had a group of 12 people and we all had a blast. The owners of the business really made sure to explain how to operate a vespa, we got to practice off-road, and at the suggestion of the owner, a few shared rides with the crew, rather than risk life and limb. Trust them - they have experience. The winery was a small family owned beautiful place - the tour (and tour guide Louka) was fun and informative. The ride through the country-side on our vespas was gorgeous. The lunch was great and included bread, cheese, meats, wine, pasta and desert. They really put safety first on the vespa ride and we all appreciated their attention.
alisonklotz, Sep 2024
This was our favorite activity of the entire trip! The instructions and time to practice on the Vespa ahead of time were very helpful — and the our Vespa guides were so fun. Our guide at the winery was incredibly knowledgeable and the wine and food was delicious!
Glen_D, Sep 2024
From a safety standpoint, they did an excellent job to assess people's riding skills and determine if a person was safe to ride. And for those safe to ride, they made the ride route the most appropriate for skill level of the group. Impressive job on this front.
The ride itself was absolutely fun and with the views and the countryside, absolutely what someone dreams of for riding a vespa in Tuscany.
What really brings the experience down is the wine tasting. The winery is absolutely fantastic and beautiful. The sommelier seemed disinterested and not enthusiastic about the wines they had us try. He seemed to be going through the motions. I was looking forward to trying the wine at the small production winery, and I would have bought bottles even if only to have a memory of the experience.
