My guide was Alexander, and he made the whole day great with his fun personality. He planned the tour so that i would see new things. We went places that i would not have seen on my own. I learned alot on the trip, and would recommend this to others. One of the best days i had in Rome. Thank you for a good Day A! Amazing

Francesca and Luca took my 18-year-old daughter and me out for a three hour vespa tour of Rome. In this short time, we saw some incredible sites, got a little bit of history/culture, and had the most delicious “granita” on the planet. They were so nice and made the tour fun and memorable. We highly recommend!!!Vespa Tour with Francesca and Luca

My Tour Guide was Alexander. He picked me up at the agreed upon location, asked about my expectations and we were off! Alexander was professional, knowledgeable and a skilled Vespa driver. We visited points of interest that I would have missed without him. It was the highlight of my trip so far so, thanks Alex for a wonderful day!Even Better

This was by far the best decision we made on this trip! Our guide, Alexander, asked what we hadn't seen, what we wanted to see and curated the tour from there. My parents who are in their 70s loved it and felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Would recommend this tour to anyone!Best way to see Rome!

If you’re looking for a beautiful an thrilling way to experience Rome, look no further! This 3-hour tour from the back of a Vespa is quite possibly the best thing we’ve ever done. With our knowledgeable and charming host/guides, we were able to experience the sights and sounds of this wonderful and iconic city through the lens of locals, and their passionate regard for its beauty, history and hidden treasures. Thanks for an experience and memory that will last a lifetime!A must for experiencing Rome!

You get to see all the big landmarks and don’t have to worry about driving or walking to every spot. I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and loved riding on the vespas! I promise it’s not scary. It’s really fun!A great experience! Would reccomend!

We loved this trip. Highly recommended for seeing the ‘other’ sites which you don’t get in the guide books but also whizzing past the colosseum and feeling like a local. The best way to see Rome holistically.

If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate, book it now! We absolutely loved being able to see so much of Rome in such a short space of time. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and took us to some hidden gems as well as the must see attractions in the city. Thanks for a great tour! Don’t miss out!

This experience is really a must when visiting Rome. There’s no way I would have been able to see everything that I saw without doing this tour, plus riding around on a classic Vespa is really the only way to get around this city! Federico was my guide and he was delightful! Super knowledgeable, easy going and was proud to show some of the more off the beaten path, non-touristy areas! Highly, highly recommend!!A MUST do when visiting Rome!

We had a fun time with our drivers Vittorio and Francesca as we whizzed around the city sights and beautiful viewpoints. I was very confident in my driver and loved buzzing around the narrow little back streets in Trastevere, stopping for an espresso and soaking up the atmosphere. Thank you for a fantastic trip!Adventure in Roma

So many thanks to Alex, Andrea and Michele for giving us a wonderful tour. Alex has so much information to give and they all looked after us so well. If you are nervous, don’t be. The care and attention is second to none. Being able to see areas off the beaten track and simply see Rome as the locals do, you really can’t beat it. So lovely to see Alex again, 5 years after my first trip. He’s great! Would recommend without question. xxThe only way to see Rome!

Hi had a great time on the Vespas a great way to the city! We really enjoyed our guides their knowledge of the city was second to none and both very friendly and funny and made it extremely enjoyable. We would definitely recommended this to any of our friends visiting the city.

If you have one day in Rome you should definitely do this three hour guided tour on the back of a Vintage Vespa. The guys were fantastic, their local knowledge brilliant. They were wonderful and kind to my 84 year old mother who wanted to experience what Audrey Hepburn did in the film - Roman Holiday- with her own Gregory Peck driving. We would not hesitate to do this again as you can personalize the tour. Vintage Vespa Ride with Locals

Our Vespa tour was absolutely a highlight of my 10 day trip around Italy. Vittorio is the best guide, and took us to both the quintessential Rome highlights as well as tucked away spots for gorgeous views, lesser known historical sites, and a granita di cafe con panna - a delicious local staple. He brought Benjamin and Fillippo to ride with my friends, who were just as wonderful. They even went overtime make sure we saw everything and got the most out of our short visit to Rome. Tons of fun and very safe driving. Would 1000% recommend (and I am very particular)!! Highly recommend!

Jenica🇺🇸 United States

16 September 2022

We had a fantastic time on the tour! Francesco and Fillipo did a great job and we saw so many more sights that we would have otherwise. Highly recommend for people looking to get off their feet and enjoy the city! Great way to see the city!

