Had an excellent time!! Our guide David was incredible ~ he knew Rome extensively, was very friendly and took us everywhere we needed to see. Including a few fun and surprise stops. He was especially knowledgeable about the history of Rome and it’s people which we loved to hear about. Could not recommend a tour more, this is a must!!

A must do in Rome , very...

mohamed_a, Dec 2024

A must do in Rome , very exciting but you need to be a good driver, you will see new places you can’t reach by yourself. A helpful staff

Heartless, no compassion

Hans_H, Sep 2024

One member of our party had a serious medical situation and was confined to hospital. Our tour director called to alert them 1.5 hours in advance and see if any portion of the $665 could be refunded. They were heartless and refused to do anything. No compassion at all! Use someone else!!!!!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear customer, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, you booked a tour that also included three drivers specifically hired for your tour, who still require payment regardless of whether the tour takes place or not. I would also like to point out that partial refunds are not provided through the platform used for booking. We wish a speedy recovery to your party member. Best regard

Good for inexperienced riders.

We had a great time! Best way to see Rome fast and agile. Our guide was great. My wife hadn’t road a Vespa in years and was feeling a little apprehensive FYI Rome is not the place to learn but our guide was very accommodating and took it slow and as safe as possible considering the environment. As she gained confidence the tour became more enjoyable for all with the added speed! Equipment was good, helmets were new and overall it was a great experience. Good way to get your bearings of the city which helped with walking around later that day.

We survived and loved our tour!

Mary_G, Sep 2023

We chose to drive ourselves and we survived Rome traffic thanks to our guides Alessandro and Virgilio! Grazie Mille! This was a fun way to see some of the beauty of the city without so many tourists! Panoramic scenes galore and the history and allegories told in the buildings and monuments. Loved our experience!

Fun overview of Rome's top spots!

Danielle_A, Sep 2023

It was our first time in Rome, and we were only in the city for a few hours on a cruise. We needed a quick overview of the city, and this tour was perfect! This was the highlight of our whole trip! Our tour guide David was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable about Rome. He kept the tour engaging and fun. He offered to take pictures of us at every location. He went above and beyond to show us around his beautiful city. I was impressed with their care for safety. I've never driven a Vespa, so I opted to ride with David. My husband drove on his own. David was cautious with me and drove safely so my husband could follow closely. Thank you for making our first experience in Rome so memorable! I would recommend this tour to anyone!

This tour was incredible! Our guides took us to both iconic spots in Rome and a few lesser known areas with beautiful views. This truly felt like you were touring with a local and that they were letting you in on some of the city's best kept secrets. After the tour, our guide even called his favorite restaurant to make us reservations! Highly recommend taking this tour when visiting Rome.

Great Experience!

Kristiana_Z, Mar 2023

We loved this experience! Our guides, Vittorio and Valerio, were so knowledgeable and personable. They personalized our experience so that we were able to cover so many sites around the city in 3 hours. Would highly recommend this experience!

A must do while in Rome

sarah_s, Mar 2023

Do not hesitate to book this tour. It was one of the absolute highlights of our 5 week trip around Italy. Frederick, our tour guide, was amazing. He safely took us to so many historic places around Rome all while giving great history and information. His love of Rome and people elevated our experience to another level.

The best tour in Rome

Pauline_M, Mar 2023

We had the best time on the tour that we booked another longer vespa tour the following day! Our hosts Vitorrio & Daniele were so informative and fun and really made an effort to show us everything on our list to see. Would definitely use again!

Don't leave Rome without doing this

Kara_T, Nov 2022

We only had 2 days in Rome, and we're so glad we did this- it was the highlight of our trip! Our guide Erico was knowledgeable and friendly, and took us to all the best views of Rome. If you're looking for a fun way to see Rome, this is for you!

Best Vespa Tour!

Thomas_R, Nov 2022

Vespa Tour in Rome

John M, Apr 2019

Excellent preview opportunity for Rome, but not for the faint of heart with regard to the traffic and (lack of) traffic rules in Roma. Excellent guide with interesting stops for views.

Visite inoubliable

Lucie_R, Nov 2022

Guide exceptionnel et parcours idyllique! L’humour et la bonne humeur du personnel a vite fait oublier la barrière de la langue! Bravo pour l’adaptation avec l’audio guide qui a était une solution parfaite! Merci d’avoir ajusté les sites à ceux que nous avions déjà vu et de nous proposer d’autres moins connus! Bravo pour votre professionnalisme!!! Souvenirs inoubliables de notre Max B super guide 😉
