The ability to receive an authentic Italian experience of driving a scooter in Italy. It was a great way to see many sites in a short time and understand the history of multiple old city sites

We had a blast! We had to reach due to weather and it was seamless. Francesco was very knowledgeable and handled the group well. I overestimated my Vespa driving abilities and so it was not possible for me to proceed with being a driver so Francesco immediately found 2 drivers and we met up with the tour in a matter of minutes! Get a driver, it is so much more fun! No stress! Such a great way to see Rome.
