An Authentic and Fun Way to Discover Umbria

When we think about exploring Italy’s lesser-known regions, the freedom to roam on a Vespa naturally appeals. This tour offers just that — a full day to navigate Assisi’s cobblestone streets and scenic hills of Umbria at your own pace, all from the seat of a vintage scooter. For those who love a bit of adventure and are confident riders, it’s a wonderful way to see the countryside without the confines of a tour bus.

The cost of around $62.63 per person is quite reasonable, especially considering the included essentials—Vespa, helmets, and a gift card for ice cream. The experience is designed for experienced scooter drivers who have a valid driving license (including an international license if applicable) and feel comfortable riding in unfamiliar but open terrain.

Two specific highlights stand out. First, the chance to enter Assisi’s medieval city for free — a privilege that allows you to explore its spiritual and historical sights without additional cost. Second, the visit to Spello, a beautifully preserved Roman town, offers a glimpse into Italy’s ancient past with narrow streets and authentic charm.

On the downside, this tour isn’t suited for those who lack scooter experience or confidence. The provider reserves the right to evaluate your ability, which, while ensuring safety, could be a barrier for some travelers. Also, there’s no hotel pick-up or transfer from the railway station included, so you’ll need to plan your transportation to the meeting point.

In all, this Vespa tour is especially perfect for adventurous spirits who want to blend cultural discovery with the thrill of riding through Italy’s landscape. It’s ideal for independent travelers who appreciate authentic experiences and are comfortable behind the handlebars.

The Itinerary and What to Expect

The tour begins at the Reception of Hotel Bellavista, where you’ll meet your guide and receive your Vespa, helmets, and a quick safety briefing.

A highlight is the visit to Spello, an ancient Roman town with well-preserved architecture and a charming atmosphere. You’ll love the feeling of stepping back in time as you stroll through its historic streets and admire its mosaics, especially if you’re a fan of authentic Italy off the beaten path.
