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.

Vespa Sidecar Roman Adventure

Michael_M, Jul 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, Jul 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.

Mahalo_4, Jul 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.

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, Jul 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, Jul 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, Jul 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.

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!

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.

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.
