Wonderful experience! - This was our first day in Rome and our first activity after getting off the train. We were on a family vacation with our mother who had a milestone birthday. Manuel was so patient and attentive to her and it was so nice to see the city by Vespa and be able to prioritize our future activities for the next couple of days. Our guide was knowledgeable and the tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.

Wonderful experience, thanks to Monica and all her fab drivers! - Wonderful experience! Fabulous tour guide, Monica, was hugely knowledgable and engaging for adults and kids alike. The drivers were all wonderful and brilliant at negotiating the Rome alleys and traffic. Both adults and kids (aged 15, 12 and 6) loved this trip. Highly recommend!

Best way to see Rome! - Matteo picked us (mother and son) up at the meeting point of our choice for our private tour of Rome in a Vespa side car. He is an excellent driver with a ton of knowledge about the city and we learned so much! He adapted the route according to what we had already seen or had booked for the next day. We had an amazing time, and after 3 hours of touring Matteo dropped us off right at our hotel. A fantastic experience!!

Excellent Tour - So Much Fun! - A neighbor recommended this tour as a "must do", and it was fantastic! We had a group of seven, and we all agreed it was the best tour we did on our Italy vacation. Matteo and his team were very knowledgeable and made the whole experience perfect! They were all great drivers and kept us safe on the exhilarating ride through the city! I will definitely recommend this tour to friends in the future!

Most amazing experience! - This tour was phenomenal. We had 6 hours in Rome on our cruise stop. What to do? How do you see such a city in such a short amount of time? Ride in a Vespa, that’s how. We met our guides at Plaza Della Repubblica (very easy to find) and off we went. One of us rode in the sidecar and the other behind the driver. We had 4 Vespas in our group and they worked together like a squadron of fighter planes, choreographing their moves within the crazy Rome traffic. How exhilarating to weave among the cars, buses and other scooters! Never felt anxious as these guys know what they are doing. We were able to visit several key sites, including Trevi fountain, the Pantheon, the Coliseum, and a drive past the Vatican. We wandered through tiny streets and back alleys that have never seen a tour bus. We had headsets so we could listen to our guide’s commentary as we rode, and he was phenomenal in detailing the history of Rome and its treasures. Favorite stop, the Pantheon, a beautiful pagan temple. Finally we were treated to a gelato from a neighborhood shop that was spectacularly good. If you only have a few hours or if you’re staying for a while, do yourself a huge favor and take this tour. It will be one of the most memorable of your life.

Don’t doubt it - Suuuuuper cool experience and great way to get a lay of the land. Recommend you do it the first day you’re in Rome! One person rides in the sidecar and another behind the Vespa driver. You have headphones so he’s talking to you about what you’re seeing and the neighborhoods and the history as you ride. Awesome photo ops. Mateo was super cool!

Get ready for some fun with a side of history! - What an adventurous way to visit many historic landmarks in Roma! Our group of four, ranging in age from 35 to 70, enjoyed this three hour tour very much and all agreed that it was a fun way to experience the city. The drivers of the Vespas were polite, helpful, and drove safely in a pack (think tame biker gang😉) around Rome. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The only reason I did not give the tour five stars is because it was challenge to hear our guide at times, usually while we were driving around the city. We all had headsets but the reception was spotty. Honestly, the experience alone, even with spotty sound, made it worthwhile. Would definitely recommend!
