What’s Included and What to Expect

Renting from MOTEZZA in Greve in Chianti means stepping into a world of relaxed, immersive exploration. The package includes a Royal Enfield Classic 350, a highly regarded bike known for its timeless style and dependable performance. You also get helmet and safety gear, a map, and custom route suggestions tailored to your interests, whether it’s wineries, historic towns, or scenic overlooks.

Your day begins at the company’s location, conveniently situated in the heart of Chianti, making it easy to start your adventure without fuss. The rental covers third-party insurance, so safety is prioritized, and the bike is meticulously maintained—reviewers have praised the excellent condition of the motorcycles and equipment. You’ll also have a phone mount and USB socket to keep your devices charged and navigational tools handy.

What’s not included? Fuel, meals, drinks, and personal expenses—so plan to budget for these separately. A full day of riding is a wonderful way to discover Tuscany’s quieter corners, but it’s wise to check the weather forecast beforehand, as riding in rain can lessen the experience.

The Perfect Itinerary for a Day on Two Wheels

While the route is customizable, typical highlights often include visits to renowned vineyards, charming villages, and scenic viewpoints. Because the company offers personalized route suggestions, you might find yourself winding through the Crete Senesi, spotting iconic cypress trees, or stopping in small towns like Gaiole or Radda to sample local delicacies.

Many reviewers note the freedom to make spontaneous stops, which turns a good tour into an unforgettable day. You could pause for a picnic lunch, snap photos of rolling hills, or explore a hidden winery. Gerhard, the local guide, is praised for his personal service and deep knowledge of the region, which enriches the journey.

The experience is typically designed for a 1-day rental, giving enough time to enjoy the most scenic routes without feeling rushed. Some guests mention that the Royal Enfield Classic 350’s comfortable seating and manageable size make for an enjoyable ride, even on winding roads.

Authentic Experiences and Hidden Gems

Riders consistently mention how the route suggestions reveal less touristy spots, allowing you to soak up the real essence of Tuscany. You’ll love the way the landscape changes with the seasons; from lush green in spring to golden hues in autumn.

One reviewer specifically highlighted the stunning views and excellent wine selection as major highlights, confirming that this activity offers both visual pleasure and culinary delights. The chance to stop at vineyard estates, taste local wines, and learn about the winemaking process adds layers of enjoyment.

Because the company is local, they know the region’s best-kept secrets — tiny hamlets, rustic farms, and panoramic viewpoints—making your exploration more personal and less commercialized than a typical tour.

Practicalities and Tips for a Smooth Ride

Bring your driver’s license, and if you’re outside of the EU, an international driver’s license is required.
Wear comfortable clothes suitable for riding—think breathable fabrics and layers. Avoid open-toed shoes or high heels for safety.
The company requires a credit card deposit pre-authorization, which protects both parties.
Check the weather forecast before setting out; Tuscany’s weather can change quickly.
The start time depends on your booking, with options available throughout the day—just check availability.

Guests recommend arriving early to get familiar with the bike and ask detailed questions about the route. While the experience is mainly for those over 21 years old, there are some restrictions—like height limits and health considerations—so review the guidelines beforehand.

Why This Tour Stands Out

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is more than just a bike; it’s a symbol of timeless style and reliable performance, perfect for winding Tuscan roads. Unlike large tourist buses or guided tours, this experience puts you in control, allowing you to savor each moment and stop wherever you like. The personalized route suggestions ensure you’re not stuck on a cookie-cutter path but instead discovering Tuscany’s authentic charm.

Most importantly, the flexibility to stop at local eateries and secret viewpoints makes this a flexible yet curated adventure. And with excellent reviews praising the bikes and service, it’s clear that MOTEZZA prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction.

While it’s best for experienced riders comfortable on a motorcycle, the sense of freedom and discovery makes it an appealing choice for anyone wanting a genuine, hands-on Tuscany experience.

Who Should Consider This Experience?

If you’re a motorcycle enthusiast eager to explore scenic landscapes on your own terms, this tour is perfect. It’s also an ideal option for those craving a more personalized, off-the-beaten-path adventure in Tuscany.

However, it’s not suitable for children under 12, pregnant women, or travelers with certain health or mobility issues. Those without a valid motorcycle license or who prefer a guided, group experience might want to look at other options.

In short, this experience suits travelers looking for authenticity, freedom, and scenic beauty—and who are comfortable riding a classic motorcycle through Italy’s most picturesque landscapes.
