You can ride like a local in Chianti, but still, be back in Florence by the afternoon.
By doing our half-day tour, you get the best of both worlds: a morning spent living like a local in the countryside with Tuscany Cycle while still having your afternoon free to explore the la bella città of Florence.
The city is wonderful, but it can be nice to escape to hoards of tourists, if only for a few hours, for a Tuscan getaway.
The tour departs by van from Florence and transports you to a private 12th-century villa in the Chianti region of Tuscany.
You’ll spend some time learning how to drive a Vespa before heading out on your very own set of wheels to explore the winding countryside roads on an Italian icon, the VESPA!
You will be led by a guide who will drive with you all over Chianti Rufina and of course, stop to enjoy the view and take some picturesque photos along the way!
After cruising through the Chianti hillside, you will stop at the castle to sample some of their wines and olive oil before being transported back to Florence by van.
Meanwhile, you will return to Florence just in time for lunch and have your entire afternoon free to explore and visit museums.
Don’t forget your valid driving license!
