Fantastic experience
My Fiancé and I had an amazing vespa trip going into the Chianti hillside. Our host was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining and the other instructor was equally as friendly and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable before we set off. We had a great group of people all of mixed ages. We got stuck in a storm on the way back down but that just added to the experience and we always felt in capable hands. The wine tasting and meal were very enjoyable. We would highly recommend. Thank you, Rachel and Chris from the UK.

Lots of fun! Easy way to see countryside of Tuscany
We had booked the Vespa option however it was rainy that day so we ended up driving the Fiat - Topolino car. It was fun and relaxing drive through the Tuscan countryside. Stopped for about one hour in a village for free time before heading to the winery for our meal and tasting. Excellent! Wine and food were amazing. Easy pick up within Florence to drive us to the garage to pick up our Topolino. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Best Tuscan experience ever!
We had heard that the Vespa tour was a lot of fun and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived at the gathering place, we knew we had made the right decision. Our tour guide Hilaria was funny, and informative and gave us quite a history lesson on the way to our spot in Tuscany where we were given a Vespa driving test. Our second tour guide, Tomas suggested that I not ride a Vespa as I was too nervous, so I opted to drive the Topolino car instead, while my husband rode a vespa. That was great with me as they wanted me to be safe, as did I. We drove around the beautiful countryside and then had lunch at a beautiful vineyard, which also included an olive oil tasting and Wine tasting. I have to say that this was the best experience we have had and we had so much fun with everyone that we met. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,907 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal?
+
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 Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal?
+
Around 667 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal 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 Florence 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 Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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.
What is included in Florence Chianti Vespa Tour with Wine Tasting & Meal?
+

+
Via dei Vagellai 22 (red), at the corner of Piazza Mentana (across from the Arno River) Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes before tour departure Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
