Come and explore Tuscany by Vespa with Scooter Bella on one of our guided Vespa Tours.
We can customize Vespa Tours so you can discover the region by Vespa. Zip effortlessly amongst the castles, vineyards and hilltop villages of Chianti. Touring Tuscany by Vespa is the ultimate carefree holiday. Our new 125cc Vespa scooters are easy to use. They are lightweight, easily maneuverable and have automatic shift.
We rarely exceed 50 km an hour, fast enough to allow you to cover a lot of ground but slow enough to allow you to stop and admire the view whenever you want, and of course parking is never a problem!
Our guides will lead you along the most scenic minor roads to the most beautiful castles, villas, hamlets and villages in Tuscany. They will also take you to the best cafés, trattorias, and winemakers. Space is limited, don't miss out!
Scooter Bella is a division of "Customwalks". Customwalks is a New Zealand tour operator with offices in Italy and France. The company managers are from New Zealand, Canada, USA, Italy and France. Our guides are local Italians, French, Spanish, and ex-pat Kiwis, Canadians and Americans living in Europe.
The majority of our clientele come from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. We specialize in developing customized walking, biking and scooter trips for private groups in Italy, France, and Turkey.
  
We also offer regularly scheduled walking, biking, and scooter tours that anyone can join.

Tuscany on two wheels.
Sixty years ago today, the first Vespa rolled off the production line, starting an Italian love affair that's still going strong. Tom Robbins hits the road in search of La Dolce Vita .
A red Vespa buzzes through a sun-baked Tuscan village. Past a pavement cafe where elegant heads swivel for a better look, past old women with brooms and black aprons, who stop chatting to smile and wave. As it pulls up on the cobbles of the small piazza, a gaggle of children throw down their bicycles and run out in raptures to greet it. So far, so clichéd, but look closer. As he takes off his helmet, you can see the scooter rider isn't olive-skinned Giovanni from Florence, home of Leonardo, Michelangelo and the Medicis ...

Vrooms with a view.
Just because it's a cliche, doesn't mean it's not fun. Pootling round by Vespa is one of the loveliest ways to see Italy. The only snag is the fear factor. Unless you were brought up on a scooter, it can be hairy negotiating cobbled streets and winding lanes. Which is why ScooterBella, which started week-long guided tours in Tuscany last year, is such a good idea.
This year it's expanded into Puglia and Provence and added weekend breaks. Obviously, driving round in a group with a guide is not very Gregory Peck, but who cares? You get to see the countryside with someone else checking the map and taking you to their favourite little cafes and restaurants - ones you won't find in the guidebooks...

Living la Vespa vita
The scooter holiday is an exhilarating way to catch the sights, sounds and smells of Italy, as Gregory Peck demonstrated 50 years ago. In Chianti, Charles Starmer-Smith follows his lead.
Tuscany may be famed for its fine reds, but here among the rolling hills of the Chianti region we had stumbled across a distinctly British whine. With cheeks an alarming shade of burgundy, a generously sized lady had flung her mountain bike to the ground in disgust. Sweat dripped from every pore, drenching her Lycra one-piece, as she heaved to catch breath after what was a thigh-burning ascent ...

Tuscany by Vespa
Will Hide stops traffic but manages to avoid a prang, unlike the other tourists on a scooter tour of the Chianti hills.
There are several ways to blend in with the locals in Italy and simultaneously max out your cool points. Even if you don’t speak a word of Italian, buying a copy of La Gazzetta dello Sport will imbue you with instant street cred for just one euro. Tuck its pink pages under your arm as you grab your morning cornetto and caffè – always consumed standing up at the bar – while sunglasses tilt at a jaunty angle on top of your head, whatever the weather. As for getting from A to B, it has to be a Vespa, the waspish scooter that transports everyone from local priests to flirting teens ...
