Riding along the small paths that I would never have been able to experience by any other means was very beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the village streets and the open air of the Vespa. I’m 62 and have no experience riding any kind of motor bike and I managed well so I highly recommend it to anyone willing to try. They do give you instructions and make sure you can ride before they lead you off on the tour.Hanna_T
