It's no wonder why Florence is one of Europe's most walkable cities; setting out on foot through the compact medieval streets, you can reach many of Florence's most popular attractions. After all the museums, art galleries and cafes, however, why not experience the city like a true local?

For an authentic slice of Florence, experience the city by revving up your engines and zipping around on a Vespa or in a vintage Fiat 500!

You've seen Vespas in the movies, but they're not just a cliché -- these iconic Italian scooters are everywhere in Florence. It's no surprise that locals prefer this mode of transport: it's faster than walking, easier than biking, and more versatile than driving.

You'll feel like a trendy local as you zoom down Florence's charming backstreets on your own stylish 125 Primavera Vespa on a Florence Vespa Tour: Tuscan Hills and Italian Cuisine. Following your guide, make your way to the outskirts of the city before venturing into the Tuscan hills. Admire incredible sprawling views and stop at famous sites of Florence. Continue through leafy villages and poppy-filled fields along the way and finish your tour with a relaxing meal on a private terrace. It’s the perfect ending to a perfect day in Tuscany.

More of a car enthusiast? You will love this Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour from Florence, which takes you back to 1960s Italy as you drive an eye-catching vintage Fiat 500 car. Follow your guide around Florence and into the lush Tuscan hills, passing through picturesque villages and attracting nostalgic glances from admiring passersby along the way. You'll make several stops for photos, to chat with your guide or to switch drivers if you wish. End with a relaxing Italian meal on a private terrace and savor the views and the Tuscan cuisine.

Either one of these tours is a must-do while in Florence, letting you experience the scenic region in style and with ease!

My husband and I had a tour with Beatrice. We were the only ones in the group and we had an excellent time. Bea taught us about several churches, the history of the vespa and Italy in general along the course of our tour. We traveled through beautiful Tuscan hills and ended with the most delicious lunch. Perfect trip and WELL worth the money.

Very creative idea of tour attracted me and my wife so that we decided to take it. We drove along with a lady-guide Barbara following her "Wasp" and stopped several times to hear interesting stories about places around.
I would reccommend to take this tour to the people who are looking for outstanding memories from Italy! 5 stars no doubt
