Buyer beware
If you fail the test you get no refund. Also you’re not given a second chance. Unless you are confident, don’t go first! They wanted to charge us €20 each more to use their ‘traditional Italian’ ancient car, so we followed in our own. It’s basically a drive through the countryside finishing at a winery. Little added value from the guide. Look at how many reviewers have failed the test.

10/10 Highly Recommend!!!
Awesome experience. Lots of fun to ride vespas and lots of insightful information throughout the tour! Our tour guide was the best!

Vespa tour
109 EUR for one Vespa for two people. Staff were super friendly and the tour was wonderful. Wine tasting was also great. Price not cheap, but still fair.

Vespa experience required
MUST have previous experience driving a Vespa or cannot participate. Operators were very nice but suggested we request a refund after a very short test drive, which we failed. Luckily able to get a refund easily. Wish we had known about the requirement before signing up! Imagine it’s a lovely tour if one has experience and confidence navigating windy Tuscan roads on a Vespa!

Super Disappointed, will not sell this company again.
Very dissapointed in this company. Booked this tour for clients, a family of 4 adults. 2 were told on the day of the tour that they did not pass the driving test and had to ride behind the guides. Client asked about adjusting the price from single rider to tandam rider and they were told they would have to talk to their travel agent. Really....why not just make it right then and there rather than leave a bad taste in clients mouths?? They notified me and I immediately reached out to the company and requested that they refund half the the 2 riders costs (difference between single rider and double rider) with no responce after 2 emails. Then i contacted Viator for assistance and was told the supplier refused to offer these clients a refund of the difference. I feel this is a great bait and switch scam or a company with just really poor customer service. As a travel advisor, I will not be selling this tour or any other tour by this company again. I will be sure as many agents as possible know as well. Tourism...its what keeps us all going but that requires that we care about people....you obviously don't care.

Chianti Vespa Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Chianti Vespa Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chianti Vespa Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siena is not rushed.
Is Chianti Vespa Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chianti Vespa Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chianti Vespa Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chianti Vespa Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chianti Vespa Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siena?
+
On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Winery tour with Wine tasting; Professional tour escorts and guide; Vespa to drive during the tour; and Use of helmet. Not included: Gratuities; and Pick-up and drop off on request with an extra charge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Chianti Vespa Tour offered in?
+
