Hit the open road on this guided tour of Puglia (“Apulia” for the Brits), southern Italy’s hottest tourist destination.  Your guide will lead you along quiet backroads amongst olive groves and vineyards to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello, where we spend two nights. Alberobello is famous for its conically shaped “trullo” houses, which are unique to the region and impart a fairytale feeling to the landscape. Our last two days are in the fantastic city of Matera, also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Matera is cut in two by a spectacular ravine, creating cliffs that have been inhabited since prehistoric times. During the last thousand years, the locals excavated their houses, chapels, and shops from the soft tufa rock. The result is a fascinating and spectacular honeycomb of cave-hewn buildings.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Italy without great food and wine. Puglia is home to some of Italy’s most wonderful cuisine. Fresh seafood abounds as well as opulent arrays of antipasti offer roasted artichokes, delicious ricotta, savory vegetable pies, and the deliciously creamy  burrata  cheese.  What’s more, indigenous grapes such as Primitivo, Negroamarro, and Aglianico are being transformed by state-of-the-art wine-making techniques into elegant yet powerful wines that many now consider to be among the best in Italy.

Scooterbella in the news : our tours have been featured in the travel section of  The Guardian  (UK), Jan 20th, 2007. Another article was published by  The Observer  on April 23rd, 2006. Our Tuscany trip was also featured in a 3-page full-color article in the London  Telegraph , and in London’s  The Times .

The Scooters  – Traveling by scooter is fun and easy. We have a local scooter provider who supplies us with modern 125cc Piaggio Vespa™ LX scooters which feature electric start and automatic transmission. The brakes are on the handlebars, like a bicycle. We provide you with helmets. The 125cc scooter is also powerful enough for two people to happily cruise through the countryside. It’s the best way to get off the beaten track without working up a sweat! Of course, couples can ride together on one scooter (and save €100 for one person).

NOTE: A motorcycle license is NOT required to drive a scooter a 125cc scooter in Italy. A valid car license is required.

SCOOTER SAFETY & REQUIREMENTS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!! To drive a scooter, you must be over 18 years of age & have a valid driver’s license. Previous experience driving a scooter or motorbike is essential. You must arrive at the start of the trip already a competent rider, otherwise the risk of injury and hospitalization is too great. If you have not ridden a scooter before then you should take lessons or rent a scooter locally and learn how to ride it before coming on the trip. Please note: We will not teach you how to drive a scooter. You must arrive at the start of the trip already a competent rider. You will be driving a motor vehicle on public roads. You are responsible for your safety but also for the safety of other motorists, bikers and pedestrians. You must be able to control the scooter and drive it competently. If we feel your driving skills put you and others at risk, we reserve the right to take the scooter away from you. In the event that you cannot ride as a passenger on the back of someone else’s scooter then we will help to arrange an alternative mode of transport such as a taxi or a rental car, but at your expense.

Puglia & Basilicata Vespa Tour itinerary Request full itinerary

Independent arrival in Bari and check into a four-star boutique hotel which is centrally located and less than a ten-minute walk from the colorful and atmospheric old Bari where cafés, wine bars, and trattorias line the labyrinthine medieval streets. Not to be missed is the remarkable Romanesque architecture of the 12th-century Basilica di San Nicola. Dine independently tonight in one of the many local restaurants. Overnight Bari. Hotel included. Dinner not included. Overnight Bari. Hotel included. Dinner not included. 

Meet your guide this morning at 9:00 in the hotel lobby and transfer by van to Polignano Mare, where our Vespa will be waiting. Perched atop a 20 metre-high limestone cliff above the shimmering waters of the Adriatic, Polignano a Mare is a stunningly beautiful starting point for our Vespa tour.  We'll do a practice ride in a parking lot to make sure everyone is  comfortable before heading out to explore the countryside. We gradually climb up to a vantage point for a view over a sea of olive  trees that seem to wash up against the Adriatic. We take a side road to avoid traffic and ride to Monopoli’s imposing  16th century fortifications. Explore Monopoli by foot and then enjoy a lovely lunch at a local trattoria. Then hop back  on your scooter and follow the coast road before climbing up to the hills. On the way you'll pass whitewashed masserie, the imposing fortified manor houses that are the legacy of centuries of danger when corsair  pirates raided the coast. We stop in Alberobello for a guided visit of the famous Trulli Zone with a local guide then  escape the crowds and ride to the lovely small town of Locorotondo. Your accommodation for the next two nights is  the lovely Masseria Grofoleo, a lovingly restored 18th Century “Manor House” that is an oasis of calm located in the countryside on the immediate outskirts of Locorotondo. We take over the whole complex and have a special dinner catered for us at the masseria. Your bags are delivered by van. Overnight Locorotondo. Hotel, breakfast and dinner included.

