Great family sightseeing tour. - My family and I had a great time. We have two children (10 and under), and we were able to see all of Rome from the fun perch of a vespa. My kids call this one of the highlights of our vacation! Matteo (our tour guide) and Alessandro & Manuel (or other drivers) were fantastic. They were great with the kids making the tour very interactive.

Don’t walk, ride through Rome! - We loved this tour. My husband rode in the back and I was in a sidecar as we cruised some great Roman sites.
Right away, we saw the pantheon- which I was looking forward to. Tickets were included in the tour price and timed perfectly so we just walked in.
Our tour guide gave us info about the construction and calendaring of the site which made it seem even more impressive.
Back on the bikes in 96° heat- our driver had cold water for us and a misting spray (such a relief).
Visiting the trevi fountain with a guide means you get a nice photo without risking handing over your phone to a stranger!
All the while, you’re cruising in your cute Vespa and having your photo taken by other tourist onlookers. We were celebrities.
The whole experience was so lovely. We got some behind the scenes knowledge- and easily reached overlooks or distant sites without walking. We got food recommendations and tasty gelato (included!) and photos taken by our driver to post on our socials.
I’d recommend to anyone- especially those that want to justify purchasing a Vespa magnet souvenir!

This tour should be top of your list of things to do in Roma! - Simply a must do while visiting Roma! We had so much fun and enjoyed learning lots about Rome’s history. Matteo was an informative guide with lots of Italian charisma and Romano my Vespa driver was one of the nicest people I have ever met. The whole friendly team were brilliant. Spent time waving to people and taking memorable photos of Roma!
Highly recommended

Best way to spend an afternoon in Rome. - What a fun, exciting and interesting way to spend 3 hours in Rome. Matteos knowledge of the city is incredible. All of the Vespa drivers were respectful and made sure we were enjoying the trip throughout. The previous day we had visited the Pantheon but didn’t go inside as the queues were so long. Included in the trip was access to inside and Matteo gave us information that we would not have known had we gone inside on our own.
This is the way to see the touristy bits but also the back streets that you might have missed.
We ate ice cream many times in Rome but the ice cream shop they took us to at the end of the trip was by far the best.
We have already recommended this trip as we were so impressed.

A blast that will make you want your own Vespa! - The highlight of our trip to Rome! Wife, Kid(7), I had a fantastic time riding around Rome in the Vespas. The guide and the drivers were all very fun and knowledgeable. This was a great way to beat the heat, humidity, and crowds in late summer. Protrip if traveling with littles: Bring in-ear headphones that fit those small ears. You'll use them for all your tours.

Best way to see Rome! - The only tour I would book if I was coming to visit Rome, it was absolutely incredible. They went out of their way to help everybody stay cool in record high temperatures. We saw more than we ever would have had we walked and our tour guide and drivers were awesome. Worth every penny. Could easily charge more for the experience given.
I told friends coming in a few weeks they need to cancel another tour just to make room for this one

Best tour of our trip - We vacationed all over italy for 3.5 weeks this summer and this tour was one of my kids favorite experiences of the trip. Our tour guide Alessio as well as the other vespa drivers were so friendly, funny and informative. Its an awesome, fun way to see beautiful rome from a locals perspective and although not cheap, was totally worth it. Especially in summer when its so hot, its a great way to see all the sites and perfect for anyone traveling with kids wno might otherwise not be thrilled with too much sightseeing.

Really cool way to see the city - Just do this. The vestas are in perfect condition, the drivers are friendly and informative. The guide is so knowledgeable and passionately in love with the city. There are some really nice touches like being frequently sprayed with iced misty water, parking up where the driver stays with the Vespa so you can leave your things in it whilst the guide walks you a short distance to each attraction. The driver will get some fun photos of you together. the gelato stop was divine. Water is provided. My 10-year-old was able to ride on the back which she loved, it was exciting but safe. We will definitely do this again when we return to Rome.

Vespa fun! - We can not say enough how much we enjoyed our Vespa Sidecar tour. Our family of 4 booked the tour for our arrival date in Rome and it was the perfect way to see so much of Rome without having to walk after an overnight flight. The tour guides were knowledgeable and accommodating for the extreme heat - they even brought water bottle misters to help us cool off! Driving through the streets of Rome everyone was looking and taking photos as we zipped by - we kind of felt like celebrities!! We highly recommend the tour!
