The Vespa Trip
The best-kept secret of Italy
Your starting point in Puglia is conveniently located near Fasano, between Bari and Brindisi. You’ll explore the region through three routes, which will take you to discover the region from every angle. So let’s go! Each day you’ll have the choice to ride on your own (with your digital roadbook & GPS) or to follow your guide and enjoy the group atmosphere!
The order of the routes in Puglia is flexible. If you are riding solo, you can choose your itinerary. If you ride with the group, our guides will choose the best route each day, considering both the weather and the group’s riding experience, so everyone has a smooth, memorable journey.
Centrally located in Puglia you will find Masseria Don Sante, the perfect base for this trip. The beautiful Apulian country house offers a delicious homemade breakfast and an optional typical Italian lunch or dinner.
After a day of exploring on your Vespa, enjoy the refreshing pool and peaceful surroundings. The hotel is a 10-minute drive away from bustling Fasano, the ideal place for evening walks between the locals and to enjoy the wonderful, Italian atmosphere.
Puglia is world-famous for its rich culinary heritage and time-honored recipes! As part of your trip, you’ll have the opportunity to step into an authentic southern Italian kitchen at the masseria. Guided by the true masters of Italian comfort food, local nonnas and tias, you’ll discover the secrets of cooking straight from the heart.
Here’s what you can expect for €70 per person (cash payment on-site):

The following things are not included in your trip:
*This price is calculated on two people per Vespa. More information about driving alone can be found under ‘your Vespa’.
During your Vespa Trip in Puglia, you’ll have your own 125cc Vespa at your disposal. You’ll receive it the morning after your arrival, and return it on the last evening. The vespa is yours for the whole trip, even during the evenings.
If you want to receive your vespa earlier, or want to keep it a bit longer, you can choose the Early Pick-Up and/or the Late Drop-Off. With those options, the Vespa is yours from 2pm on your arrival day and/or you can return it at 2pm on your departure day (€50 per option).
Can I drive the Vespa Solo?
The prices are calculated with the assumption that the Vespa is shared between 2 people. If you would like to drive solo, there is a supplement of €130 per single driver (per person). So, if you’re two and each want to drive a Vespa the solo supplement applies twice.
In order to drive our Vespas in Puglia, you must have a driving license (B) or a motorbike license (A) and be 18+. The license (AM) is not valid. The passenger sitting in the back does not need to be 18 nor have a driving license.
You have a European driving license? That’s perfect! Your license isn’t for Europe? Then you’ll need to apply for an international driving license.
Never ridden a Vespa or scooter before? We highly recommend taking the Start-to-Vespa class. On your arrival day in Puglia, your guide will provide all the essential information plus an introductory lesson to help you get comfortable with riding and to ensure you can drive safely in Italian traffic.
After the lesson, you can keep your Vespa for extra practice and to start exploring at your own pace. This class costs €50 per person.
The designed routes for your trip in Puglia are uploaded on a GPS, which you can easily attach to the steering wheel of your Vespa. With this GPS (+ €30) you’ll come by the most beautiful roads and arrive at the most stunning stops.
Daily breakfast is included in the price. For a lovely lunch or dinner*, we always recommend some of our favorite restaurants. In the hotel, or nearby in Fasano, the home base for your Vespa Trip, you will find many cozy restaurants and nice bars.
*Lunch and dinner are not included in the package.
