Tuscany Driving Hints and Tips

We provide you with a fact-sheet detailing practical hints and tips to help you navigate your way around Tuscany more easily.

Note: You don’t need a motorcycle license to rent a 125cc Vespa in Italy. However you must be a competent scooter rider. We can not rent to people with no previous scooter or motorcycle experience. If in doubt try renting a scooter at home.

Vespa Scooter Tour in Tuscany
Brolio Castle Tour
 
€140 per Vespa rider (€75 per passenger)
We ride along two scenic ridge roads that offer wonderful views of the picturesque Tuscan landscape before arriving beneath the shadow of the mighty Brolio castle. We visit the park and gardens of this magnificent and historic castle. After the visit a thirty-minute ride takes us to the hilltop town of Radda where you have free time to enjoy the views from the medieval walls, explore its antique shops, and enjoy a light Tuscan lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch a beautiful ride on our trusty Vespas takes us to the village of Gaiole, where we end our adventure.

Winery Tour
€140 per Vespa rider (€75 per passenger)
Ride up and over Monteluco hill to the other side of the Arno River. Tour a winery and taste their wines (we ask wine tasters to kindly use the spittoons as drunk driving laws are strictly enforced in Italy). Lunch follows at an excellent countryside trattoria. We then visit the lovely medieval village of Loro Ciufenna, stopping along the way for a gelato at a gelateria that has been rated Italy’s fifth best by “La Repubblica”, a prominent national newspaper. Our ride takes us on lovely country roads through small hamlets and villages nestled beneath the Pratomagno mountains. Before returning to Gaiole we stop for a cool drink near the 1,000-year-old watchtower in Montegrossi.
