Hi there,
If you want a chilled ride out in the country with a brilliant guide and then to be treated to a lovely family produced wine with snacks! Then this is definitely for you!!
Fun day! Joel did a nice job giving us ideas for dinner. He also dropped us off near Michaelango park and rose garden. They were able to provide us a private tour for our family!
My absolute favorite tour on my Tuscany vacation! Dejan was incredible! Helpful, but also very funny!
The drive was nice and Dejan took time to get to know each of us. Asking name, where we were from, and what jobs we had and followed it up with questions to get to know us.
Marco did a fabulous job teaching us about wine and even food. He did an incredible job cooking!
Everyone had to pass a driving test, two people in my group could not, but they didn’t mind because they got to ride with an instructor and still enjoy the Tuscan view from Vespa.
Lunch was phenomenal! Had a nice cheese and meat board and then a fabulous pasta dish with lots of wine.
Would highly recommend this tour.
Dajn, Alexis, and Mario were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! This wasn’t an outstanding experience riding Vespas through the Tuscany countryside. The winery, tour, and tastings with Mario were 5-stars! Thank you to Tuscany Cycle for a fabulous and memorable afternoon!
This is the tour to experience the true Italian countryside at its finest. The tour begins at a lovely private farm and vineyard in the Chianti region. There is a private tour of the winery with a sommelier followed by a relaxing Vespa tour of the picturesque Italian countryside. The Vespa ride is capped by wine and lunch in a beautiful setting. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.
It was a great experience. It would have been nice to see more of the vineyard during the tour. Also, it would have been nice to have the lunch outdoors.
Don’t provide much training on the Vespa and then don’t let you ride unless you pass their test. Wasted $600 on antipasto and pasta with a good view.

Hi Dirk,
We are sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. As explained before the tour, safety is our priority for both guests and guides. We always provide an introduction and practice session before leaving Florence, and only guests who are able to confidently control the Vespa can continue driving on the road.
Unfortunately, after the training, you were not able to safely operate the Vespa, so we offered you the possibility to still enjoy the experience as a passenger with one of our guides. Your response to this offer was "no way am I riding b%@ seat" so we allowed for you to join our wine tasting tour instead. Meanwhile, your wife opted in to join the tour and had a great time enjoying the countryside, food, and views. When we stopped with the Vespa group her exact quote was "My husband is missing out! This is awesome!"
We understand your disappointment, but the riding assessment is there to protect everyone on the tour, especially guests with no previous Vespa experience and our guides felt you would be a danger to yourself and others out on the road.

What an adventure!!! Alexa and Odd (yes, Odd) were our guide and host for this tour, which was nothing short of amazeballs.
My wife was very nervous, but with some coaching and training, we navigated the Tuscan countryside, drinking in some incredible scenery, with incredible wine, food, and conversation with new friends.
I can’t recommend this tour enough. We had so much fun and was such a great way to start our day.
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.
Terrific experience, amazing guide and gorgeous views, we recommend booking directly through their website!!
Fabulous from start to finish! Our guides were fun, safe and provided an amazing tour! Loved the villa and the wine!!
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!
Great experience. Luca and Alexa were outstanding hosts. Area and winery were beautiful. Vespa ride exhilarating.
So fun, excellent and patient with is on the Vespa tour. Winery was neat and beautiful. Loved the sunset on the way back
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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).
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!
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.
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.

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.
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!