Today begins with an hour's ride past a vast sea of olive groves to the Masseria Brancati, one of the oldest olive oil  farms in Puglia. Tour the historic masseria, which dates back to the Middle Ages, and then learn all about how this  precious oil is produced. From there we have a short ride to another spectacular hilltop town, Ostuni, where you  have time to explore on foot and stop for lunch. This afternoon we ride to the Baroque gem of Martina Franca to  have a look at its stunning architecture before heading on to a short wine tasting just a few minutes from our home  back in Locorotondo. Meet up again this evening for yet another delicious meal of local specialties. Overnight Locorotondo. Hotel, breakfast and dinner included.

Head southwest this morning through vineyards and orchards to the village of Gioia del Colle, where we stop for a  coffee break and a visit to the imposing Swabian (yes, Swabian!) medieval castle. Then we have another hour’s ride to  lunch at the edge of Matera in an ancient sheep corral. After lunch, it's a short ride from there to amazing Matera,  where we have a visit with a local guide who will tell us all about the region’s Christian and pagan past. Visit centuries’- old frescoed rock chapels and monasteries, as well as some of the previously inhabited cave-houses. Matera is another  UNESCO World Heritage site and is truly an unforgettable place. Up until the late 1950’s, many of Matera’s inhabitants  lived in stone dwellings partially excavated from the rockface of the two steep ravines that slice through the city. The  “Sassi” fell into ruin in the 1960s when the city moved these “cave dwellers” into new government housing.  Fortunately for us, however, the people from Matera began restoring the ancient village a decade ago and it is now a  truly unique place. Our hotel for the next two nights, the four-star Corte San Pietro  (or similar), is a chic and modern reinterpretation on Matera’s traditional “Sassi” houses. Enjoy an aperitivo on the hotel terrace and watch the last rays  of the sun play on the opposite wall of the gorge before walking to dinner. Overnight Matera. Hotel, breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Today’s ride takes us into the heart of the province of Basilicata, one of Italy’s most beautiful and least populated regions. Our route takes as across wide open plains to perched hilltop villages. You will get a glimpse of authentic Italy as we explore the rustic villages of Montescaglioso and its ancient Benedictine Abbey before stopping at a farm that produces their own sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants which they preserve “sott'olio”. We enjoy a superb light lunch which of course features farm to table products. Bring your swimsuits, because they have a lovely pool which we can enjoy before returning to Matera. You have free time before one last fantastic dinner. Overnight Matera. Hotel, breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Enjoy a relaxed morning as our final transfer to the Bari train station departs at 11:00 to connect with trains for Rome (13:14) and afternoon flights. Earlier departures are possible but at your own expense. Breakfast and one group transfer to train station included.

Please note: According to the departure date of your tour some details of the itinerary may change. This is because we make discoveries whenever we run a tour. Sometimes they are good, like a wonderful new wine bar that we want to take you to, and sometimes bad, like a road has been washed away. We, therefore, sometimes change our itinerary to improve it by adding something new or substituting something that is no longer up to our standards.  We always aim to provide you with the best possible experience because we want you to come back for another tour! We will let you know before departure of any changes to the original itinerary.

Note on Itinerary : Although we do our best to adhere to the schedule listed above, this itinerary is subject to change for numerous reasons beyond our control, such as the weather

Booking : e-mail us at [email protected] to receive a booking contract (or use the 'Contact Us' link at the top of this page), or click on the 'Book Now' button to the right.

Insurance : We highly recommend the purchase of Trip Insurance. We recommend “Travel Guard” to our North American clients, just click on the logo below.  Australian, New Zealander, and British travelers, please consult your insurance brokers.

We look forward to having you join us for the trip of a lifetime!

We will be riding about 100 kms a day, at least, therefore you need to be a good rider. We aim to break up the rides so that we do not ride more than 45 minutes in one stretch.

Previous experience driving a scooter or motorbike is essential. You must arrive at the start of the trip already a competent rider, otherwise the risk of injury and hospitalization is too great. If you have not ridden a scooter before then you should take lessons or rent a scooter locally and learn how to ride it before coming on the trip.

Physical activity is limited to walking in the towns and villages. 

Getting There : the trip starts in Bari on Day 1 at our pre-booked hotel. You can arrive by train or plane.

Air : Bari Airport (see link at the bottom of this page) is well connected with other Italian cities and there are some flights from European hubs such as London. It is a 25-minute taxi ride from the airport to our hotel in Bari (about € 25). London, Milan, and Rome have multiple airports (one serving more international flights and the other domestic), so be careful when purchasing transfer flights on different companies!

Rail : There are several trains a day to Bari from the major Italian cities (for timetables please see the link below to the Italian railway website). Travel time from Rome and Milan by Eurostar train is about 5 hours and 8 hours respectively. The hotel is a 5-minute cab ride from the train station (a taxi is advised), and should cost no more than €15. See our section on Italian trains below for more information.

Getting Away at the End of the Trip : the trip ends in Bari for afternoon trains to Rome (either at 13:14 or 18:17). If you choose to leave earlier from Matera for the Bari airport or train station, we can arrange transport for you (at your expense, about €120).

