If you are looking for a Vespa self rive tour then I would highly recommend this one. It was interesting and fun and we even got a free ice cream!

An absolute highlight! A wonderful way to see Rome. We went on the evening tour and drove ourselves. Experience driving is definitely a must as there is a lot of zipping around at a fun pace (the company make this very clear from the beginning). We loved it! You ride around beautiful sites then stop for a moment to get the history and explanation on each place and some good photos. 100% recommend and we loved it.

The check-in was not a fun experience. The desk lady almost had us all convinced it was too dangerous for us to drive in Rome. Then the guide that took us to meet the large group was on his phone the whole time as we tried to follow him to the location. One person got separated because the light changed, and traffic cut them off. He was unaware of anything. BUT!!!! once we got past all of that this was the most fun and still the most talked about part of our trip. The actual large group guide we had took us to some hidden gems with views of Rome that you can't even imagine. This experience was everything we expected and then some. This was the best way to see the city even after we were there for several days and seen so much. If you can ride on 2 wheels this is way more fun than being driven or in a side car. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Absolutely fantastic way to see the sights and ride a Vespa in Rome. I am an experienced scooter rider in the UK but even so was a little concerned about riding in the Rome traffic. However, having chosen the 5.30pm Sunday tour and having an experienced guide to follow made it so easy and 1 hour in I was riding like a true Roman!

Highly recommend, a great way to see Rome. My only negative is I can't write a review unless it is long winded ! 🤷
Which is why I had to add the last bit.

So much fun, saw things we wouldnt have otherwise seen!! Great tour - just enough history. It was great to ride around all the sites too because it was like free air conditioning

I did this tour in February and halfway through it started raining. I knew this was a possibility but Stefan was amazing and still powered through with amazing facts and interesting stories about his city! I couldn’t have asked for a better first day to see all the sights. I recommend doing this tour first and make a note of the sites you see to then go visit in your own time which is what I did! The tour went to all the major places and also has some unique smaller ones. Even if we were driving past somewhere Stefan would explain it at the traffic lights or at the next opportunity. The stop in Trastevere was a highlight for me to have a hot chocolate in a local neighbourhood. Toward the end the rain cleared up and Stefan took some nice photos of me in front of a beautiful fountain!
Be reminded though that not only having experience riding is required, but city riding also. Rome is not like riding on motorways back home - lucky for me I was told I rode like a local!!

This was incredible!!! Got to see so much of the city and learned a lot as well. Simon and Stefano were wonderful! This was the funnest adventure of my trip! Drive the Vespa if you can. Amazing experience!!!

We booked the tour but didn't end up taking it. We didn't really have experience driving vespa's and thought it's no big deal. But the traffic is crazy, the roads are narrow, and there are people everywhere! The tour company doesn't have insurance, so even if the scooter falls over, it can be expensive for you. So we sadly canceled at 100% loss since we didn't cancel within 24 hours of the tour Not their fault.. completely ours. I really wanted to drive the vespa, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

This was THE best tour we went on during our honeymoon! We saw so many sites and learned so much from our guide, Manuel. My husband drove the Vespa and I sat behind him. Motorbike experience is a must because traffic can get pretty intense, but we had so much fun!
Viator
October 2024
We had an excellent experience! Manuel was a fantastic guide. We enjoyed every minute and saw many sites that are unique to Rome. For the self-drive tour - you MUST have experience driving a moped or motorcycle. You are on incredibly busy, crowded streets with cars, buses, pedestrians. You must be able to react quickly, adjust speed, and make rapid decisions. Again - you MUST have experience for this tour. If you do have experience - it is hands down, one of the most enjoyable, entertaining ways to see the city. Thank you Manuel for a wonderful evening!!

This was the best tour I've been on! Traveling by Vespa was a lot of fun, got to see many sites and the tour guide was knowledgeable. Traffic was a little tricky, but if you have experience on a motorbike you'll be fine. Highly recommend
