Why take a Vespa tour in Italy?
A Vespa is not just a means of transportation in Italy – it is a lifestyle. Whether you choose a Vespa tour in Tuscany, a Vespa trip through Umbria, or a Vespa tour of vineyards in Piedmont, you will experience the country in an intimate and authentic way. You’ll ride through landscapes that seem straight out of a movie and stop wherever you want: for an espresso, a panoramic photo or a plate of fresh pasta.
The charm of a Vespa road trip
Flexibility: go at your own pace and decide where to stop.
Experience: feel the wind, smell the grape harvest, hear the birds.
Unique perspective: see Italy from a new, surprising perspective.
Accessibility: even for those who are not experienced motorcyclists.