If you book a trip with us you will receive detailed information about how to get to the start of your trip, or feel free to e-mail us with any specific travel questions.

This was a great tour (as always). Marco is a great guide - providing wonderful insight into the history and the culture of Puglia. The riding was fun, the views were spectacular, and the food was wonderful. Our only question now is which ScooteraBella tour we want to do next.

Our tour of Puglia and Basilicata was everything we’d hoped for, and more. The routes and destinations were expertly planned and led by our affable guide, Marco. We loved our time on the Vespa scooters, riding through Adriatic breezes in Monopoli, quiet olive tree groves around Martina Franca, and mountainous heights to Montescaglioso. We loved our time off the scooters, too, enjoying delicious meals, informative local tours, and leisurely exploration of castles, cathedrals, and musea. Somehow Marco timed everything perfectly, so that the balance of riding and sightseeing was just right. We can't wait to take another tour next season.

A scooter is the perfect way to explore Puglia and Basilicata. Especially when you are in the hands of such knowledgable and fun guides. This was the first tour we did with Brett and Sara - and we have now done three! They make everything fun. Just the right pace, flexible, relaxed and just the best restaurants and hotels. We look forward to our next (4th) tour with our friends at Scooterbella.

This was the first group tour we have done and it proved to be a huge success for us. The scooters were a perfect way to see a little bit of Italy, having said that we felt we saw it all. The food and wine was great and every place we visited was well thought out. Brett and Sara were excellent guides, making sure we were well looked after. We enjoyed Our scooterbella experience so much we booked two years later for a similar experience on the Croatia scooter tour.

My husband and I are independent travelers and don't typically take tours. But we loved this trip led by Brett & Sara. It felt like we were just out scootering each day with our friends. We went on backroads we never could have found on our own. We lunched at an olive farm and another day an organic tomato / sun dried tomato farm. We visited small towns and UNESCO World Heritage sites along the beautiful Adriatic. Brett and Sara go the extra mile to make this a unique and wonderful experience.

If you have any questions or specific requests about any of our tours, we’re here to help. You can fill in the form below, send us an email, or call us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

This is a list of specialties that you are likely to sample as part of the program of this tour. Please, note that the specialties of the tasting session and/or lunch may vary according to the season and the availability of the products in the day of the tour.

Caffè espresso

The most common coffee ordered at Italian bars is espresso. Its quantity is very small and it is supposed to be nicely creamy on the top. Many Italians sip it quickly while standing at a bar, so not sitting or longly debating around it.

One of the most famous Italian coffee-based drinks. Italians love it for breakfast or during the morning but very rarely dare ordering it after lunch. An authentic cappuccino is based on an espresso coffee and filled with softly steamed milk.

In our tour we like showing you places off the beaten track and introducing you to Tuscan people with their personal stories, careers and characters. You will have one of our guides with your party during the whole tour. Please, see below all the guides who can be with you. During this experience you can also meet some of the Tuscan friends involved in the events. Please, see below which friends you are likely to encounter.

Ciao Amici!! My name is Luca. I'm in my 40s and I'm for sure the craziest guide at Arianna & Friends As all my other colleagues, I am a multi task personality in the company. I take care of bookings, I am one the content managers of our websites and I'm a tour leader. When in season, I lead almost all types of tours and cooking classes at Arianna & Friends'. My favourite ones are the truffle, olive oil and vespa tours. Riding a vespa through our wonderful hills is a must to do while in Tuscany... of course only if you know how to ride a scooter! When I started working for Arianna & Friends, back in 2011, I was only able to prepare a very simple "pasta al pomodoro" (pasta with tomato sauce). Now, after more than 10 years of cooking classes and thanks to our wonderful cooks, I am a very good chef (but please, don't tell it to my wife!). My motto is "smile you are in Tuscany". I'm happy and very proud when I see people enjoying my country and having fun in Tuscany. Join us! Join me! Let's have fun togheter!!

Ciao a tutti! It’s Massimo here. I’m the “first one” of the friends of Arianna in order of appearance, as we first met me when we were… ehm … at the high school! Well, the first “activities” we arranged together were those many teenagers do, like going to rock concerts (long live Metallica!), barbecuing, drinking inexpensive wine, mainly with no understanding of it. In over 25 years we became more serious adults; so serious that we finished university together and we then decided to start a business from scratch, back in 2007, in an area where nothing like this existed before. I am a natural born teacher, as I’ve always liked sharing knowledge on the beauties of the world with other people. When I started sharing the wisdom of the local cuisine with visitors to Tuscany or showing them the rooted traditions behind a wheel of local pecorino cheese, I realized how fantastic my job is. In fact I discovered that being a wine & food guide is a sophisticated way of being a good teacher, so I can’t help but love it! In the A&F team I’m the multi-language guide or assistant in all activities we offer, from cooking classes, to wine & food tours, from Italian language classes to vespa tours. In the low season I deal with the website development and content management. As I am very curious, I spend all my free time travelling all over the world and of course going on learning as much as I can: over the last few years I took part in several seminaries on extra virgin olive oil, I started a three-year course to become a sommelier, I experienced a professional training to become gelato maker and I decided to never give up in learning the Arabic language. Stay connected as we will soon come up with some new great ideas for your entertainment and enjoyment of our beautiful region! Ci vediamo in Toscana!