Einfach ganz wunderbar. Ein Traum für jeden Vespafahrer. Der Klassiker. Man fährt zu den Sights, durch enge Gassen ab vom Mainstream. Die Informationen durch den Guide stehen sicher nicht in jedem Reiseführer. In kurzer Zeit sieht man so viel u.a. Auch ein paar Geheimtipps. Auf individuelle Wünsche wird spontan eingegangen. Z. B. kleiner Stopp für Snacks. Unsere Kinder waren auch begeistert, vor allem durch das leckere Eis. Lieben Dank an Vittorio und seine Gang😘Wie ein Italiener durch Rom

A truly fantastic tour. Loved being on the Vespas and also having a knowledgeable Oliver as the tour guide. Strongly recommended for those who want something slightly different but still get to see the sights. Great for teenagers!!!What a tour!!

Who would not want to be a part of Roman Holiday, weaving around cobbled streets of Rome on a Vespa, wind in your face? This is exactly the experience you get, with knowledgeable local guides and plenty of photo opportunities. Beautiful way to spend a few hours in Rome and leave with lasting memories Exciting

Gaëlle🇧🇪 Belgium

Had the best experience during our 3hour trip through Rome with our guide Francesco, and the kindest drivers. Francesco's enthusiasm about the Roman history was just what we needed to get a clear and brief view on the most important main achievements and attractions of Rome. And in addition you will get a couple of nice typical Roman experiences on top. For my 13y old son, the vespa tour was the highlight of our trip!Fantastic experience

Next time you are in Rome, this trip is a must!! Such great fun, a wonderful way to see the neighborhoods and vistas…and you must ask ask for Vittorio who is the absolute BEST, highly recommend him, he is so kind, funny and knowledgeable and just wants to see you smile and enjoy yourself! Mission accomplished!!A MUST do next timw you are in Roma!

We booked an individual Vespa 3 hours tour through Rom and had the most wonderful time in Rome thanks to our guides Alex and Andrea. We saw things we never would have seen, felt on the Vespa like “real” romans, ate fantastic local suppli & pizza and had so many fun thanks to our guides. Also my husband, who was quite suspicious when I told him I booked a Vespa tour was after it so happy that we did it and we are full of impressions end joy now! Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful time! Best regards Sabrina & TomFeeling like a Roman - what a great ride!

Actually I came often to Rome. I expected to be good tour.but unfortunately it was not so funny. But first the Vespa and the helmet were very dirty. The Guide Mister, was very nice guy but he had problem with English and the location or places visited was not as it is s mentioned in the agreement with locals web site. The tour was very fast rush. Thank you for your effort Maan

Having visited Rome on a few previous occasions, this was the first time with my kids (6, 9, and 11). So I knew I would have to find something exciting to counter the walking and museum tours and generally adult-focused activities. The Vespa tour hit the mark for myself and the 9 and 11 year old without question, and the best way I've had seeing Rome. Our guides, Vittorio, Piero and Renzo, couldn't have been more accommodating and engaging with the kids and provided several stops throughout the tour for photos, etc. They were we a great laugh too and it's evident they love doing what they do! Driving down small alleys and amongst the crowds at the Pantheon are fantastic memories and the ones my kids will certainly remember!The best way to see Rome!

My son and I did the Vespa tour with Victorio and partner. It was a fabulous way to see the sites and get a little history. Such fun! Victorio was so fun and warm and great guide! He also made us laugh a lot! Highly recommend you request Victorio! Grazie! Victorio- awesome tour guide!!

My boyfriend and I booked this Vespa tour relatively last minute, and I am so glad that we did. We were accommodated on a Sunday morning and collected straight from our hotel. Marta and her friend greeted us with warm smiles and had the route mapped out, although she did ask us what we had already visited and would like to see. We felt very safe and I was glad to not do the driving! I rode with the gent and my boyfriend rode on the back of Marta’s Vespa. It’s a beautiful way to see so much of the city and lots of fun. We stopped along the route for some info and photos. Would highly recommend! Best way to experience Roma

I and my bf hopped on a Vespa Tour and this is one of the highlights of the trip. It was a last minute decision and Oliver responded to my messages promptly! I couldn’t have asked for a better response and the whole process of bookings were seamless! Vittorio and Max ( our Vespa Guides) are such friendly and wonderful people! Being the last night in Rome, Vittorio took us to some of the off- beaten tracks which has some of the most spectacular views of Rome and it is a highlight to our trip! We took some great photos through the keyhole at Aventine Hill, the 1st pyramid out of Egypt ( which is in Rome), visited some landmarks like the Colosseum, up the hills that make up Rome, and we even went into neighbourhood like Travestere, Monti - and had an espresso in one of the oldest cafe in Rome. The weather was pouring at one time, and we felt safe, Vittorio and Max always made sure that we felt safe and ready to go. The flexibility of them adjusting to our preferences also put us more at ease. Furthermore, the love and passion from Vittorio and Max about their city, Rome shows through as they were wonderful guides and wonderful story on each of the places that we visited. This is a recommended activity if you would like to experience Rome with the locals! A Must Do Vespa Tour in Rome!

