We just went on the Tuscany Vespa tour and enjoyed every minute of our experience. After an easy…read morecheck in, we took a van to the winery. We had 11 people in our family and another family also attended our time slot too! At the winery you take turns trying out the Vespa and seeing if you will be a good enough driver for the Vespa tour..this was important since you are going to be driving on roads and hills in the region. (You do go up and down a steep area on actual roads with cars) Alexa and Dejan did a great job of figuring out who was able to drive themselves and who should be passengers. I'm sure some of our group stressed them out but they were very patient and made it work so we had enough drivers and passengers for our day. There were 15 people who thought they would be drivers, and when we actually toured there was 8 drivers and the rest were passengers. This literally was the safest for everyone involved. We didn't get the GoPro package but it worked out since we had so many passengers. I do suggest the package if you do not have a passenger, the experience is very unique and as your driving, you dont get to really check out the scenery as much as a passenger would but I loved every minute of it! During the Vespa driving tour we did stop once to get off and take pictures. The area is beautiful!! At the winery, Lucca took us on a tour of the winery and then provided us with charcuterie, pasta and wine. The food and wine was delicious and we purchased olive oil for souvenirs. Not enough room for the wine! On the way back, they asked if we wanted to be brought back to the original location or dropped off at a look out point with a beautiful rose garden. We option that and it was only a 10 minute walk back to the heart of Florence. This was one of our favorite things we did in Florence and for sure a top 3 of our whole European 17 day trip. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny!! Thank you again to Dejan, Alexa and Lucca for the wonderful day!!!

Preface: I booked this tour for myself, my husband and 2 teenage boys. In my mind, I thought it…read morewould be a leisurely ride through Tuscany like you see in the movies. That's what I thought...until we arrived in Tuscany the day before and drove through the tiniest, windiest roads with local Italian drivers! So you can imagine how nervous I was when we checked into the store before the tour. I didn't want to cancel because it was something my husband and older son wanted to do. We met Mauricio and Alexa at the store. Both were really friendly and Alexa was straightforward with me. She warned me it would be the same conditions riding the vespa, as it was when we drove the day earlier. But she said they would assess our skills once we got to the location. After a 30 minute drive, we arrived at the beautiful Fattoria San Pancrazio. Here they took us on a short tour of the amazing wine process and cellars. I can't remember the name of our guide, but he was charming and friendly. Afterwards, Alexa and Mauricio took us to the driveway to take the driving test. No one in our 12 person group drove a Vespa before (or recently), so Alexa did a short demonstration. I, of course, didn't pass the 1st time but I was totally ok with it. The vespa is not easy to drivr at all. I definitely wouldn't be confident driving my younger son behind me. Out of the group, only 4 people passed as drivers. At no point was anyone upset or mad, in fact, I think we were all relieved to know that Alexa and Mauricio were looking out for our safety and those around us. They made arrangements for everyone to ride with another driver and then we we were off. I was paired up with Marco, one of the senior workers at San Pancrazio. He was amazing and I learned so much about his passion for the products they make. I was completely terrified the entire time, but he made me feel safe. We stopped for pictures halfway through and then made our way back for lunch. Lunch was simple but satisfying and we got to try some excellent wines. I even bought 2 bottles and a bottle of olive oil. Overall, I think this is an amazing experience that everyone should try. I don't understand the bad reviews regarding not being able to drive. The company is all about safety and they really care about the people on their tours. On our ride, there was an inpatient local truck and car tailing behind us. If you weren't condidently driving the vespa, someone could've gotten hurt. They are protecting you, as well as their livelihood! When I come back to Florence, I will definitely do another of their tours (just as long as I'm not driving the vespa myself lol). Thank you to the staff of Tuscany Cycle and Fattoria San Pancrazio for an unforgettable time.

Another issue, they have waaaay more bike rentals than GPS, so you might have to jerry-rig your phone to the bike like we did. Definitely would be a five star if the gear wasn't so gross.

Fair warning, the entrance isn't very clearly marked. It looks just like a business front and I was confused as to how entering the park would actually work. I didn't do much research (which is a shock I know) into this garden before coming and was a bit daunted by the uphill climb. From the entrance, I assumed there would be a funicular or something. I was wrong. Not only am I not in shape, but I've been having some medical issues, and I was terrified I just paid an entrance fee to a park that I cannot check out. Luckily, the switchbacks are super gentle. We could hardly "feel" walking up this hill. There was also a lot to look at as we walked up so it was really a beautiful "hike." We were confused a bit by the signs and how far the garden went up. We weren't the only ones either because two couples past us while we rested on a bench, wondering if they were going the "right way" as well. I was expecting a bit more "garden" but got more "trees and shrubs" but I think this place is worth the hike just for the views of Florence alone.
