After two weeks on vacation travelling in trains and planes and taxis, I was very happy to spend a few hours on 2 wheels. I've taken city tours on bikes, ebikes, scooters and segways but this one was far better. One thing to note: this was mixed 2 and 3 wheels. In traffic, the sidecars were held up in places where I could hve gone forward. If you have the choice, try to get a tour with no sidecars.
The experience was incredible. We explored many areas of Rome I hadn't seen before, ate gelato, and watched the beautiful Roman sunset. I highly recommend it. The tour started at 1730 and ended at 2130, which was a perfect time as the weather and traffic were pleasant.
We did the motorcycle tour in Rome at 5:30 PM, and it was one of the best tours of our trip. The timing was perfect: we enjoyed Rome in the late afternoon, watched the sunset, and saw the city light up at night. The tour took us to several great viewpoints, and our guide, Simon, explained everything clearly. The multilingual staff made the experience easy and comfortable. The whole experience was well organized and fun. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome.
Great way to go around Rome - we were on a Vespa on our own and it was such a nice experience. Although it was raining they made sure we were good to go
