EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Divij GaurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of the best tours we have ever been on! Maurizio was super friendly and instilled a lot of fun in the Vespa Tour around Florence! He showed us some amazing spots around the city and provided great historical facts! But most importantly, Maurizio was also very accommodating - we booked this tour super last minute and he was able to accommodate us - which we are very grateful for! From a cost perspective, this was a very affordable Vespa tour! So not only is it super fun but also great value for money! We highly recommend it! Thank you once again Maurizio!Posted on Wendy VoelkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of our highlights in Florence. It is absolutely the best way to see all of the best viewpoints and cover the most ground in the least amount of time. I highly recommend checking it out- super safe, comfortable, and so much fun! Book it- you will not regret it and will likely get some of the best pictures you have on your trip. Our only regret is we did not also get to do the Tuscany vespa tour with them...will have to go back!!!Posted on Tariq HassanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not a ‘guided tour’ it’s a unique guided connection into the history, culture and people of Florence and the Tuscan region. Raffaelle and his brand new Vespa and sidecar take you on an experience that can not be found confined by the interior of a car. The open air tour through the city on route to the most amazing views about Florence are filled with both Raffaelle's immense historical knowledge colored by his own personal history growing up in the region. Our journey took us into the Tuscan countryside with incredible views and stops along the way to a beautiful, multi generational olive orchard where I was welcomed into the estate home, walked the orchards with a glass of wine learning about the near 5000 trees and production of the regional olive oil producer with Tomas. Then I was invited into the kitchen to spend time with the matriarch Eleanor’s who taught how to cook a number of dishes we enjoyed al fresco under a huge silver oak. When you do a tour with Raffaelle you gifted a different look into Italy and gifted a friendship by the end.Posted on Elena GiulianaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this experience highly enough! I had been to Florence before….but Maurizio’s Tour made it feel like a whole new experience. Loved the banter, the laughter and freedom of this tour. We didn’t feel like tourists but friends shown the city from a locals eye! I haven’t lived in the Country in 30yrs & loved this reintroduction ❤️Posted on Hannah CollinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a fun experience, we loved our driver Maurizio, he made us feel really safe and was so knowledgable about Florence. We saw so many places! It was the best thing we did in the trip, definitely memorable.Posted on Amanda RomanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Raffaele is the best! This Vespa tour was amazing. Got to see a lot of Florence and made cool stops. We went to the top of the city at the Piazzale Michelangelo and it was amazing! Fav part of my trip.Posted on Mason McConchieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience! The afternoon Vespa ride was by far my wife and I favorite thing we did in Florence. Raffaele is very friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed the sunset overlooking the city and could not be more happy with this experience.Posted on Phil HopperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had an amazing morning with Raffaele. He was knowledgeable, kind and generous. We weren’t sure what we wanted to see - so he organised the morning for us and took us to some local places to try food and coffee….as well us took us to some amazing panoramic views of Florence. His Vespa and Side car is now the only way we want to travel! Such an unusual form of luxury. It is so comfortable and a fun/different way to experience a city. We did our tour in Summer - and the cooling wind in our faces was a delight. Highly recommend!Posted on Massimo PellegriniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super tour to visit the city in an original way. The guys are nice and always ready to help you discover something special about the beautiful FlorencePosted on Mauro MameliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was super excited when I booked this tour with Vespa Sidecar Florence! I had a tour with a Friend through Florence and it’s surroundings with Maurizio, one of the two drivers. It was a wonderful experience! I traveled in the Sidecar, and the view of the city this way is breathtaking! We got as far as Fiesole, where we had an aperitif break at a place Maurizio recommended. Everything was really perfect! You can choose from several organized tours, which allow you not to miss a single spot in and around Florence, or you can customize your experience, choosing together with Maurizio and Raffaele the itinerary you prefer.
