A great experience to have in Tuscany! About 20-30 min of Vespa driving around 30km/h with a couple breaks at some scenic spots. Afterwards you take a bus to a couple vineyards to do wine tasting and one with lunch. Its a bit expensive but its worth it!

Best day and experience of my life! The Vespa ride was so fun and they give you breaks. They are thorough with making sure you are safe to ride. If you cannot ride or don’t pass the exam you can get on the back of the guides or they have another method of transport. Wine was good, the second place has cheaper wine. Would do this again!

It was good. Staff was great. Food was very good as well. My wife has celiac diseases and they accommodated her very well. You ride the vespas for 2 hours straight (little breaks in between) then you drink wine. Also, not worth €150 per person. More like €80-€100 seems reasonable