Vittorio was absolutely charming! His smile made me happy! He took me some highly recommended sites and added his favorites. I wanted to go into a neighborhood away from tourists. We went down narrow cobbled streets! I’m traveling alone and he made sure I got great pictures of the sites with me in the pics. I got to see many places in 2 hour that I didn’t expect to see. I was thrilled I picked you for my first day in Roma!! Vittorio was very knowledgeable and loves his city! I start another tour today but I can’t imagine having more FUN than I had with Vittorio. Thank you! It was wonderful!Love in Italy!

The Vespa tour was the highlight of our trip. It provided the final piece to complete the full experience of Rome. We had Vittorio and Max as our guides and they were excellent. Full of knowledge, passion, energy and very experienced on the Vespa, so you felt safe at all times. Definitely opt to add on the extra time to have them show you parts of Rome that are like secret gems off the beaten tourist track. We did the tour around sunset and was able to capture that unique Roman golden light at the best view points around the city. We asked Vittorio to recommend a restaurant for us after the tour and he not only booked us the best table with a view of the Colosseum, but had the chef come out to help choose the perfect meal for us - which it was! Do not hesitate, just book this! You won’t regret it. Unique and fantastic experience!

Don’t think it over, just book it!🤓 this was by far the best day in Rome. You can walk and see the sights but if you’re wanting a unique experience with locals who know their stuff, then this is it! Vittorio and Max were the greatest guides! So passionate about their city and loved showing us their favorite spots. Nothing feels more incredible that speeding around on a 🛵 in Rome. Feels like a movie and you’re the main character. Extend the tour if you get a chance and enjoy the off the beaten path. Thank you again Vittorio and Max, seriously the most memorable time of the trip!King Vittorio 🛵!

I know what you're thinking: you're in Rome, you've seen Roman Holiday or The Hills or The Sex and the City series, you can't imagine Rome without Vespas. But when you look online for tours, there's no neon sign with arrows pointing to one company that's a sure-fire success and good time. This is your neon sign. We took a leap of faith and booked this tour and it ended up being the best thing we did while staying in Rome. We did the Dark Rome dark history walking tour and the early Vatican tour and those tours were OK, But they're A LOT of walking in the summer heat and your energy gets drained quickly. The more tired you get the less info you can take in, and you soon wonder how much longer it is until you can sit down and eat a gelato. With this tour you're traveling around the city on the back of the Vespa with the wind in your hair. You aren't standing for long or walking a bunch. You stop somewhere, learn cool stuff, and then hop back on the Vespa to the next stop. You stay consistently cool and rested which means you can take more of the experience in. We had Alex and Max for our specific tour. Alex was super informative, intelligent, funny, and the guy you hope turns from tour guide to true mate in real life. The thing I appreciated about this tour was the way things were explained—no prior knowledge was needed or assumed. I learned A LOT. The other tours are spoken to you assuming you already know enough about Roman culture or art history. The more you can connect to the things being discussed, the more memorable the place becomes. Max was the other driver who just happened to look just like Sean Connery and smelled absolutely divine. I was a little nervous about being on the back of a Vespa, but both drivers were super safe and took it seriously, making us perfectly comfortable. They also care about what you want to see. So if you've already spent hours at the Colosseum, they'll take you somewhere else instead so you aren't experiencing the same things over and over. I honestly can not recommend this tour enough. IT WAS SO FUN. Alex recommended a local, amazing restaurant, and we ended up just having the most magical day.Book this NOW.

It was a great experience! 3 years ago i had the same drivers Max and Giorgo, it was nice to meet again. Super nice and experienced guide with safe driving skills. Especially the prosecco moment was the highlight of the tour. Due to covid all the time changing rules it was difficult to plan ahead. Thank you for the last minute arrangements! Highly appreciated. We recommend everybody this 2 hours drive to understand Rome better. Stay healthy and see you next time. Kindest Elisabeth and HarryThe Vespa Highlights of Rome tour with Maximilian was awesome

Vittorio was a lovely guide with a beautiful vespa! He took me to all of the sights (as well as the 12pm canon!) and was very knowledgable about the city and its history. He made me feel safe and was able to customize the day based on what I told him I was interested in seeing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in Rome looking to see the city in a different way. Grazie Vittorio!Vittorio is the best guide in Roma!

Andrea🇮🇹 Italy

Vittorio, my guide, was super nice and knew a lot about Roman history and the places he took me (also, excellent photographer). The views were amazing since it was before sunset. Everyone was super accommodating to my needs since I was hurt from an accident and the replies were very fast. Don't hesitate to book with them!Amazing tour

Rom auf einer Vespa zu erleben und kennenzulernen ist eine wunderbare Art, die wir nur empfehlen können. In zwei Stunden haben wir viel gesehen, Alex hat viel gewusst und uns, vor allem meinem Sohn, der erstmals in Rom war, näher gebracht. Vielen Dank.Ein grosser Spass
