Best way to see the city!

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!

Simply unforgettable!

I was lucky enough to take this amazing tour of Rome aboard a beautiful Vespa sidecar. The idea is super original — the tour takes you to Rome’s most iconic spots — but Manuel was the ultimate game-changer! He really knows his stuff and brings so much energy and enthusiasm to the tour, sharing anecdotes, fascinating stories, and fun facts. His energy is contagious and it’s an absolute pleasure to listen to him! We had so much fun, and the sunset that evening was unforgettable!! Thank you, Manuel! And thanks also to Marco and Roberto — you’re a fantastic team!

Without a doubt, this was...

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!

Vespa sidecar with driver

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.

10/10 So Fun!

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!

Book the Vespa Sidecar tour!

Booked this Vespa sidecar tour very last minute and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. Manuel was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city. We covered so many incredible sites in just a few hours, while still never feeling rushed. It was an extremely hot day, but Manuel was so thoughtful throughout, always making sure we stopped in shaded areas where possible and checking everyone was comfortable. He also gave us time at a couple of spots to properly explore, take photos and soak up the atmosphere rather than just rushing from place to place. The gelato stop was an absolute must and one of our favourite parts of the tour. On top of that, Manuel shared local bar and restaurant recommendations which has honestly been so valuable — in fact, we’re writing this review right now from one of the restaurants he recommended! If you want a fun, unique and personal way to see Rome, we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. A genuine 5-star experience.
