What to expect?

The rolling hills of Bologna are a popular destination for locals, who enjoy spending their free time in the parks, hiking and tasting local specialities at the restaurant.  

The starting point of the guided tour is at our agency in the heart of Bologna. Get on a Vespa 50 special or a 125 and follow us to the hills! During this 2 hour-tour you will first stop at San Michele in Bosco, Bologna's belvedere, boasting a wonderful panoramic view of the old town. You will then drive to the Sacrario di Sabbiuno memorial, erected in memory of the Nazi-Fascist massacre that took place here in 1944.

Your Vespa tour in the hills will end at the famous Sanctuary of Madonna di San Luca on top of the Colle della Guardia, connected to the city by the longest portico in the world.

GENERAL INFORMATION
• Most of our vespa scooters are vintage and equipped with manual transmission, clutch, back brake pedal. We rent automatic scooters 125cc for clients with no experience in driving manual vespa. It is required to be expert in driving the vintage vespa/scooter vespa. We do not rent them to those with little experience or to those who have never driven a scooter (manual or automatic). No lesson or driving test is provided before departure. If you do not feel confident riding a Vespa, we recommend choosing a different type of experience. The day of the rental, if we discover the client is not able to drive, we will apply a 100% penalty.

• For safety and stability reasons, it is essential to respect the maximum load capacity of the vehicle. On a vintage Vespa, the combined weight of rider and passenger must not exceed 160 kg. For modern Vespa scooters (automatic), the limit is 180 kg.

• The included insurance covers only third-party liability (damages caused to other vehicles, people, or property). Any damage to the Vespa itself is entirely the responsibility of the driver. The cost will be calculated based on the specific vehicle used and, in the case of serious damage, may exceed the security deposit paid.

• Once the booking is confirmed, you are required to send us the full details of the driver: first name, last name, full residential address (street, city, country), mobile phone number, email address, and driving license number. If this information is not provided in advance, the contract registration will take longer on the day of the tour. The driver must have a credit card in their own name. Alternatively, we can accept the passenger’s credit card, provided that all required details are communicated in advance.

• Riding a Vespa is a fascinating experience, but it requires attention, respect for the rules, and confident driving skills. Please make sure you are suitable for this type of experience before confirming your booking.
