The Vespa Trip
Discover the Il Giro Classico
Your Giro Classico starts and ends in Pisa, Tuscany. The trips are always between 90 and 120 km. 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!
There are two departures per week, with one group setting off every Monday and one group every Tuesday. Each for a 5-day, 4-night adventure. Check your itinerary below for more details.
On the Il Giro Classico in Tuscany, you’ll stay in a different city and a different hotel every night. Here’s an overview of the hotels in each city.
Hotel La Pace is ideally located right in the heart of Pisa, just 80 metres from the central train station and an easy 20-minute walk to the iconic Leaning Tower. It’s the perfect, hassle-free base to arrive, settle in, and explore the city’s historic charm at your own pace.
Just a short 2,5km ride or stroll from Siena’s famous historic centre, your hotel offers a quiet, comfortable retreat after a day on the road. Your hotel depends on your travel dates, both have comfortable rooms, and a hearty morning breakfast.
Experience Florence from the modern and welcoming atmosphere of The Social Hub. Cool off in the seasonal outdoor pool, unwind in the cozy bar and lounge, or head into the city center of Florence.
Nestled in the peaceful countryside just 5 km from Lucca, Hotel Carignano is a serene Tuscan oasis. Chill by the pool while soaking in panoramic views of the rolling hills, and retreat to comfortable, air-conditioned rooms designed for a restful stay after a day of exploring.
During the Il Giro Classico you’ll drive along many vineyards through the Chianti region. This region is famous for its fine wine. As part of your Vespa trip, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a wine tour or / and wine tasting in a charming winery in Chianti.

During your Vespa Trip in Tuscany, 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.
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. So, if you’re two and each want to drive a Vespa the solo supplement applies twice.
In order to drive our Vespas in Tuscany, 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 Tuscany, 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.
This class costs €50 per person.
The designed routes for your trip in Tuscany are uploaded on a GPS, which you can easily attach to the steering wheel of your Vespa. With this GPS you’ll come by the most beautiful roads and arrive at the most stunning stops.

Afterwards your guide will personally welcome you and provide a detailed introduction to the journey ahead.
No worries if you arrive earlier than 3 PM, because then you can leave your luggage at the reception until your room is ready.
Your luggage will be carefully brought from one hotel to the next by our guides.
Unfortunately we can’t book extra nights for you. If you’re arriving a few days earlier or would like to stay longer after the trip, we wouldn’t necessarily recommend staying in Pisa. You’ll have already seen plenty of the city during the trip. Instead, we’d recommend heading to Florence or Lucca, for example. Both cities are easy to reach by train. Or perhaps you could head towards the coast and add an extra dimension to your trip?
If you’d still like to stay in Pisa, that’s absolutely possible too. Here are the details of the hotel where you’ll be staying:
Don’t forget to mention whether you’ve booked an extra night before or after The Vespa Trip, so that the hotel can make sure you stay in the same room.
