Has anyone done a Vespa tour in Florence and can recommend a company?

Do you own your own motor bike?
If YES proceed with extreme caution.
If NO, don’t even think about it.

Check reviews on TripAdvisor.
As mentioned in the previous post, having prior experience riding motorcycles or motorcycle scooters is a must in my opinion. Those tour companies do give some basic instructions and basic safety tips at the start, but scooters are dangerous toys and traffic in the city is challenging. I started riding them as an adolescent but first I practiced on my father’s Vespa multiple times on an empty parking lot before I felt comfortable venturing on a real road. I think many of the people who go to those tours are not novices to motorcycles.

If you decide to do this, be sure to educate yourself on what to do in case of an accident. Also, check on your health insurance and make sure you have a designated beneficiary for your life insurance. Not being snarky, just practical.

We have one planned for May. My planner recommended Florencetown https://www.florencetown.com/77-tuscany-vespa.html
I can let you know when we return in May.
