The Vespa tour was amazing! We went at 8 p.m. and saw a perfect sunset, plus it was the perfect temperature. If you’re looking for a more in depth tour, I maybe wouldn’t choose this tour. BUT, if you’re looking for a fun, beautiful ride around the city, I would definitely recommend. The stop at Villa Borghese park was particularly great.

Such a fun experience! We did a tour at sunset and our crew took us to beautiful spots with great views. They customize the tour based on your interests/what you’ve already seen. Be prepared for random people to take pictures of you as the sidecars are quite an attraction! Highly recommend for an outing with friends, kids, or teens.

Overview

Gianni and Adam were fantastic and took us to spots in rome we did not even know exist giving us information regarding the city. We thank you gianni and adam for an amazing time and adventure during our stay in rome. Highly recommend to all

Amazing experience well the money!

Samantha_C, Aug 2026
What an experience! Myself and my 11 yr old son got to see places we would have never seen. Carlo took us to the highest point in Rome for 12pm and my son got to see the canon being fired. He asked us where we wanted to go and what we hadn't seen yet. Was totally worth the money - spent so much more in taxi to see half the places. Our driver/tour guide was amazing took photos etc couldnt ask for more! Thank you

Wonderful Vespa Ride

Patrick_B, Aug 2026
It was simply brilliant. The team were very polite and fun. The whole family thought it was the most exhilarating experience.

Dont do it.

BiancaMaria_L, Aug 2026
Extremely disappointing experience not worth the money. I booked a Vespa tour in Rome for 6 people and paid a significant amount extra specifically to make sure that each person would have their own separate Vespa with sidecar. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the meeting point, the tour operator had made a mistake and did not bring enough Vespas for our group. We had planned our entire day around this experience, so it was incredibly frustrating to find out that we could not do the tour as booked. We had also paid for an Uber to get to the meeting point, only to have to pay for another Uber afterward because the tour could not go ahead. This completely disrupted our plans and ruined what was supposed to be one of the highlights of our day in Rome. They rescheduled us for the following day. While the young man who took us out was a nice person, unfortunately, he was a very poor tour guide. The guides seemed to have very limited knowledge about the places we were visiting, and we learned very little about Rome or its history. It felt more like being driven around than actually experiencing a guided tour. To make matters worse, one of the Vespas broke down during the tour, and we ended up having to ride back as passengers on the back of the other Vespas. After everything that had already gone wrong, this was the final disappointment. For the amount of money we paid, I expected a well-organized, professional experience. Instead, there were multiple logistical problems, poor communication, and a tour that did not come close to what we paid for. I would not recommend this company, especially if you are planning your day around the tour or paying extra for a specific experience. Rome is amazing, but unfortunately, this tour was a major disappointment.

We had an absolutely amazing time! Anil was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we had everything we needed. A huge thank you as well to our drivers, Carlo, Claudio, and Giovanni, who got us everywhere safely and were great company along the way.

Añil, Adam, Giovanni were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend everyone to be with them. Just add like they stop everywhere. We wanted. They stopped everywhere. We wanted to and customize our trip.

Great Vespa Tour of the city of Rome.

David_W, Aug 2026
Anil, Mounir, Adam were fantastic and we enjoyed it very much! The night tour was awesome. You should take this tour because it is different and not your typical boring time.

Vespa with kids

Amanda_N, Aug 2026
Fabulous time! Adam was a great host. Saved many steps, but got to enjoy the essence of the city. Kids had a blast.

Unforgettable trip

Ozge_K, Aug 2026
We had an amazing Vespa Sidecar Tour in Rome with our 7-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Kerim, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Rome’s history and shared fascinating stories that made every stop even more meaningful. He also planned the route perfectly, showing us both the famous landmarks and charming hidden corners of the city. Kerim was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. We truly appreciated to him. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have children. Thank you, Kerim, for giving our family such a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

Awesome experience!

SonjaRose_C, Aug 2026
Carlo and Anil were wonderful, we had the best time! Perfect for kids and teens! Great sights and a lot of fun!

Vespa Sidecar Roman Adventure

Michael_M, July 2026
One of the highlights of our trip to Rome! The Vespa sidecar tour was unique, fun, and took us beyond the typical tourist stops. Even at the Colosseum, Adam brought us to a different location for amazing, crowd-free photos. He was an outstanding guide and driver—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see Rome from a different perspective!

Best way to see city

Jojetta_S, July 2026
This was our first Vespa tour and Arda showed us a great time. This is the best way to see Rome and would definitely do it again.

Really fun way to see the...

Mahalo_4, July 2026
Really fun way to see the city! My husband and I loved this experience. The tour guides were professional and approachable. Our teen boys were a little shy about being in what they called "the capsule", so it was no problem to have them switch and ride on the back of the Vespa, which they enjoyed more. Hair nets were provided for cleanliness when wearing the helmets, and no particular attire was required for the tour. We loved the wind blowing in our faces, the stops we made (including some gorgeous views), and the duration of the tour. They were also very accommodating when we arrived a bit late. We saw many people smiling from the sidewalks with fondness for the Vespa + sidecar as we passed by.

Sidecar

Elaine_P, July 2026
Yunus and mert Super great tour! Amazing site seeing and thrilling rides! My daughter and I had an amazing experience and would definitely book again! ❤️

Awesome!

Maria_R, July 2026
I cannot speak highly enough about this experience! Riding in a side car or on the back of the Vespa was so, so fun - we were able to see lots of the city in a short amount of time while also enjoying what felt like a ride. Our guides, Arda, Fabri, Yunus, and Gianni, were all excellent drivers and took such good care of us. I would 100% do this again and will recommend it to anyone going to Rome!

The Highlight of Our Rome Trip – An Amazing Family Vespa Tour with Anil & Arda

Shamir_P, July 2026
We had an absolutely fantastic Vespa tour of Rome with Anil and Arda. From start to finish, they were friendly, professional, and made the whole experience unforgettable. We were travelling with children, and they were brilliant at making everyone feel comfortable, safe, and included throughout the tour. They were patient, engaging, and took the time to tailor the experience to suit our family, which made a huge difference. The route covered some of Rome’s most iconic landmarks as well as hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. Both Anil and Arda shared interesting stories and local knowledge, making the city come alive. If you’re visiting Rome, especially as a family, we couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip and created memories we’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you, Anil and Arda, for such an amazing experience!

Great for families!

Sarah_D, July 2026
This was such a fun tour! Our family of 4 spent 2 and a half days in Rome and this was a fantastic way to see a ton of the city. Aybars was a great guide and pointed out a lot of historical and significant places during the ride. We also stopped for pictures at the Colosseum and at a great viewpoint over the city. We were in Rome in July during a heatwave and we booked the 9:30 am slot. It was nice and breezy during the ride and is a solid pick for hot weather. Because we were a family of four on two different motorcycles, we were able to get a lot of cute pictures of each other during the ride. Such a great experience!! Highly recommend.
