Overview
Our ATV Excursion is a fabulous and unique opportunity to explore the beautiful Tuscany countryside. We'll drive through the famous Chianti region featuring vineyards, rolling hills and olive groves.

You will have great photo ops and lot of fun! After the excursion we'll visit the medieval town of San Gimignano, feautured by thirteen original 12th century towers, symbols of prestige and power for the rich families that ruled the city in its "golden age". We'll also have the chance to taste the famous Dondoli world champion gelato maker (not included). For lunch we'll transfer to a local Chianti winery. We'll enjoy a traditional Tuscan meal paired to a great selection of fine wines. Couples have the option to share an ATV and get a total of 20 euros discount.

Great Vespa Tour
Everything about this tour exceeding my expectations. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable, and very fun! Not only were we able to ride vespas through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, but we also stopped and visited a few villages and towns in the country. To top it all off, we had a delicious lunch with a wine and olive oil tasting.

Book this tour 👌🏻
I had a great day, mum had a great day, and our fellow passengers had a great day…. Our tour guide Elizabetha was informative and fun and took great care of us making sure the wine was flowing!
Very generous with the wine, the food was all organic from the farm we had our lunch at and was very tasty…
I bottled it on the riding but mum and the other all went and loved it… I stayed back at the stables with the dog…
Would highly recommend…
Also, if you are staying somewhere that doesn’t do breakfast then get to the meeting point a bit early as lovely cafe there….
Met some fab people and carried on the night from there…
Best balsamic vinegar I’ve ever had!

Chianti Wine Tour
This was seriously the best wine tour ever! Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing; I would definitely suggest requesting him for your tour! He made sure that every moment on the tour was really fun! Our group cannot say enough nice words about him.
