If it were possible to give 6 stars, we would: Maurizio was an excellent guide and expertly and safely took my wife and I on an extraordinary journey through the area around Florence. Its beauty and history is well worth experiencing. Furthermore doing so on a Vespa with a driver and tour guide like Maurizio is an unparalleled experience. Both my wife and I would say, this is a “must do” for your visit to Florence! Bravo Maurizio!Posted on Google![]()

It was truly one of our highlights. Maurizio was an amazing guide who took us all over and had us stop at some amazing spots. The ride was extremely comfortable. He even dropped us off at the restaurant we were going to after. There were several people who wanted our photo too!Posted on Google![]()

If you have a “bucket list” then you REALLY need to add a Vespa side car tour of Florence to it. What an absolutely fabulous experience. We were a group of 3 couples. 2 couples were on Vespas with side cars and the third was on an ape calessino (aka tuk tuk). Our super informative guides ( our was Mattia) took us to places we would never have thought of going to, given the short time we had in Florence. We went down quaint and gorgeous little side cobbled streets that only locals would know how to access. Do yourself a favour and splash out on this “must not miss!!” experience.Posted on Google![]()

We had a fantastic time on the Vespa and sidecar experience. Maurizio collected us from near the train station when we arrived in Florence and took us on a wonderful adventure with incredible views. We are 2 adults and one 16 year old. Maurizio was incredibly knowledgeable and gave a commentary throughout. It all felt very safe, and nothing was too much trouble. Our train arrived late but we were accommodated and our trip wasn’t cut short as a result. We’d highly recommend doing this if you’d like the opportunity to experience something a bit different and see Florence from above. Communication was also excellent which really helps when planning an itinerary and also really reassuring. Give it a go, you won’t regret it!Posted on Google![]()

Absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we booked, everything was perfect. Communication was excellent, and the team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and punctual. We booked two sidecar Vespas for our family of four – myself, my husband, and our two daughters (aged 15 and 6) – and every single one of us absolutely loved every minute of it! Our two drivers were wonderful. They were smartly dressed, incredibly kind and welcoming, and had an amazing knowledge of Florence’s history. Throughout the tour they shared fascinating stories and historical facts, making the experience so much more than just a ride. They took us to some of the most beautiful spots in Florence, including breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the entire city. The panoramic views were simply stunning! We also rode through the charming narrow streets lined with beautiful old Italian buildings, which gave us the true feeling of experiencing authentic Florence. It was absolutely magical. The tour lasted around two hours, and it was worth every single penny. It was the perfect combination of sightseeing, history, fun, and adventure. What made it even more special was that this was a birthday surprise for our daughter, who is about to turn 16. She absolutely adores Italy and has always dreamed of riding through its beautiful streets on a Vespa. She said this experience was a dream come true, and seeing the smile on her face made it priceless. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for our family. We will treasure this experience forever and would recommend Vespasidecarflorence to anyone visiting Florence. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Gracie mile!