Moto perfecta, alquiler perfecto y dueño amable. Hemos ido por toda la isla sin problema en dos personas, ¡precio correcto!

Dani was very kind, helpful and flexible to us. We felt very welcomed at once. We got to rent two cool vintage bikes for 24 hours to explore the smaller roads outside Palma. No problem at all and everything went very smooth. Can highly recommend!

We had a perfect experience with Loco Wheels! The service was super nice; his English was perfect, so everything was really easy. In addition to that, he was really helpful with our route. The Vespas were absolutely beautiful and super easy to drive. Moreover, the price is super fair, especially in comparison to other scooter rentals in Palma.

Sending this review as a big thanks for a great service, great little bike, and really fair price, I will definitely be recommending to my friends... Shane and Melinda.

My girlfriend and I were looking to rent a scooter for the day and see the island. We stopped by loco wheels and Danny not only helped us rent a scooter, but he also showed us the best spots to check out. The scooters you can rent have a vintage look with the reliability of new parts and hardware. Every scooter he has looks amazing. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to cruise around the island with style for a competitive rate. Thanks, Danny!

The ultimate 5 day tuscany road trip with the vespa.

Italy is probably one of our favorite countries for road tripping. We already did a road trip in Puglia and one in South Tyrol. Tuscany has been on our bucket list for quite some time. But we definitely wanted to make it something special. That is how we ended up at  The Vespa Trip , which offers organized road trips with Vespas in various destinations. And yes, also in Tuscany! When we saw this, we didn’t hesitate for a second. And a few weeks later we already left for Italy for a 5 day Tuscany road trip with the Vespa.

That means we can receive a commission if you buy something that we really recommend. There are no extra costs you and it supports our blog. Thank you.  ** 

Why a Tuscany road trip?  

Tuscany in Italy is a region that appeals to the imagination. The landscape with rolling hills, winding roads, extensive vineyards, golden grain and sunflower fields, driveways with impressive cypress trees, picturesque, medieval villages and historic towns with numerous sights, attract many visitors every year.

To really experience Tuscany as it should be, you can’t help but immerse yourself in this mix of nature and culture. That is why it’s advisable to explore different places within this region during your vacation. The best way to do this is of course through a road trip.

But maybe you were already aware that Tuscany is also the birthplace of the iconic Vespa. So why not opt for a road trip with a Vespa? Just a little more original, more adventurous and more authentic than by car.

Why we chose for the The Vespa Trip?   

Dreaming of a Tuscany road trip with the Vespa, a lot of questions quickly came to our mind. What do we do with our luggage? Which places are we going to visit? What distances are feasible with the Vespa? And how do we find those beautiful routes that allow us to enjoy this beautiful landscape? Such a trip requires a lot of research and planning.

Although I really like to plan our trips myself, I postponed this trip many times because I always got stuck somewhere in the organization. Because of this, this adventure remained on our bucket list for years until I discovered The Vespa Trip a while ago.

The Vespa Trip is a concept of Travelbase ,  that offers multi-day tours with Vespa in various destinations, including Tuscany. This one is called ‘Il Giro Classico’ and takes you along the beautiful Tuscan landscape to the most impressive, historic cities in this region. The best of both worlds. When I looked at the itinerary in detail, I was immediately hooked.

Besides the intinerary, the entire organization is arranged for you. All I had to do was provide my correct details and book the flights. So The Vespa Trip was actually the perfect answer to all my questions that I got so stuck on.

During The Vespa Trip you can choose to follow the guide in a group. But you can make the trip perfectly on your own via the pre-programmed routes in the GPS. You can of course also switch from day to day! Because we like to spontaneously stop along the road when we see a nice spot, we decided to make the trip ourselves with the GPS and this worked out perfectly.

The communication in the group takes place via a WhatsApp group. All important information is shared on a daily basis on this platform, such as when we can bring our luggage to the van, when the group is leaving, where we can park during stops, … This information is also important if you decide to drive individually. But also great tips are shared in this group, such as the best restaurants in a place that’s on the program that day. I personally found this to be a very useful tool.

How to travel to Tuscany?

Traveling to Tuscany is possible in different ways. For a short trip I would recommend traveling by plane. From Belgium you can fly to Pisa with various airlines from Brussels Airport or Brussels Charleroi Airport. From the airport you can take the Pisa mover or taxi to the city center. If you buy a ticket for the Pisa mover (5 euros per person) for two people, it is about the same as the price of a taxi. So on the way back from our hotel to Pisa airport we opted for a taxi. We paid 12 euros for this ride.

If you have plans to continue road tripping through Italy before or after The Vespa Trip , you can also travel to Pisa by car.

