Adám was amazing—such an enjoyable experience! He adjusted the itinerary since we had already seen some attractions and took us to beautiful spots with the best views. He also explained the history behind the sites and monuments during the ride, which made it even better. I would totally recommend this Vespa tour. 10/10!

You must do this in Rome!

Alicia_C, May 2026

What a great way to see the streets of Rome!! I had so much fun riding in the sidecar. I felt very safe and really enjoyed the many sites we visited. My tour guide Alkan was awesome. He was smart, charming and funny of course he knew sooo much about the city and knows all the great places to visit. Thank you Alkan for getting my trip off to a great start!

Great Retro Vespa Tour!

Deborah_W, May 2026

This was a wonderful and fun experience through Rome. We are not new to the city and Fabri was absolutely amazing making up an interesting route that showed us new and "off the beated track" sites. It was a warm day and I swear he found *every* Roman fountain for us to refill and refresh. Highly recommend for adults and children!

Fabulous, my wife and kids loved it also, got to see the real Rome. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and informative

Sam was the perfect host.

Sarahi_Z, May 2026

First time in Rome and this Vespa tour was a highlight of my trip. Sam was a great host and he was amazing at sharing all the history behind everyrhing.I was solo traveling as a female and I felt super safe. I’d recommend this tour if you want to ride around some very cool historic areas.

Faber and Carlo were...

Spencer_L, May 2026

Faber and Carlo were accommodating to show us sites in Rome beyond the usual places to visit since we had already been in town for a few days. The highest point in Rome was breathtaking and the "other" fountain (beyond Trevi) was nice as well.

It was a wonderful...

Shaima_A, May 2026

It was a wonderful experience with Aybars . He was friendly and kindly. I recommend him and take the experience with him

Fun Zipping around Rome

Nicole_E, May 2026

My kids loved zipping around Rome on the Vespa side car, however the guide had limited knowledge and we didnt have audio during the ride like other tours.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that your kids loved the Vespa sidecar experience and enjoyed exploring Rome with us. Our tours are designed differently from traditional museum or golf cart tours. The main concept is to experience Rome in a fun, authentic, and exciting way while riding through the city on classic Vespa sidecars, rather than focusing on long historical explanations through audio headsets. As described before booking, we do not provide audio guides during the ride, since using headsets on moving motorcycles is not always comfortable or practical. However, our guides always share information and stories during the stops throughout the tour. We were also a bit surprised by the rating, as the guide assigned to your tour is one of our most experienced drivers and usually receives excellent feedback from families and children. Still, we truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve and better explain the style of experience we offer. We’re glad that despite this, you and your kids had a fun and memorable time in Rome.

Excellent Vespa tour!

Narelle_M, May 2026

We had an excellent time with our driver. He was very informative and was easy to speak to and ask questions to. We enjoyed the places he took us to and the overall experience. Would highly recommend!

Angela_Y, May 2026

Here’s a smoother, more polished version of your review: > This was a truly unique way to experience the city, and I’d recommend it to everyone. Fabri was my driver and guide—he was friendly, patient, and professional.

A perfect snapshot of Rome!

Brynn_L, May 2026

Drivers/guides were excellent. They were very friendly, informative, and accommodating. The 90-minute tour was long enough to see key sites and views of the city but also not too long and our 9-year old child loved it. A perfect morning outing and I'm glad we went in the morning as it wasn't too hot. Highly recommend!

Best Experience

Roxana_K, Apr 2026

Best experience to see parts of Rome from a different perspective. Arda was our tour guide/driver. He was kind and knowledgeable and made the activity seamless! We highly recommend him! Amazing experience for a nice break from walking, we got to sit back and enjoy!!!

Lisa_B, Apr 2026

Our guide Adam was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great way to see the city on our first evening. Having the sidecar experience just made it fun and a little different.

Vespas around Rome….

Grant_S, Apr 2026

Fantastic hour and a half with Sam and his colleagues. Very welcoming, very knowledgeable and very funny. Nothing is more iconic than driving around the sights of Rome on the back of a Vespa with your kids in a sidecar. The highlight of our trip to Italy.

Incredible experience!

Marie_L, Apr 2026

We had an incredible experience doing this Vespa tour with our drivers Aybars and Mert! They were punctual, very personable, and showed us a great time! They also took our pictures throughout the tour for our memories. We loved getting to ride throughout the streets of Rome in a way many don’t get to do! I would definitely recommend this experience.

Best Tour!!
