Vespa Tour in Florence, Tuscany
The Renaissance capital and its surrounding hills
Florence is the cradle of the Italian Renaissance — a UNESCO World Heritage city where Brunelleschi's dome dominates a skyline that has barely changed in 500 years. Beyond the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio, the surrounding hills of Fiesole, Bagno a Ripoli, and the Chianti foothills offer the rarest combination in Italy: world-class culture within a 20-minute drive, with absolute Tuscan countryside silence at night.
There is no better way to feel Tuscany than from the saddle of a vintage Vespa, cypress-lined road unrolling in front of you, the cooling air of Florence in your face. Our half-day tour pairs you with a local guide who knows every shortcut, viewpoint and family-run trattoria off the SS222.
Routes are tailored to your group's confidence — beginners practise on quiet back roads first; experienced riders explore deeper into the back country. Stops include a hilltop village for espresso, a panoramic photo point, and (optionally) a small winery for a tasting. A back-up van follows for luggage and for non-riding companions.

- •Vintage Vespas (automatic or manual)
- •Local guide-rider in front
