We did the Vespa with sidecar and had a blast.. Our driver was great and we spent about a hour zipping around Rome seeing the sites. Would definitely recommend.
This was so fun and the drivers were very informative and me and my family enjoyed it very much it was brilliant.
Anil, Fabri, Claudio, Adam and Yunus were all great drivers and gave wonderful descriptions of all the highlights within Rome. Truly unforgettable!
Anil and Adam were excellent! Amazing tour! Highly recommended! Great pictures and a brilliant way to see Rome!
The group was wonderful! My son loved it and said it was the best. The group took us around everywhere we got to see so much. Very friendly staff!
Excellent history knowledge. Aybars was amazing!! We went all over the city and saw the biggest attractions! I would recommend to anyone.
We really enjoyed our vespa ride. Our driver Anil was so good and friendly. It was a great experience. Recommend this to everyone who visits Rome.
We arrived at the location early and it did take a few minutes to find them and figure it out. Our driver was very friendly and very informative however it was always difficult to hear over the engine and from the sidecar so I missed about 90% of what he said. I still enjoyed the tour and he took beautiful photos for us. I loved hearing his suggestions on what else to do on our vacation and the way he went above and beyond to make sure we had a top notch tour experience.
Sam and Roya were great guides, we had so much fun with them. Our kids felt like celebrities with the crowds in the city waving and smiling at the children in the cart. We are so happy that we chose to do this tour. Thank you for the lifetime memory.
This is an hour whistle stop tour of all the main attractions in and around Rome with very informative and capable drivers, avoiding main traffic where possible. Well worth it, a brilliant experience in all.
This was the most fun tour of Rome. Alexandra was a great tour guide and driver! This made my birthday special.
Our Vespa sidecar tour was absolutely amazing. Highlight of the trip for my husband and daughters. Our guides Aybars, Anil and Fabri were amazing, driving so well and providing information and facts about the sites we passed by. Best way to see Rome with kids - no walking!! Highly recommend, will absolutely to again for a longer time tour!
Five stars. Best way we’ve ever seen Rome.
We booked a Vespa-and-sidecar tour on a whim after too many crowded walking tours, and it turned out to be the highlight of the trip. You sit low in the sidecar while your partner rides the Vespa, the city sliding past at a pace that actually lets you see it instead of just surviving it.
Our guide knew when to talk and when to shut up and let the streets do the work. The sidecar itself is surprisingly comfortable—padded, secure, and just chaotic enough to feel like an adventure rather than a shuttle.
Rome from a Vespa isn’t the postcard version. It’s laundry lines, espresso steam, scooters weaving around you, and suddenly the Pantheon appearing at the end of a narrow street. You smell the city. You hear it. You don’t spend half the day staring at the back of someone’s phone.
If you only do one “touristy” thing in Rome, make it this. Wear a jacket, bring a camera you can actually use one-handed, and tip the guide. We already want to go back and do it at night.
Anil was brilliant guide, Very informative a lot the route. Lots of extra tid bits. Thrilling but not scary. Felt like we were being taken around by a mate.
I only had a few hours in Rome, and this tour was a perfect way to see the city quickly! My driver, Fabri, was kind, informative and a great/safe driver! The sidecar was comfortable and so cute! This was my favorite part of my short visit!
Anil, Alessandra and Paolo was perfect drivers. The kids and the adults all loved it! Super safe and super fun especially as an evening ride!
The drivers Fredo and Aism were nice, accommodating and engaging. The ride was nice and we were taken by all the major sites with stops that provided fantastic views of Rome from different angles and elevations. .
Anil was our guide, he was fun and gave us a great tour. Wish it was longer! Thank you for keeping us safe.
Anil was our guide, he was great! We had a great time and it was the best way to see Rome in a quick time!
Anil and Carlo were our drivers. Fantastic 1 hour tour of the main sights and a couple more we would have never found on our own. Family with 9 and 12 year old. Perfect on a hot Rome day. Can’t thank them enough.
Anil e Asim great guys, great experience and súper service! I highly recomiendas this to everyone , thank you
Anil was our guide and he was amazing! We had such a great ride and had a great laugh. Best part of the trip.
Anil was my guide, he gave me an incredible tour around the city! He went above and beyond to make the experience fun! Definitely do this! Best way to see Rome and fabulous photos too!
It was Amazing. Carlo was brilliant and very knowledgeable. Would recommend 100% best way to see Rome. 10/10
Anil, Asim, Mounir and Giovanni were our drivers, it was so much fun!! We had the best time driving around Rome in sidecars!
Anil was our guide and Mounir and Claudio was our drivers. It was a great way to see the city of Rome. Breeze was lovely and the sights were fun to see on an hour long tour.
Anil and Carlo were our tour guides and they were amazing. It is such a great way to see the city, and all the sites. We went with our kids and they loved it!
Such a fun interesting way to view the highlights of Rome. Carlo our Vespa chauffeur was very informative and pointed out all of the interesting sites and answered all of our questions. We got to see Rome from all of the interesting little back streets and from the top of Rome with a view of the whole city.
We highly recommend this tour
Añil, Asim, Giovanni, Adám were great drivers and tour guides we had an awesome ride with amazing views of the Coliseum especially at night.
Disappointing experience – safety issues and no commentary. We booked a 1-hour Vespa sidecar tour in Rome through Viator, and unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations for the price. First, the ride was extremely bumpy, and my helmet wouldn’t stay secured properly—I had to hold onto it with my hands for most of the trip, which felt unsafe. Second, there was virtually no narration. Our driver remained silent almost the entire time unless we explicitly asked what specific buildings were. The listing should have made it clear that this wasn't a guided or narrated tour. To make matters worse, when we stopped and asked to take a quick photo of ourselves in the sidecar, our driver refused and said there was "no time." Meanwhile, the driver for the other group right next to us allowed them plenty of time to pose and take pictures in their cart. We wish we had known what to expect beforehand, as this felt more like a rushed ride than a proper tour.
