Bring your helmet and gloves
Though helmets are usually provided, a fitted helmet and light riding gloves improve comfort and control for a full day on a Vespa.
Practice before the tour
Be prepared for a guide skills test—spend time on an automatic scooter beforehand to ensure confidence with starts, turns and traffic.
Hydrate and snack
Stops include tastings but carry a water bottle and compact snacks to maintain energy between breaks on warm, exposed roads.

Closed-toe shoes
Provide grip and protection when mounting, dismounting and walking on cobblestones.
