Itinerary

DAY 1: ARRIVAL

  • Arrival in Tuscany by car, by plane, by train, hotel accommodation in Poggibonsi or Montecatini, and overnight stay.

DAY 2: SIENA

  • After breakfast, the scooter will be delivered to the hotel (if you are staying in Poggibonsi) or you will pick it up directly at the rental desk located just a few steps from your hotel (if you are staying in Montecatini Terme), take the Vespa/Scooter and start the tour discovering Tuscany! Today Siena could be the first stop. Stop at the imposing Cathedral for a visit to the Piccolomini Library, where you can admire the frescoes depicting the life of Pope Pius II. Then take a break in Piazza del Campo, where the famous horse race “Palio” takes place twice a year. Overlooking the square is the Palazzo Pubblico with the Torre del Mangia, 88 meters high, one of the oldest Italian towers. You can also take a break and taste a good cappuccino and the typical ricciarelli and panforte of Siena. Return to the hotel, overnight stay.

DAY 3: CHIANTI ROADS

  • After breakfast, discover the Chianti region! You can ride your Vespa toward the characteristic villages of Radda in Chianti, Castellina in Chianti, and Gaiole in Chianti. These three villages are the heart of the Chianti region, the area where Chianti Classico wine is produced. Take a walk through the streets of these villages, rich in history and architecture from the Etruscan and medieval periods. Stop for a glass of wine in one of the beautiful castles along the way; Castello di Fonterutoli and Castello di Brolio can be the right places to stop! Return to the hotel for overnight stay.

DAY 4: MONTERIGGIONI & SAN GIMIGNANO

  • After breakfast, we begin the last day of the Vespa tour! Today you can visit Monteriggioni, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Tuscany, and take a walk along the 13th-century walls. Then continue to San Gimignano, best known for its tall towers. In the Middle Ages, this town boasted 72 towers, and now only 15 remain. Take a walk through the historic center crossing Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza Duomo, and perhaps stop for a delicious gelato at Gelateria Dondoli, the “World Gelato Champion”! We also suggest stopping in the area for a glass of wine and a tasting of local products! Return to the hotel. Leave the Vespa at the hotel and someone from our staff will come to pick it up. Overnight stay.

DAY 5: FLORENCE & DEPARTURE

  • After breakfast, departure for the airport or with your own car. Along the way, you can stop in Florence, the world’s greatest capital of art, cradle of the Renaissance! Take a nice walk and visit Piazza Duomo, with the dome, Giotto’s bell tower, and the baptistery. Then head to Piazza della Signoria to see Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi. Finally, enjoy a walk on the famous Ponte Vecchio! Arrival at the airport and end of our services.
