What do you wear on a Vespa tour?
Vespa tours can be some of the best ways to get around Italy and explore the countryside.
Riding through the Italian countryside, especially the Tuscan region, in the summer is a once-in-a-lifetime experience while on a holiday. But before you book a Vespa tour, it’s recommended to have the correct clothing before the day.
When riding a Vespa, you should wear a helmet, long sleeve jacket, long pants or jeans, gloves, boots or shoes that cover your ankles. When you book a Vespa tour, you will get given a helmet to wear, so there is no need to find one to wear before the tour.
Once you have got the correct clothing, you will be ready to go and ride a Vespa in the Italian countryside!
Can I ride a Vespa without experience on a tour?
Typically, you will need a valid driver’s license to ride a Vespa. You won’t necessarily need previous experience of driving a Vespa, scooter, or motorcycle. Though, different touring companies may have their own different set of rules.
A lot of tours do allow you to have a test ride before setting out on the tour. This is when they will determine you are suitable to ride a Vespa. If they don’t think you’re suitable, you’ll be a passenger, or there may be a car or van to hop in instead to still do the tour.
