The tour starts from Florence. Depart from downtown aboard a minivan in the morning, for a pleasant drive to the nearby hillside. A line of state-of-the-art Vespas will be there waiting for you.
After a briefing with your English-speaking escort, a Vespa pro, you will take a practice drive in the safety of a dedicated space. Once you feel at ease and confident… whizz off, following your local guide!
Enjoy the feel of the fresh country air as you admire the gentle fields dotted with silvery olive groves, tiny ancient parish churches and golden-hued farmhouses.
