Follow on Google News | Visiting Barcelona with alternative travel styleVesping is the Barcelona-based company that is attracting a new tourism market: GPS-guided scooters and day tours, a unique way to discover Gaudi’s city.
By: Vesping Vesping is one of the first European-based scooter rental agencies to offer travellers GPS-guided scooters: for those independent vacationers, they now have the ability to rent a Vespa, program their own course into its navigation system, get on and go. A liberating experience for the real independent holidaymaker to visit Barcelona. “The idea to have GPS-guided Vespas was one that grew out of our observation of different kinds of vacationers coming through here,” says the Vesping team. “Many people like the European experience of renting a scooter and visiting Barcelona, but they don’t want to be tied down with a tour guide and pre-set course.” There’s those that like to get up and go, then there are those who need a little guidance. For this, Vesping has thought of the Barcelona day tours: each day at 10AM, a group of travellers looking to cruise the city on a scooter, convene at the Vesping agency. From there, they embark on a Daily Tour with a number of other vacationers to explore the city and see sights such as Parc Guell and traditional restaurants. This tour is guided by one of Vesping’s Barcelona experts and is a great way for solo travellers to make new friends. “In addition to the open daily tour, we also do private tours, which is quite popular among our American vacation crowd,” says the Vesping team. “There we can take all your friends and do a private tour of the city with one of our guides.” American tourists are a target market for a company like Vesping, and also a challenge. With a tourism market that is quite contained within the States, there is also a growing fascination with Europe. And those who come to Europe want to have the authentic experience: zipping through bustling city streets on the back of a Vespa. For more information visit: https://vesping.com/ End
