See the sites of Rome on the back of a Vespa and pretend you’re a local, hair blowing in the wind. This evening Vespa tour is with a small-group, so you’ll meet a few new people while you’re sightseeing.
You won’t be driving- your guide will. You can relax either behind the driver or in a sidecar. You don’t have to worry about dealing with traffic or navigating between the city’s landmarks. Your guide will also tell you all about the history and culture of the places you pass by places like Venice Square, the Roman Baths, the Colosseum, and much more.
Make sure your cameras are ready, too.
Along the way you’ll also be treated to an Italian delight- gelato, plus a cup of coffee to get you energized for the night ahead.

This is the second time we’ve done this tour in the last few years because it is so much fun. Zipping around the city in the evening with the cool breeze and the moon shining was just amazing. Our Vespa drivers, Marco and Simon made us so comfortable. And they were a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
This was a fun way to experience Rome. The guide provides you with a little history at each stop and plenty of time for pictures!
The Vespa tour was fantastic. The experience of an open air, close to the road was really great. Andrea was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and very good 👍. I highly recommend this tour, and make sure you get Andrea.
Honestly, this Vespa side car experience was my favourite experience during our 3 days in Rome. The drivers/guides were brilliant taking us to some amazing parts of Rome and provided lots of historical details about various sites we stopped off at. We finished the trip by stopping off at a local cafe enjoying the best iced coffee granita ever tasted😊. Thanks guys for a truly memorable time on the Vespa’s - we loved it!
It was a wonderful way to quickly see many of the sights in the area. We were only in Rome for 36hrs, so during the day we saw the Pantheon & Trevi Fountain, and then saw so much of the rest on the tour. Vespa + side car is such a fun way to hop around to the different areas! The guide was also incredibly kind and knowledgeable.
This tour was so much fun! I would thoroughly recommend booking. You get see Rome with different eyes and taken to some well kept secret places too.
This was one of my top favorite experiences in Italy!!! Tour guides were great. My husband and I each had one of our children with us and we felt safe! The views and stops were fun and informative! We had great photos
I loved my trip in the Vespes side car trip with my Driver Simon. He was fun, drove like Italians drive...and gave me an exhilarating, fast and fun ride through the streets of Rome....getting a street level view of the traffic and Rome. It was also getting dusk and the lights were beginning to come on that gave everything a magical glow. I would highly recommend to take a twilight ride. It was just three of us on this tour, the other couple drove/rode their bike and I sat and enjoyed the sights from the side car. I must say that it was THE highlight of my time in Rome. Our driver/tour guide Simon even went BEYOND the call of duty by arranging a cab back to my hotel from our drop off point, which was quite aways back to my hotel. I thank him for his over-the-top customer service and high marks for this touring. If you can Ask for Simon when you book this....
Great way to see parts of Rome you can’t do walking… especially in the heat this was a fabulous way to end a hot day.
My daughter and I went on the Vepsa tour on our last night in Italy and Simon was our driver. We had a wonderful and fantastic time and it was truly the best way to see Italy. Simon and the other two drivers were exceptional, safety conscious and truly a pleasure to be around. Thank you for a great experience! Anne
Great tour. Friendly tour guide. It is highly recommended. We saw places that otherwise would not know exist.
They were super nice! He was great and very funny. Great sense of humor and was a very smooth ride!!
Ernesto was amazing, clearly loves his city and knows a lot about it. He made us want to return and explore some of the places we’ve seen on tour.
What a great experience! We knew we would have a great time and the ride definitely lived up to it. Our guide Marcus was amazing and informative and our drivers were friendly and funny. My teen girls smiled the whole 3 hours. What put it over the top for us was the customer care. At end of tour when it was all over and we were 30 minutes past leaving the drivers, we realized my husband’s wallet was missing. It’s a black magnetic wallet and we couldn’t find it anywhere. We were afraid it had fallen out of his pack and magnetized to the sidecar (it indeed had). I called the company and the woman I talked to was concerned and immediately called her drivers. They indeed found it. One of her drivers, Oliver brought it to us personally on his own time and then refused the tip we offered. The office then followed up with a caring text. What a kind family company! Please consider their services!
