Yes! Our Vespas are 125cc. To be able to drive them in Italy, you need a car driving license (B) or a motorbike driving license (A). The AM licence is not sufficient.
You must have a European driving licence. If you don't have one, you are obliged to have an international driving licence, which you can apply for in your country.
The choice is yours! You get a road book at the beginning of the week with the stops and interesting facts listed. If you prefer to ride solo, you can book the GPS in which all routes are loaded. This way you'll easily pass the most beautiful tracks and most interesting stops.
Do you prefer to follow the guide? Great! Follow the group and let them lead you along the routes while you enjoy the views along the way even more.
You are automatically insured for damage to third parties with your Vespa.
For damage to your own Vespa you have two choices. Either you choose the omnium insurance (€ 89 per Vespa), where the own risk is € 0. If you don't want this insurance, a deposit of € 500 is required for which you are liable.
In the event of an accident with your Vespa, you are automatically insured for the damage caused to third parties. However, any damage you might have suffered yourself, does not fall under this insurance. This is usually covered by your own travel or medical insurance. Don't have this? Then you can book a travel insurance through Travelbase. Feel free to ask!
Damage to your own Vespa is insured if you choose the omnium damage insurance.

Throughout the trip you will have your own 125cc Vespa at your disposal. You receive it the morning after your arrival day and you bring it back on the last Vespa day in the evening.
If you want to receive the keys of the Vespa a bit earlier, or want to keep it a bit longer, you can choose for the 'Early Pick-Up' and/or 'Late Drop-Off'. So the Vespa is yours from 2pm on your arrival day and/or you can return it at 2pm on your departure day. Per option chosen you pay a supplement of € 50 per Vespa.

The average age of The Vespa Tripper in 2021 was 33 years, of which the majority were in their twenties. All Vespa Trippers, young or old, share the same love for the beautiful Italy and adventure. During the last edition, the participants mainly came from Belgium, France and The Netherlands.
Generally, people join this adventure in a group of 2 or 4 people: a mix of friends and couples.
Although the target audience for the Vespa Trip is not children, we do have a few children who join the group each year.
It should be taken into account that the trip is not specifically organised for children/families, and that the guides on site unfortunately do not have the time to deal with them in their schedule.
During the day you can just ride with the group, it's easy and fun! In the evening, the guides always offer to go out for a meal and a drink with the group. Here, of course, you choose whether you want to join them or not.
Also remember that the distances can be quite long, that children will be sitting in the back all the time and that not all Vespa's are equipped with an upper backrest/trunk to lean against.
