Simone was an excellent tour guide. He's mixed history with light humor and interesting photo opportunities. We would absolutely take this tour with him again!

Best way to see the city! During the tour you are whisked through the city and given facts about many different neighborhoods and some landmarks that tourists don’y typically explore. The gelato stop was fantastic as well. My gelato I’ve had in Italy so far. My husband and I both loved riding in the sidecar so much that we switched back and forth. With the hills, it feels like being on a roller coaster. Of all the tours we’ve done so far, this is definitely our favorite! Bonus points for not exhausting your legs with tons of walking.

Our Vespa tour in Rome was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, we felt incredibly well taken care of. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made sure we experienced the best of the city with fascinating stories and hidden gems. But the real star of the day was our driver—so sweet, attentive, and professional! They made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the ride, and their kindness truly made the experience extra special. Even our little Nina had the best time, enjoying the ride just as much as we did! The tour was perfectly organized, offering the right balance of adventure and relaxation. If you want a unique and high-quality way to explore Rome, this is an absolute must. Highly recommended!
