Catch a ride on a Vespa-style 50cc motorcycle and scoot around Tuscany this September.

Fluency in Italian is not necessary, as the guide is an Italian-speaking New Zealander.

Christchurch Bike Tours are taking bookings from those who like the idea of a little stylish adventure but are past backpacking.

The cost is $1750 a person, twin-share, with the week-long tour departing from Florence on September 13 and again on September 20.

Of the 16 spaces available, there are 10 left.

Flights to Italy can also be arranged.