Are you traveling from another destination in Italy? Then Pisa is very easily accessible by train or bus . We arrived in Verona and then took the train to Pisa. It only took us 2 hours. In the past we also took the train from Pisa to Florence and Cinque Terre . We can say that public transport in Italy is very well organized.  

When is the best time to travel Tuscany?  

Tuscany generally has a mild climate. The weather depends a bit on which place you visit. For example, it will be slightly warmer on the coast, in the cities and in the valleys than in the mountains.

The period with the best chance of sun starts from April to October. During the summer months of July and August it can get very hot. Of course, the breeze on the Vespa is a welcome refreshment.

If you are free outside the summer months, I would definitely recommend this to visit Tuscany. We went there in June and the temperature was ideal for a Tuscany road trip with the Vespa.

Our 5 day Tuscany road trip with the Vespa.  

Arrival in pisa.

A few days before our departure I received a notification that I had been invited to the WhatsApp group of The Vespa Trip . With great enthusiasm I pushed the button to accept the invitation. It got real! You know, that feeling of ‘yes, we’re almost leaving’! Through this WhatsApp group we were informed how the arrival in Pisa would go, such as when the travel guides would receive us and where we still had to arrange a few things for our Vespa.

However, the day of departure was not without a struggle. Our flight had been booked for weeks. We were supposed to take off at 2.30 pm and arrive in Pisa at 4 pm. But due to the strike at the airport, our flight was cancelled. We were not informed of this until 11pm the day before. For a moment I saw this whole trip fall apart. There was even a small tear involved. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. I had to find a solution. After browsing the net, I found another affordable flight to Verona from another airport. But it left at 6 in the morning, so we had to pack everything together and leave almost immediately. It was a night without sleep.

At 8 am we arrived at Verona airport. We went by bus to the train station where we took the train to Pisa. We were on the road for about 2 hours and had to switch once in Florence. So we arrived in Pisa around 1 pm. Fortunately our hotel, Hotel La Pace , was near the station and our room was already available. So we could take a quick nap before meeting our travel guides.

In the afternoon Hans and Célia, our travel guides, were welcoming all the participants of The Vespa Trip in the lobby of the hotel. There we received a brief explanation of how the trip would go. We also received our GPS because we chose to drive the trip individually and not follow the guide.

Then we went into the center of Pisa to the  Vespa rental near the leaning Tower of Pisa. We had to stop by to try on a helmet and to scan our driver’s license. We couldn’t pick up our Vespa until the next morning. And since we were in the neighborhood we also paid a quick visit to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa .

On the way back we enjoyed a delicious typical Tuscan sandwich in an authentic setting at L’ostellino Pisa . In the meantime, the were made arrangements in the WhatsApp group to have a drink with the group that evening at Argini e Margini along the banks of the Arno. Of course everyone was free to participate.

Since we were already dead tired at 7 pm, stretched out on our hotel bed, we wisely decided to go to sleep early so that we could start our Vespa trip fresh the next day. We did visit Argini e Margini the following weekend and it is definitely recommended to drink a cocktail on sultry summer evenings.

Il Giro Classico stage 1: Pisa – Siena  

After a good night’s sleep, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Hotel La Pace . The day before we were informed via the WhatsApp group at what time we could drop our luggage in the van and when we could pick up our Vespa. Those who preferred to drive individually could leave a little earlier.

Arriving at The Vesparent we saw a red Vespa with our name on it. Not much later, Célia came to attach our GPS to the Vespa and gave us some more instructions on how to drive the Vespa. I left the driving part  to Jan, because I’m not the best driver.

And then we could leave. It felt a bit awkward at first and certainly to drive directly into such a city as Pisa, but once we reached the quieter roads, we could cruise completely relaxed.

Piaggio Museum  

The first stop was the Piaggio Museum in Pontedera. This town is the cradle of the Vespa. And therefore not entirely surprising that the Piaggio Museum is devoted to this iconic two-wheeler. The museum showcases several collections related to Italian-made engines and design.

The most impressive for me was the Vespa collection where you can admire the models from 1946 to now. It’s really nice to see that full evolution side by side. And it probably comes as no surprise when I say that the oldest models are my absolute favorites

San Gimignano  

Between the winding roads, rolling hills and vineyards, we could see the picturesque town of San Gimignano with its 14 medieval towers appear on the horizon. What a beautiful sight!

Arriving at the town, it took a while to find a parking spot along the historic city walls. Walking into San Gimignano is like stepping back in time. It was lovely to stroll through the narrow alleys where we occasionally slipped into one of the many shops where they sell local products as souvenirs.  We could also enjoy beautiful views and of course admire the impressive towers!  

