Scooterbella – guided vespa tours in Italy and France

If you fancy a guided tour of France or Italy on a scooter, try this outfit: http://www.scooterbella.com/

The Managing Director, Brett Naisby, has lived in Tuscany since 1994, so he knows the area pretty well. The Scooterbella website has links to several reviews, which are worth a read to get an idea of the tours. Sounds like a lot of fun, food, drink, and lovely countryside.

Its the kind of tour that would be difficult to do in New Zealand, with it’s abundance of scooter-unfriendly drivers.
