Other than serving as a repository of historical information, it is a site of immense cultural value that houses many sculptures, architecture, frescoes, and more.

It was amazing!! Massimo and his friend showed us around Rome and gave us the best tour one could get! He is clearly a passionate Vespa driver and we get this passion!! But besides this he was also a very good tourguide in telling everything about the Roman History and architecture… We would highly recommend taking this tour and be amazed by the beauty of Rome.

Cancelled day of the Vespa Tour. They only offered to do it earlier or a later day but I already had tours planned. Couldn't work with me to do it later that day even though it was paid.

As soon as my boyfriend and I booked the Vespa tour, we knew it was going to be an unforgettable experience. We were eager to explore Rome and see all the main monuments like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona. Little did we know, we were in for a surprise. As we rode through the streets, we were amazed at the stunning views and the bustling energy of the city. But it wasn't until we reached the highest point of our tour that we were truly blown away. The panoramic vistas of Rome from this vantage point were simply breathtaking. I never would have imagined that Rome had such stunning views, and it was truly a sight to behold. I couldn't help but feel grateful for this experience and for the opportunity to see Rome in such a unique way. The Vespa tour was the perfect way to explore the city, and it allowed us to see parts of Rome that we might have otherwise missed. I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking to see Rome in a whole new light.

My tour guide was so informative, friendly, fun, and comical!!! Best Vespa tour in Rome!!! We went on a variety of amazing sites all around Rome and saw all the breathtaking attractions!

WhitJax

The first thing I did upon arriving in Rome was the Vespa tour with Francesco. He was very knowledgeable about the city and friendly. The communication was easy and open during the booking and during the tour. It’s such a great way to see the city like a local with the ease and flexibility to hop on and off and make your on route. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

FergusPr

I had an absolutely amazing time. I booked the 4 hour self drive Vespa tour and saw so much of Rome on my first morning. Vittorio was our tour guide and he spoke about Rome with passion and enthusiasm. We stopped twice for espresso and the tour stopped regularly to let us go inside or see attractions. Be aware these stops are very quick and our group used them to decide what we wanted to come back to and see in more detail. Driving in the roads in Rome was easier than I thought and the other tour drivers either led or ride at the back so I felt very safe. I recommend doing this early in your stay so you see loads of tourist stuff as well as some unbelievable views of the city.
