Highlights
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.

Itinerary
The countryside around Lucca, rich with olive groves, typical Tuscan landscapes and countless historical villas, offers the perfect setting for a day exploring aboard a Vespa.
The neo-classical aqueduct of Nottolini, with it's suggestive arches, a testimony to the wealth and ingenuity of the Lucchesi people.
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)
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.
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.
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.

About Lucca
Lucca is a walled Tuscan city of Renaissance ramparts, narrow lanes and an oval piazza, and the birthplace of the composer Giacomo Puccini.
Lucca is enclosed by intact Renaissance walls, about four kilometres around, topped by a tree-lined promenade used for walking and cycling above the rooftops. Within them the medieval street plan survives, with Via Fillungo as its shopping spine and many towers and churches. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is an oval square built on the footprint of a Roman amphitheatre, and the Guinigi Tower grows holm oaks on its roof.
Top-ranked sights in Lucca: Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Lucca Cathedral (Duomo di Lucca), Church of San Michele in Foro (Chiesa di San Michele in Foro).