This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Rome! The sidecar Vespa tour was such a unique way to experience the city, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting.
Our lead guide was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Rome. He shared so many interesting stories and historical facts that you wouldn’t get just wandering around on your own. The whole team made us feel safe, welcome, and looked after from start to finish.
The route was fantastic, taking us to iconic landmarks as well as hidden gems and some amazing viewpoints. They knew all the best places to stop for photos, and we never felt rushed. Riding through the streets of Rome in a vintage Vespa sidecar is an experience I’ll never forget.
If you’re looking for something different that combines sightseeing, history, and a lot of laughs, book this tour. It was worth every euro!
What a fun way to see Rome! Wife and both kids truly enjoyed their first Vespa and sidecar experience!
We absolutely LOVED this experience. It was such an amazing time with Andrea and Simone as our guides. Highly recommend!!
Manuel’s team provided our family and friends with the most fun night of our trip! He is a passionate, knowledgeable tour guide who shared Rome’s rich history with our family and friends. Even in a heat wave his tour was a refreshing way to see the city and capture some great photos. We had a blast with his team and their beautiful vespas!
A fun and light hearted experience. A great way to experience Rome. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Something to add to your must-do list while in Rome. Our driver and guide Manuel was amazing! Cannot recommend this enough
I can't recommend this tour enough - it was so fun and the guides were terrific. We made several stops to take photos at iconic spots throughout the city. The vespas are nimble and the drivers were able to navigate through traffic. Do this!
Without a doubt, this was one of the major highlights of our trip. Originally, our family had looked at doing a golf cart tour. So happy we chose this instead. Roberto was our guide and so wonderful. He went out of his way to make everything super special. We felt like family actually. The other guides that were with the other families or couples were great as well. We saw and learned so much. Highly recommend!
A Wonderful and Fun way to see the city!! The scooter crew was fun, helpful and informative. We will definitely recommend this experience to others. Thanks for a great evening!!
It is a must-do excursion. Max who ran our group was knowledgeable and kept the tour on schedule. He answered questions. Marco was our sidecar Vespa driver ,and he was an impeccable driver. He conveyed details while driving between stops. He took up the rear of the group ensuring solo customer drivers were safe & "shepherd" in line. He was also amusing.
This was really a wonderful and one of kind experience. Our tour guide was awesome and although the drivers in Rome are wild we never felt unsafe. There was a bike race and part of the city was shut down but that didn’t diminish the experience or what we got to see. We had a blast! I would highly recommend!
This was such a fun activity! We all loved it! The drivers were wonderful about driving, taking photos, and narrating all the famous areas that we drove by and stopped at! Andrea and Marco were amazing.
Best way to see the city! Great guide with lots of knowledge! We covered many miles and it was largely after the crowds were gone! Will definitely do it again!
Amazing!! Had a FANTASTIC time!! The best way to travel and see things around Rome!! Highly recommend!! A* Thanks to Manuel and Simon!!
This tour was the best thing we did during our two weeks in Italy.
Our driver, Simone, was outstanding. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome. He was so personable and knowledgeable.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was how much he shared with us about daily life in Rome, the culture, and the city beyond the usual tourist perspective.
We were also able to experience parts of Rome that we never would have been able to see on foot.
It was such a fun way to explore the city, and I cannot recommend this experience enough.
I treated my husband (who is a sponge for history), my teenage son (who is ADHD and gets overwhelmed easily) and my 10 year old son (who is easy doing anything) to a Vespa tour with Andreas and Marco. For our financial situation a tour like this is a luxury and I had to save up for it....and I cannot tell you how impressed with myself I am...this tour was pure joy for all of us. We all have very different capabilities of sight seeing and this tour was the highlight for each of us. In terms of safety-it's so safe; my nervous husband was relaxed from the start. In terms of fun-even though it's safe the feeling of zipping around is exactly as cool as I was hoping. In terms of touring and information-Andrea is a through and through historian. I felt badly that he got stuck with me because I am NOT good with history (I just wanted to spend time with my kids and not have to be responsible of anything) but he was so understanding and to my own surprise I DID actually learn so much. To get a locals view of this unreal city I abolutley recommed this tour and especially Andrea and Marco. Thanks guys, we'll never forget our afternoon.
