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 Rosa

På Vespa i Toscana | Expa Travel

You arrive at the classic Tuscan Villa Rosa and check in from 15:00. It is easy to get into holiday mode here – take a dip in the pool, find a shady spot in the garden, or simply enjoy the peace and the rural surroundings.
Lunch is on your own (not included).

Early in the evening, the group gathers for a briefing on the Vespas, 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 lies ahead.
Starting tomorrow, it’s less about getting there quickly and more about the ride itself. The Vespas make it easy to slow down and enjoy the road along the way.

The evening winds down with a relaxed aperitivo together – a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers 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.

AccommodationVilla Rosa

Day 2Towards 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 route follows low-traffic country roads that are enjoyable 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 recommend 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 do some people-watching before continuing the journey.

The group is back in the Lucca area around 17:00, with time for a dip in the pool and a nice drink before the evening.

A varied day filled with the joy of riding, coastal life, and scenic 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 hops back on the Vespas and rides out into the countryside surrounding Lucca. The day is spent on country roads winding between olive groves, vineyards, and small farms, where the ride itself is part of the experience. The pace is comfortable, making it easy to let your eyes wander and notice the details along the way.

Today's destination is Montecarlo, a small medieval village east of Lucca, known for wine production and a compact historic center within the 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 wander around before moving on.

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

Day 4Garfagnana and surrounding mountains

Barga i Alpi Apuane i Toscana, Italia | Expa Travel

On this day, the journey heads north into Garfagnana, the mountainous region north of Lucca. The landscape changes along the way, with deeper valleys, steeper mountain slopes, and fewer settlements. Here you ride through an area less visited than the rest of Tuscany, offering a completely different type of terrain and riding experience.

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

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