This Vespa tour from Piran takes you out of town and into the Istrian countryside for a few hours of riding, olive oil, local food and sea views. It suits couples and friends who like being on the road themselves rather than in a bus, and who want a slow look at the villages behind the coast.
Each booking gets one Vespa for two people: one drives and one rides as a passenger. A guide leads the group on a separate scooter, and the group stays small.
A recent traveler mentioned clean, well-kept scooters with storage for personal things, and plenty of stops for photos. The same guest liked the lunch, which included regional dishes like charcuterie, pasta and truffles.

We thoroughly enjoyed our half-day tour with Dejan and would absolutely do it again! The Vespa scooters were in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with storage compartments for our personal belongings. Dejan was an outstanding guide who led us effortlessly through Piran’s charming neighborhoods, making the entire experience both enjoyable and stress-free. Our first stop was a local olive oil farm, where we learned about the olive oil production process and had the opportunity to sample several delicious varieties. Along the way, Dejan ensured we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and capture the beautiful scenery. He guided us through a variety of local villages and neighborhoods, and in one particularly memorable village, we were given a firsthand glimpse into everyday life in Slovenia. Later, we rode our scooters to an incredible local restaurant, where we enjoyed a wonderful meal featuring regional specialties, including charcuterie, pasta, and truffles—yes, truffles! The hospitality at every stop was exceptional and matched only by the kindness and generosity of the local people we met. This was by far one of the most unique and enjoyable tours we have ever taken. If we find ourselves back in Piran, we will absolutely book this tour with Dejan again. Highly recommended!
