Guidekin's take

A self drive outing on vintage Vespas for people who already ride: the operator insists on scooter experience, a physical driving licence and a credit card, and runs the same format for couples, friends and team days, rated 4.91 across 97 reviews.

Vespa, coffee and gelato are included at €95 per person. Bring the licence itself, a photo will not do.

Best for: Choose Vespa Self Drive with coffee and gelato at €95 per person; experienced scooter drivers aged twenty or over only. Rated 4.91 from 97 reviews. Vespa & Sidecar Tours comparison

Trade-off: Physical licence, credit card; non EU residents need IDP.
