So worth it! I took my college aged girls with me and they said it was their favorite activity. They took us to places we hadn’t seen yet and bought us a treat and the end of the tour.

So much fun and we learned so much during our Vespa adventure. Our drivers were very patient as we had a slight glitch in finding the meeting point. It was a great experience overall.
Linda_A, Apr 2026
This is an outstanding tour. Manuel I think and Guido. Very informative and fun. Highly recommended for an overview of Rome.
Michael_B, Mar 2026
Just so much fun... kids rode in the sidecar and had a once in a lifetime experience seeing an amazing city from a fun perspective. The tour guide Manuel is fun and friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this for a family or couple.

Family of 5, we loved it. Great way to see and learn about Rome. The guides were great and the ride was really fun.
Nicola_B, Mar 2026
Had a great time on the vespers. Yes you don’t get to drive them yourself but the drivers were lovely. We saw most of Rome in 3 hours than what we would have done in 3 days. We had a great time and laugh.

The tour guide was the total package: guide, historian, chauffeur, comedian, singer, counselor, model! . He was warm, engaging, funny, and clearly passionate about Roman history.
He whisked me through the city and sprinkled in history, culture, hidden gems, and personal anecdotes, even an occasional serenade! I never felt unsafe; it was like he was born with the Vespa wheels.
Some highlights:
• A quiet, gorgeous moment at Fontana dell’Acqua Paola
• The Aventine Hill and its dreamy views
• A random bird adventure at the Roman Baths
• A prosecco stop in Trastevere
• Fun photos at the Pyramid of Cestius
• The best souvenir video at the Colosseum
He also took me to a completely unobstructed viewpoint of the Colosseum after sunset, it was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve seen. Seeing Rome after sundown a Vespa is like literal magic.
We skipped traffic, zipped through tiny streets, and managed to see a ton of major attractions within the 3-hour tour.
I had the best time and would recommend this experience to anyone without hesitation. The tour is perfect for solo travelers, couples, first-timers, even repeat visitors. It was the perfect mix of fun, learning, and pure Roman charm.

Excellent way to see the city and get a lay of the land. We saw places that I did not know about and would have never found on our own. This is also an excellent opportunity to get some recommendations for dining, drinking, and other sites to see. Manuel and Marco were both excellent.
Ahmed_A, Nov 2025
Excellent tour guide. He was very clear and outgoing person. He likes to share all the information he will advise he will help he will support.
Robert_V, Nov 2025
This was the absolute best way to see Rome. Not only is it fun to be part of the traffic and observe all of the people, the tour itself hit all the right spots. Our guide and drivers were fantastic. You truly get to places that you would not have gone to on your own and experience them up close and personal. I can’t recommend this any stronger, just do it, you won’t regret it.

We went to the Vatican earlier in the day and loved it. We also went to the Colosseum and enjoyed the tour there. But the Vespa night-time tour may have been the highlight of the day. It was so much fun. Our driver and guide, Stefan, was very good at his job. The ride in the side car was exciting. He was also very informative. During the tour, he bought us a Gelato, which was great. And at the very end, he drove us back to our hotel, saving us an expensive taxi ride. Highly, highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful night exploring Rome with Enrico and the tour group. Such a fun way to see a new city
Martin_O, Oct 2025
Very nice tour with amazing information and the view as well! The tour guide was nice and very informal on the history of the city.
David_S, Oct 2025
Sidecar Vespa tour was a highlight of my 5 days in Rome. The driver, Simon was professional, friendly and safe. I never felt at risk from traffic. I requested that we end the tour at a slightly different location so I could make my next tour and it was no problem. It was a great, relaxing, contrast to the frantic walking and standing in lines.
Neal_P, Oct 2025
Super fun!! Great way to kick off my first time in Rome by doing this vespa tour around town. Our guide was great and knowledgeable. Super recommend and would do this again!
Trena_J, Oct 2025

Indre_P, Sep 2025
Great way to see Rome that is not accessible by other means. Our guide explained facts we never would have known.
Heidi_P, Sep 2025

The best way to see Rome. We were taken to all of the major sights in Rome for the best photo opportunities and enjoyed the knowledge of Andrea our driver and Simon the tour guide. Truly the best thing you could do.

Kellyann_B, Jul 2025
FANTASTIC 3 HOURS! Our driver Oliver was great as were the whole group of drivers they gave us lots of opportunities for photos. Took us to many land marks and told us the history behind them. Nice touch stopping for ice cream (Gelato). Started to rain and they even provided us with ponchos. They were punctual and we got the full 3 hours. At the end was nice that they took you to your chosen destination. The Vespas looked in good condition and we felt safe. Definitely a great way to see Rome.
Angela_H, Jul 2025
A very personable AND KNOWLEDGEABLE man who made my experience, safe, fun, rewarding and a joy to get to know! I would have him as my guide anytime for any destination! You are lucky to have such a wonderful employee, he gets this tour a good name.
Michael_B, Jul 2025
Had an amazing tour. The ride was pleasant and comfortable and we got a nice breeze throughout. Stefano was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the many areas that he took us to. He also took great photos and knew exactly where to take them. Overall, this is a must do when visiting Rome.
Chad_T, Jul 2025

Andrea was such a fun driver and we got to see a lot of the city in a fun way in a short amount of time. I have been to Rome several times and this has been one of my favorite activities I have done. Highly suggest!
