After a basic orientation, there will be a driving test that will help our guides deciding if all the participants will be able to drive safely their own vespa. The ones that will not pass this test and those who had already decided not to drive, will be passengers with our guides. Couples may decide to share a vespa. This is possible only in the case the driver is well experienced. Childrens and minors in general, will partecipate as passengers.
