Great ride around Tuscany with a great tour guide.
Ottavio was an incredible tour guide and took us around Tuscany with humour and deep insights of our surroundings. The vespas were amazing and were very easy to ride once you got comfortable on them. The wine tasting at the end was amazing too, with some great food to accompany the wines. Highly recommend!

Vespa adventure and winery in San Gimignano
A perfect day! Alessandro was our guide and he was so kind, you can tell he truly loves everything about Vespa and Tuscany and teaching about the history and the land. The ride was beautiful, exciting and peaceful and the winery of course was perfection. I would change nothing about this day and would highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such lovely words, Melissa! It means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the day, and especially that Alessandro’s passion for Tuscany and Vespas came through so clearly. We’re also really happy the winery was such a great part of your experience. Thanks again for the recommendation, and maybe next time, Tuscany from a Tuk Tuk!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $114 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 From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 225 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting?
+
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 From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting?
+
Around 79 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From San Gimignano: Tuscany Vespa Tour, Lunch & Wine Tasting 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 Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. 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.