These towers were built between the 12th and 14th centuries by wealthy families to further highlight their wealth. At one point, San Gimignano even had 72 towers. It is the best preserved medieval town in Tuscany and is therefore even on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The only downside is that it can get quite busy. The many visitors consist mainly of day trippers. So if you stay just a little longer until about 5 pm, when the day trippers return home, the charm of the town returns. Then it’s time to buy a delicious gelato at Gelateria Dondoli without long queues. This is said to be the best gelateria in town. Gelateria Dondoli’s gelato has won several awards. After tasting it myself, I can only recommend it. We took a seat on the steps of Piazza Duomo in the shade. What a wonderful moment! This here is what traveling is all about for me, enjoying the moment.

On the way from San Gimignano to Siena we were treated to breathtaking views. Because the sun was already a bit lower in the sky, the countryside turned completely gold.

Once we arrived at  Hotel Italia , our hotel in Siena, we decided to freshen up quickly and head into town while it was still light. Because the hotel is a bit further from the center of Siena, we took the Vespa. We drove to Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi where we easily found a parking spot. From this point we already had a beautiful view of the Duomo di Siena.

Through the narrow, winding streets we made our way into the heart of Siena. We passed super cozy restaurants, bars, boutiques and of course the typical gelaterie. What an atmospheric city! I was immediately in the mood for a tasty apéro, but I wanted to admire the Duomo di Siena first.

And that was a good decision. As we approached the Piazza del Duomo, we were momentarily overwhelmed. What a dazzling building, the shapes, the colours, the details, … Really beautiful! The light was just right and it was fairly quiet, so we took some time to take pictures.

Unfortunately, The Cathedral was already closed. You can visit it during opening hours for a fee and inside you’ll find sculptures by Bernini, Donatello and Michelangelo. So if you also want to admire the interior, you have to be here before 5 pm.

Then we walked along the famous Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful medieval squares in the world. The eye-catcher here is definitely the imposing Palazzo Pubblico, considered the most elegant Gothic palace in Tuscany. Today this building serves as the town hall of Siena and also houses the Museo Civico where you can admire the beautiful, preserved frescoes of the building.

The atmosphere in Piazza del Campo was quite lively. The edge of the square is filled with numerous terraces where you can enjoy a drink or a bite. It was very busy, so we decided to return along the narrow alleys and find a cozy restaurant to eat.  

Finally, we ended our evening on the terrace of Ristorante San Domenico where we dined with a fantastic view of the Duomo di Siena. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to my visit to this magnificent medieval city.

Il Giro Classico stage 2 : Siena – Florence  

On day 2 of The Vespa Trip we drove from Siena to Florence through the beautiful Chianti wine region. This was by far my favorite route of the entire trip because here you can experience the absolute, rural Tuscany. A landscape of vineyards as far as the eye can see, historic castles, winding (sometimes dangerous) dirt roads and charming medieval towns. It speaks for itself that we stopped here about 100 times to take pictures.

Radda in Chianti   

It was already noon when we arrived at our first stop, Radda in Chianti, the official capital of the Chianti wine region. Jan was very hungry. And when that happens, we must first find something to eat. After Jan’s stomach was filled and he was able to function normally again, we explored this charming, historic town. In the narrow streets and alleys you will find many traces of the Middle Ages. Much of the city walls that have been preserved date back to the 12th century.

Greve in Chianti  

After Radda in Chianti we entered the province of Florence where we took a break in Greve in Chiante. This lively city is known for its triangular market square. On this square you can admire the bronze statue of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the discoverer of the harbor of NYC, about which I will tell you more later. The market square is surrounded by colonnades to protect visitors from the weather. Here you will find many local restaurants and wine bars where you can taste the Chianti wine.

We only did a short walk through the city center, because we preferred to taste wine at a local wine estate. I found it a very pleasant town to stroll around in. And if you’re really passionate about wine, you can also visit a wine museum here.

For a wine tasting we could go with the group to Montecalvi , but we didn’t make it to the agreed time because we stopped too much along the way to take pictures. So we just randomly decided to visit a wine estate on our route to Florence. And that happened to be Castello di Verrazzano . Do you remember the name of the man from the bronze statue in Greve in Chiante? Yes correct! This was once his castle and wine estate.

Castello di Verrazzano  

Giovanni da Verrazzano was born here in 1485 and was a true explorer. He discovered the port of NYC and other places along the East Coast of the United States. Legend has it that he was captured and eaten by native tribes. No one knows if this really happened. But this makes the wine estate all the more interesting for visitors.

The wine tasting is located in the castle on top of a hill. Just the road to it between the vineyards is already worth the trip up there. The castle has Etruscan roots and the vineyards of Verrazzano are said to have been producing wine since 1150.

You can opt for various guided tours, but you can also go for a wine tasting, drink or snack. Choose a spot on the terrace, where you have a great view of the valley. We each opted for a glass of wine and not an extensive tasting, because of course we still had to drive.

From Castello die Verrazzano it was just a short drive to Florence. This last part of the route through the Florentine hills was also formidable. We stopped briefly at San Miniato al Monte and Piazzale Michelangelo where you have the best views over the skyline of Florence . Piazzale Michelangelo is also a wonderful place to admire the sunset over this fantastic city with a drink.

