Tour pomeridiano di Roma in Vespa Sidecar con Gelato Gourmet

Our family did this Vespa Sidecar tour today. We would like to highlight the friendliness and professionalism of our guides. It is clear that they genuinely love Vespas and Rome, and this really came across during the tour. However, the condition of our scooters leaves a lot to be desired. Our green Vespa was quite old and rattled a lot, making the ride in the sidecar over Rome’s cobblestone streets rather uncomfortable. According to the odometer, it had already covered 72,000 km, and several warning lights indicating that the Vespa needed servicing were constantly illuminated on the dashboard. But perhaps the company also has newer Vespas in its fleet, and we were simply unlucky today.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! Our guide, Barbara, was absolutely incredible, and we learned so much about Rome. We booked a private tour for my husband, our three children (ages 10, 8, and 5), and me, and every single one of us was engaged the entire time. Barbara made us feel so comfortable and brought the city to life in a way that kept even the kids interested. This was such a wonderful way to see Rome. Because we were on Vespas, we were able to explore charming alleyways and cover so much more of the city than we ever could have on foot. It was also incredibly hot during our visit, and I honestly can’t imagine doing any other type of tour that day. The cooling mist on the vests was such a thoughtful touch and made a huge difference! I would not hesitate to book this tour again and hope to do the night tour the next time we stay in Rome. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Excellent guide Claudio Augusto. Sympathy and deep knowledge of Rome. Excellent pilots, represented here by Romano. Very well chosen tourist spots. Stops to know the points in appropriate time. Very good ice cream in Fatamorgana.

This was our second Vespa Sidecar tour in Rome with this company - the first was a morning ride with friends and the most recent was an afternoon ride with our two grandsons. It was just as wonderful the 2nd time as it was the first. Our two drivers picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and made sure we were completely comfortable on what was an extremely hot and sunny afternoon. They had an ample supply of bottled water and a misting bottle that they frequently sprayed us with to help us keep as cool as we could be. They had tickets for the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon and they even gave us coins for the Trevi Fountain! The lead guide was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites in and around Rome that we passed by or stopped at (the Pantheon was a special treat!). They also took loads of pictures and videos of us enjoying the sites. They even took some where we posed as if we were "driving" the bikes. This was a marvelous experience both times we've done it, and we wouldn't hesitate to do it a third time with this company or recommend it to all of our friends and fellow travelers.

Our family of 4 just completed the best tour of our whole Europe trip. A friend told us it was a must do, and it totally was! We had fun taking turns in the side cars. Our drivers had great energy and kindness even on the hottest afternoon ever. The little gelato spot was the best we have tried, and the knowledge our guide gave was fantastic. We learned so much about the city and now have some great places to keep exploring with the rest of our trip. Plus it was so fun and helped manage the temps even in the heat. I felt sad for the poor golf cart tour kids by comparison as we zoomed around. As a family, it was also great to get so many family pictures instead of the squished family selfie or the everyone but mom picture. Absolutely a must do with this group. They are fantastic and so much fun!

This was the most fun thing we did during our week in Rome! Don’t miss it. We booked the private Vespa tour for a family of 3. I’ve always had a fear of motorcycles, but felt very safe as our professional drivers navigated all the roads and stops. Monica was our guide; she was this tiny Italian lady with an over the top infectious personality - she had us laughing and enjoying the entire trip. We visited all the Rome highlights and made many stops - at an city overlook, to go in the Parthenon, to see the Trevi Fountain (Monica even gave us a coin to through in as she explained the custom.) We were given an earpiece that fits under the helmets so Monica could navigate our entire tour - we learned so much! Even our 14 year old daughter wanted to spend more time with Monica (when you’ve entertained and caught the imagination of a teenager, you are really amazing - thank you Monica!). We also stopped at a delicious gelato place for a snack; they had cold bottles of water for us on the Vespas. Thank you Vespa Sidecar Tours and Monica for the perfect day!! I will be recommending this to everyone I know who visits Rome!

Worth it! We had a lot of fun. You will be sharing a Vespa with another passenger and the sidecar is more fun to sit in, but sitting behind the driver is still fun. The gelato spot was so, so good. You get enough time to take pictures at the hot spots. It was a great way to see Rome.

This was a great tour - highly recommend. Our family of three enjoyed it! Felt safe & cared for, the guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about the history & making sure you have a great time. They tailored the itinerary to ensure we saw things we hadn’t yet seen. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!

This was one of the most unique and memorable experiences of our trip! Riding through Rome in a vintage Vespa sidecar was such a fun way to see the city, especially in the afternoon when everything was full of life. Our guide was fantastic and took us to so many of Rome's iconic landmarks, including the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Square, Trastevere, and breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the city. We loved being able to cover so much ground while learning interesting facts and stopping for photos along the way. The gourmet gelato was the perfect treat to end the tour. If you're looking for a sightseeing experience that's different from a traditional walking tour, this is it. It was fun, exciting, and one of the highlights of our time in Rome!

This tour is so much fun!! It’s very well organized, super fun and you get to see so many major spots in Rome. This was my fifth visit to Rome and I still loved seeing all the sites on a Vespa!
