We would give 10 stars, if we could. We were on the Vespa tour today with Vincenzo as our guide. The tour was absolutly amazing, so much fun and beautiful scenery. Vincenzo is an amazing guide!! So much fun to be around and we learned a lot about the region, olive oil and wine from him. He greeted us with open arms at the meeting point and he was a true pleasure to be around.
All in all a perfect day with a great group and guide.
Tina and Esben (Hey You)
Had a blast on the Vespa tour. It was my dream to drive around Italy in a Vespa. Wine tasting was well organized. Got to try 9 different wines. Irene was an amazing tour guide and I highly recommend this tour!
This is a really great tour! They take great care to make sure you understand the Vespa/safety and the tour itself is great- we saw so much in one day. Andrea was our guide and he is great. And the stop for lunch was super special (traditional fare which was fun to try). Thank you!