We enjoyed the view for a while before going to the hotel. We quickly freshened up there. Since Hotel Plus is a fifteen minute walk from the center of Florence, we decided to give the Vespa a rest and walk. How wonderful it was to be back in this beautiful city.

We ate pasta on Mammamia’s terrace and then had delicious gelato as dessert overlooking Ponte Vecchio. In the end we didn’t make it too late, because the plan was to explore Florence further at sunrise the next day.

Il Giro Classico stage 3 : Florence – Lucca  

That morning we walked out of the hotel at 5:30 am sharp. I always love to wander through cities super early. At that time it is still very quiet and you have beautiful light. Getting up is sometimes a bit difficult, but most of the time it is really worth it. Also this time it was super satisfying. We had the historic center of the city, except for a few early birds, to ourselves. This way we could visit the few popular sights in Florence in peace.

We returned in time for breakfast and then took the Vespa towards Lucca. Navigating during the morning rush hour in Florence was quite scary. But once back on the smaller roads it went smoothly. We made our way to the town of Vinci.

During the route we once again enjoyed dazzling panoramas. Vinci is located at the foot of the Montalbano. This region is characterized by a hilly landscape with many olive trees, vineyards and forests.

The town of Vinci is named after Leonardo da Vinci who is said to have been born here. In fact, he was born in a small hamlet outside the village. You can still visit his birthplace . It is arranged as a small museum.

In Vinci you can visit the church of Santa Croce where Leonardo was baptized. You can even admire his baptismal font there. In the village there is also a  museum completely dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. You can view many of his inventions here.

We also found Vinci a very pleasant town to take a break. We strolled through the charming alleys, bought some souvenirs and ate lunch on a terrace. Then we continue our route towards Lucca. On the way from Vinci to Lucca passed gigantic sunflower fields. Unfortunately they weren’t in bloom yet. We also passed the impressive Aqueduct of Nottolini.

In the afternoon we arrived at hotel Carignano just outside Lucca. We had already been informed that the hotel had a nice outdoor pool, so we eagerly took advantage of it. We enjoyed a few hours of sun and water fun with, how could it be otherwise, a delicious aperol.

After this relaxing afternoon we took the Vespa to Lucca. There we went for dinner with a group of friends at l’isola che non c’era . Highly recommended if you like hearty meat dishes. A gelato for dessert could, of course, not be missing. And finally we ended the evening with a nightcap at the hotel bar.

Il Giro Classico stage 4 : Lucca – Pisa  

Before starting our route for the day, we decided to go to Lucca for a while. We thought this was such a pleasant city. And while we enjoyed the night before so much, we felt like we hadn’t explored Lucca enough. We took a brisk morning stroll through the charming streets of the city and checked out the best things to do in Lucca .

Lucca is still completely walled today. You can enjoy a lovely walk on the wall, and you also have a beautiful view of the city. Some other special sights that you should not miss are the oval Piazza dell’Anfiteatro. This extremely charming square used to be a Roman Amphitheatre. Hence its curious, oval shape.

The Basilica of San Frediano is also worth a visit. Here you can admire the monumental mosaic on the facade.

And then in the middle of the city you also have the unique Guinigi Tower,  where trees grow on the top. You can also climb it, but unfortunately we didn’t have time for that.  

During our walk we also came across a construction project near the historic market hall where art is now exhibited.

After our visit to Lucca we took the Vespa to our next destination.

Ponte della Maddalena  

The last stage of ‘Il Giro Classico’ was very surprising. We were introduced to another side of Tuscany. The rolling hills gave way to green mountain landscapes and rivers. We followed the river to Ponte della Maddalena, also known as the Devil’s Bridge. This beautiful medieval bridge dates back to the 11th century and is the subject of several legends.

Saint Julian, the master builder of the bridge, is said to have made a pact with the devil to speed up construction. In return, the devil would get the soul of the first living creature to cross the bridge. Saint Julian consulted a priest. He advised him to send a pig/dog over. (There are different versions.) And thus the devil lost to Saint Julian and would still be furious to this day.

Perhaps so furious himself that he made sure there was almost no water in the river when we went to see the bridge. But even without water it remains an impressive construction.

Montefegastesi  

We continued along the river and then into the mountains on our way to Montefegastesi. As tipped by the guides of  the Vespa Trip  we stopped in Bagni di Lucca at the local supermarket, to buy some food for a picnic. There are no shops in Montefegastesi.

Then we made our way with the Vespa to the top of the mountain through winding roads and hairpin bends. The roads were shaded by the many green trees that grew on the edge. Very refreshing on this hot day. Before entering Montefegastesi, don’t miss the spectacular viewpoint over this mountain village.

Just before the entrance of the village there is parking to leave your Vespa behind. We arrived in Montefegastesi just after noon. It was as if this town had been completely deserted. There was not a soul to be seen. We climbed the steep roads to the highest point of the city while enjoying the blissful tranquility. Arriving at the highest point you can enjoy a panoramic view. We decided to have a picnic here.

