Getting there

Out of the city by car, Vespa or guided group

Of the twelve, one names a car: on the Chianti Vespa tour, one or two guests can take an electric car instead of riding. So a Tuscany day trip from Florence by car, in the listings’ own words, means that $120 tour. The ultimate Tuscany day says it spares you the country roads but does not name the vehicle; the rest do not say how you travel.

Day trips from Florence to Tuscany countryside on two wheels are the three Vespa listings; the others are guided groups, small groups or wine safaris. Private versions are compared in the private tours guide.
