Overview
In our FunInTuscany Day you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy our most popular activities, riding horses and Vespas on the rolling Chianti hills! The horses will be our companions in immersing ourselves in nature, riding through lush vineyards, native woods and olive groves, offering you a collection of breathtaking and unforgettable panoramic views. After the horseback riding, we will ride to the medieval town of San Gimignano on our Vespas. Our tour guide will lead you through the small streets to the main monuments and squares, as well as to Dondoli world champion gelato maker! Back to the Vespas, we’ll drive across the hills to fully enjoy the beauty of the views offered. At the end of our Vespa ride, we’ll stop at a Chianti winery for a typical Tuscan light lunch paired to a wine tasting class. NOTE: A car driver's license in original is required in order to drive the Vespa. We will give a short lesson to make sure everyone can drive safely before driving out. If you don’t feel comfortable driving on your own, you can choose to ride as a passenger.

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.