  Secret swimming Oase

After a delicious picnic we moved on. On the way back there is a secret spot somewhere where you can swim in the river. We received the coordinates through the WhatsApp group and went to have a look. We parked the Vespa at the edge of the road and found a hidden suspension bridge over the river. When we crossed it we could easily find a spot along the bank of the river to relax and take a refreshing dip. The water was very cold! But it was so welcome on this hot day. We stayed for a while to enjoy this piece of untouched nature.

Still reminiscing about this blissful moment, we drove on to Pisa in one ride. Driving into town, we stopped at a gas station. Because of course we had to return our Vespa with a full tank. At The Vespa Rent in Pisa we said goodbye to our little red friend, who took us to the most beautiful places in Tuscany for 4 days long, with a little heartache.

To end the evening, we went for dinner with the group at Ristoro Pecorino in the center of Pisa. After the a pleasant dinner everyone said goodbye and so our 5 day Tuscany road trip with the Vespa came to an end.

Want to stay a bit longer?   

Can’t get enough of Tuscany after 5 days? Then you just stay a while! Explore the most beautiful sights in Pisa . Or spend a day relaxing by the sea . You can even extend your contract at the Vespa Rental in Pisa to cruise around a little longer with the Vespa at a cheaper rate. You can ask more info about that at the travel guides of the The Vespa Trip.

From Pisa you can also easily travel by train to other regions. In less than an hour and a half you are in the beautiful Cinque Terre where you can enjoy beautiful hikes between the 5 picturesque harbor towns with the most fantastic views. Or take a break and relax on Lake Garda ! Do you prefer adventure? Then travel to the impressive Dolomites . The neighboring province of Umbria is also worth a visit! And the beautiful historic cities such as Florence , Verona, Milan and Venice are not far away at all.

This was our 5 day Tuscany road trip with the Vespa . We have enjoyed it to the fullest. I hope that I have been able to fuel your wanderlust to discover this beautiful region in Italy in an original and authentic way.

Vespa travel (or any scooter or moped) is a great way to see a country and Planet Ride currently offers Vespa trips around the world, from Italy to Bali! Whether you want sun and food, delicious food and wine, or the chance to meet and connect with locals, a Vespa tour will satisfy your travel needs! Some of our best Vespa travel options are detailed below.

We feature several Vespa Italy tours, but the six days of Italian culture and gastronomy in the Marche region offers an awesome variety of experiences. It is a shorter Vespa tour, but jam-packed with fun and excitement. You will travel between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains while getting to experience a variety of landscapes in between. This Vespa trip starts in Serra de Conti, which will act as your home base, and is where you’ll receive your ride and travel briefing. The first day of riding will take you to the municipality of Arcevia, where you can see centuries-old villages and fortresses, along with the impressive Frasassi Caverns. Day two is spent along the Adriatic coast enjoying the sun, sand, surf, and everything else offered by the popular town of Senigallia. The third day of riding is dedicated to the Verdicchio wine region where you can try delicious white wines, view beautiful churches and palaces, and see the wine label museum in Cupramontana. Finally, your last day of Vespa fun is spent exploring the lush valley of Cesano, which is famous for its food, cheese, olive oil, handicrafts, and more. If a different Vespa Italy tour might be more fun, Planet Ride also offers trips through Sardinia, Piedmont, Tuscany, Apulia, Umbria, and the Lake Garda region.

While you’ll still have plenty of time to relax on the beach, a Vespa tour offers 14 days of surf and fun in Bali. After an invigorating first day of hiking and traditional Balinese massages, you’ll collect your scooter and begin your journey. Destination along your trek include Pemuteran, Munduk, and Ubud, as well as the villages of Wongaya Gede, Penglipuran, and Kamasan. Along the way, you’ll have beautiful views of the sea, visit the Lusaka coffee plantation, take a boat tour of Menjangan island, and visit the Buddhist temple of Brahmavihara, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Jatiluwih rice paddies, and the Besakih temple. The sights will be unforgettable, but there is equally as much to do while on this Bali Vespa tour. From hot springs and surf lesson to whitewater rafting and even participating in a Balinese blessing ceremony, you will never have a dull moment !

If you want an eye-level experience with multiple facets of the local culture, then our 8-day moped trek through Burkina Faso is the right choice for you! This moped road trip begins in Orodora after your expert guide provides a transfer from Ouagadougou. Mopeds, or “char” as they are called here, are a very common form of transportation here, so you will be jumping right into the local way of life. Finally, we depart for our adventure, traveling along some excellent roads surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Along your journey, you will visit the villages of Niansogoni, which is in a region of numerous splendid waterfalls; Sindou, with its rocky environment; and Tangrela, which sits adjacent to a lake of the same name. There will also be plenty to see and do during this trip. You will visit markets, spend a rhythmic evening in one of the villages, complete with tribal music and instruments, explore Lake Tangrela by canoe, and much more !
