Magnificent conclusion of our marathon stay in Rome , Marco made us live an unforgettable moment, by his kindness, his knowledge. We were able to discover the essential monuments of the city and magnificent views of the heights of Rome.I recommend this activity, a big thank you to Marco🥰
This was the highlight of our trip. Victorio, such a wonderful tour guy. So personable, sweet and kind. Very knowledgeable and funny. He had us laughing a lot. He made sure you practiced a few times before you went on the road and always kept an eye on us . We stopped at some absolutely beautiful places, and he even took pictures of us. Highly recommend. We were even hugging at the end of the tour. So sweet!
How else should one see the sights in Rome? Great experience & we had such a fun time. Not ideal if you want to visit inside of every location but this type of tour suited our travel style.
An original way to discover the most beautiful sites of Rome with a Victorio guide extra passionate about his city , we let ourselves be guided an air of dolce vita
We kicked off our trip to Rome with this Vespa tour. We had Marco as our guide and he showed us the city while giving us plenty of photos opportunities. He explained and gave the history of the most important landmarks. This trip is NOT for the faint of heart as the traffic and maneuverability through small streets can be intimidating if you are not used to it. Definitely worth it if you have experience riding a Vespa or motorcycle. Marco rode slow to ensure we kept up and pulled over, as needed, to wait for us. It was a blast!
We had such a great time on this tour! You can choose to drive your own Vespa and follow the tour guide or have a driver. We chose the driver option, which was great because we didn’t have to worry about driving in an unfamiliar place and we got to pay attention to the sites. It was a fabulous way to see more of the city, especially if you’re on a quick trip. I’d absolutely recommend!!
Our tour guide was fun and kind. We had a great time riding on the streets of Rome. He was flexible and asked what we wanted to see and made suggestions on where to go. The scooters were fine, but dont expect a shiny new helmet or vespa….
I loved took this tour is so complete, mario our guide is the best he was so polite, patience, he speak very well English and Spanish. Highly recommended. The price is pretty good
We had a wonderful time!! Was perfect. Wonderful for adults and children (ours were 8,12 and 15). Great way to see the city. Guides were so fun and Informative. Drivers were excellent. A must do!!!
Many thanks, we're glad you've appreciated the experience!
My husband and two adult kids took the Vespa tour. The guide was great and the tour route was very interesting. The reason I gave average review for this tour is that scooters were in poor condition, the breaks barely worked, due to that my husband fell from the Vespa in the middle of the tour and he badly injured his elbow. And he’s experienced biker as we have motorcycles at home. When he fell some part from bike got broken and company made him pay 250 euro for it. So be aware and better yet find different company to take tour with !!!
