8.Bardolino: Lake Garda self-guided Vespa tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 16 reviews

You’ll collect a latest-model Vespa in Bardolino and follow the DGtalguide app around Lake Garda. The route uses quieter roads, a ferry crossing, the Strada della Forra, a mountain produce stop, a reserved family lunch, and a Tremosine ice cream break. Scooter experience and the correct license are required.

“Basically the idea of a self-guided tour and then the surrounding area. Our scooter was great too. The only thing I would have wished for is that there were more options to choose from that you could look at. In the end you can decide for yourself whether you want to stop at a "station" anyway, but we would have liked more attractions. Limone, for example, wasn't a stop on the map, but we stopped on the recommendation of our friends and found that it was by far the nicest stop.”

“Although we were on time for our booking; There was a family of 6 being assisted when we arrived, so we had to wait almost Hour before even starting our paper work etc, which took almost 45 minutes itself. The app that was included would reset itself; and blank out, so we had to reinstall it several times. Our scooter had an electrical fault, and would cut out - flashing “Limitations” and “Service” alarms. Obviously causing us stress. And became more and more problematic as the ride went on. Given the late start and the unreliable scooter it was a very rushed panicky day out. The host company were helpful…”

12.Desenzano del Garda: Lake Garda app-guided Vespa tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 7 reviews

“This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done—amazing views, a beautiful route, and a well-thought-out self-guided experience. Just a few things to keep in mind: the ride is long and 9 hours might feel short if you plan to stop at viewpoints or local spots; in May it was warm at the start but got quite chilly near the Alps, so take a jacket; the optional restaurant reservation offered in the app wasn’t really needed as there were plenty of free tables; Elvis was very friendly and waited patiently for me to collect the scooter; and although the self-guided format was great, I think having a live guide…”
