Expect free time in the towns, with a Siena walking tour and cathedral entry available only on selected options. Guide teams vary; past departures have included Sandro, Ricardo, Marta and Ilaria.

“Other reviews are correct- this is not a guided tour. However, I liked how we are on our own in each city rather than having to keep up with a guide and large group. Hilary was very sweet and gave us information about each city before exiting the bus. The winery was just a tasting experience (4 wines) with lunch. I thought they gave us a lot of food: bruschetta, meats, cheese, a full portion of pasta with ragu, and biscotti. Personally I was full after it. The employees there were very energetic and fun. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Uneven streets and hills. This tour is not…”

Chianti Vespa Tour with Lunch from Florence & E-car Option

11.Chianti Vespa Tour with Lunch from Florence & E-car Option

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,453 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $125

Leave central Florence by minivan, learn the basics, then follow a guide through Chianti’s vineyard roads on a Vespa or in a Fiat Topolino e-car. The roughly six-and-a-half-hour outing includes scenic stops, a winery visit, a Tuscan lunch, and wine and olive oil tastings. You need a valid driving license to drive a Vespa; a passenger or e-car can be a better fit if you do not ride scooters.

“The Vespa tour through the countryside was amazing. Not much traffic on the roads and the guides were very good at keeping it safe. Alex and Alah were fun and energetic. The winery with the Tuscan lunch was excellent, the wines were excellent also. My wife was skeptical of riding on the Vespa at first, but within minutes was loving it. Highly recommend.”

My favorite part was definitely the wine tasting. My husband and I will always remember this as a core part of our trip to Florence.”
