Vespa Self Guided Tour Around Luccas Countryside

Discover the countryside of Lucca riding a Vespa 125 Primavera. The iconic scooter, in its most modern version, offers the perfect means to explore the natural surroundings of the city. We offer two different itineraries, one heading north towards Montecarlo, and one heading south towards the Lake of Massaciuccoli. After a little briefing, we'll provide an itinerary to follow on Google Maps and offer some suggestions of spots where to stop for lunch and things to see along the way. You can also choose to stop for a picnic at our partner winery or have an olive oil tasting in a local mill. In this self-tour type of experience, we encourage the visitors to take their time, enjoying this beautiful region at their own pace. On a Vespa, the trip is just as important as the destination. Please note that experience in driving scooters/motorcycles is mandatory. If the customer shouldn't have this, we reserve the right to deny rental for safety reasons, and there won't be a refund.

3. 3

   Stop 3

   20 min

   Our personal favorite ice cream parlor in town. Ingredients are carefully selected (keeping in mind seasonality), and all products are made with the highest attention to detail. It's an optional stop, but one we highly recommend. (Opening Hours: 11:30 AM - 08:30 PM, closed on Monday)

4. 4

   Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo di Gattaiola

   Pass by

   Using the church as point of reference, we'll be visiting the settlements of Gattaiola and Meati. Their narrow roads and lush vegetation make this part of town an amazing and characteristic area to drive through.

5. 5

   Oasi Massaciuccoli

   45 min

   The Oasi LIPU is a protected sanctuary for many species of birds and animals, open to the public for free (you can leave an offer to help sustain their work). The sanctuary can visited on foot walking on wooden stilts that extend over the lake, zigzagging between the flora of the lake.

6. 6

   Lake Massaciuccoli

   Pass by

   The lake of Massaciuccoli is home to a variety of wildlife, including a number of migrative birds. The composer Giacomo Puccini used to wander around it, searching for inspiration, so much so that one of the towns on the lake was named after him.
