Photos will be strictly canceled from their phone at the end of the tour. Unfortunately, and despite ourselves, both our guides and drivers will no longer be able to shake hands with our guests - as we all would love to do. However, we believe this can also be an opportunity to appreciate the intensity and spontaneity of a smile..(smiling eyes!).

First Francesca was fabulous, answered all questions and kept a constant stream of interesting information flowing. Manual was a very good driver, stopping when possible to let my wife get that perfect shot. It is hard to pick one thing. Though the Pantheon, Colloseum and the view overlooking the city were all spectacular. Traveling by Vespa though was such a great experience and really makes the overview of Rome special. The whole experience was great.James_M

My husband and I booked this tour as part of our honeymoon trip to Rome and by far it was one of the highlights of our whole trip. What better way to get an overview of Rome and explore the city, travelling by vespar and sidecar. The sidecar was so comfortable and a fantastic way to explore the city compared to sat on a bus tour. The wind in your hair, the atmosphere of the city around you and so many people stop and look at you as it is such a quirky way to travel. Our tour guide was fantastic and we learnt so much about Rome in the 3hrs and having the commentary on whilst driving around was fab. Also a nice mix of being on the vespar and having some short stops to see the famous sights. Lovely touch that you get a drink and pastry too at a nice cafe near the Pantheon. Would recommend this tour to anyone. Don't hesitate to get it booked. Thanks for making our trip so special.Pursuitofstephanie
