Tuscany on a classic Vespa - with Expa Travel

Vespa tours

Italy

Tuscany for real – on a Vespa

Tuscany experienced at its best – on a Vespa

A social and atmospheric way to experience Tuscany

Tuscany is made for Vespa, with winding narrow roads, short distances between villages, and a landscape that invites a relaxed pace and frequent stops. Around Lucca, narrow roads wind through vineyards, olive groves, and small villages where everyday life still moves at a slower pace. These are roads that are not about getting there quickly, but about the journey itself – with plenty of time for breaks, small detours, and moments along the way.

Closer to your surroundings

On a Vespa, you get closer to your surroundings. You notice the smells, the sounds, and the atmosphere in a different way, and the pace makes it easy to stop whenever something takes your fancy – whether it's a coffee shop, a view, or a small village you hadn't planned to visit.

This is the trip for you if you enjoy active days, but without stress – and appreciate good roads, Italian daily life, and the freedom that comes with traveling light.

We stay comfortably in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, with short distances to the coast in Versilia, the mountains in Garfagnana, and famous wine regions. The starting point is the same as on our Fiat tour, but on a Vespa, the journey becomes more open, closer – and quite simply different.

Quick facts about the trip

The tour goes through classic Tuscany, in the area around Lucca and all the way down to the Versilia coast, via vineyards, hills, and charming small towns.

Leisurely pace

Over five days, you will ride on cozy country roads with little traffic, in a landscape that is constantly changing. The routes have been selected by local guides, with a desire to show you the real Tuscany. This is not about distance or speed, but about everything you see, hear, and notice along the way.
The group stops when it feels right, whether it is for a Kodak moment, for lunch, or just to take in the Tuscan atmosphere in one of the many villages you ride through along the way.

This is a social, atmospheric, and authentic way to experience Tuscany. The trip is suitable for those who want to visit unique medieval villages and small towns at a comfortable pace – on a Vespa! 

Who the trip is for

This trip is suitable for those who value experiences over rush, and who want to explore Tuscany in a personal and atmospheric way. The Vespa tour is for lovers of life who enjoy comfortable settings, good meals, and beautiful surroundings – but who also appreciate the freedom that comes with being out in the landscape.

The tour is well suited for couples, friends, and solo travelers who want a social yet relaxed way of traveling. You do not need to be an experienced Vespa rider – the routes are carefully chosen, the pace is comfortable, and the tour leader accompanies the group the entire way.

This is not a ride for speed and performance, but for proximity to the place: the smell of vineyards, the sound of the village waking up, the feeling of sun and wind as the landscape glides by. The Vespa provides a different kind of presence than a car – more sensory, more real.

For those who may have already experienced Tuscany by car, this tour offers a new dimension. The same beautiful area – but with a slower pace, fewer barriers, and stronger impressions.

In short:

This Vespa tour is suitable for those who want to travel elegantly, effortlessly, and with plenty of time – and who want to experience Tuscany just as the Italians do themselves.

Day 1Arrival in Tuscany and Villa Clara

Vakre Villa Clara utenfor Lucca | Expa Travel

You arrive at the classic, Tuscan Villa Clara and check in from 15:00. This is the perfect place to easily get into the holiday mood – take a dip in the pool, find a shady spot in the garden or just enjoy the peacefulness and the rural surroundings.
Lunch on your own (not included).

In the early evening, the group gathers for a briefing on the Vespas, offering a calm and safe introduction to the scooter as well as the route for the coming days. The focus is on comfort, safety and riding pleasure – so you can lower your shoulders and look forward to what awaits you.
Starting tomorrow, it’s less about reaching your destination quickly and more about the ride itself. The Vespas make it easy to slow down and enjoy the road along the way.

The evening is rounded off with a relaxed apéritif together – a great opportunity to get to know your travel companions and get into a true Tuscan mood.

Dinner on your own (not included), the guide is happy to share tips for authentic, local trattorias in the area.

Day 2Heading for the Sea: The Versilia Coast

Versillia-kysten i Toscana | Expa Travel

The group departs from the villa at 10:00, heading towards the Versilia coast. The landscape changes along the way, from hills and inland to coast and sea. The trip runs along country roads with little traffic that are great to ride on, and there is plenty of time to enjoy both the ride and the stops along the way.

Once at the coast, there will be time for a swim for those who wish, and lunch by the sea (not included). We highly recommend the fresh seafood! Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. Here you can simply relax and enjoy the contrast between mountains and sea.

After lunch, the group stops in Pietrasanta, a lively small town known for its marble studios, galleries and open squares. There is time to stroll around at your own pace, grab a coffee or just watch some town life before the journey continues.

The group returns to the Lucca area around 17:00, with time for a dip in the pool and a refreshing drink before the evening.

A varied day filled with riding pleasure, coastal atmosphere and wonderful stops along the way.

Lunch and dinner on your own (not included).

Day 3Montecarlo

Toscana på en original Vespa | Expa Travel

After breakfast, at 10:00, the group sets off again on the Vespas, riding into the countryside surrounding Lucca. The day is spent on country roads that wind between olive groves, vineyards and small farms, where the ride itself is part of the experience. The pace is pleasant, and it is easy to let your eyes wander and take in the details along the way.

Today's destination is Montecarlo, a small medieval village east of Lucca, known for its wine production and a compact historical center within its city walls. Here we will have lunch (not included) and spend some time in the streets, with the opportunity to sit down at an outdoor café or stroll around before moving on.

Return to the villa around 17:00. The rest of the afternoon is at your own disposal – perhaps a dip in the pool or an apéritif in the garden beckons, surrounded by Tuscan nature and evening sun.

Day 4Garfagnana and the Surrounding Mountains

Barga i Alpi Apuane i Toscana, Italia | Expa Travel

On this day, the tour heads north into Garfagnana, the mountainous region north of Lucca. The landscape changes along the way, featuring deeper valleys, steeper mountainsides and sparser settlements. Here you are riding in an area that is less visited than the rest of Tuscany, offering a very different kind of terrain and riding experience.

Along the way, we stop at the Ponte del Diavolo (Devil's Bridge), a historic stone bridge with a distinctive shape, before continuing further into the mountains towards Barga. Barga is a small town with a compact centre, known for its location – high and open, offering views over the valleys of the Garfagnana area – and its active cultural life. Here there will be time for lunch on your own (not included) and some time to wander the streets before continuing through the Tuscan landscape.

Return to Villa Clara around 18:00. The evening concludes with a joint farewell dinner at the villa (included).
